8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)
IDEAAmazon is also a great repository for reviews. I know when I'm researching a new product or brand as a consumer, I'm looking for unbiased, independent reviews.

Just Imported My First Sea Shipment: Here's what that process looks like
GOLD!Yes, $700 is just the road portion from the port to warehouse. The price for the container from China to LA (FOB) is only $600, which is why I was shocked that the shortest portion costs more than the entire sea transport across the ocean.

Just Imported My First Sea Shipment: Here's what that process looks like
GOLD!Did you not have any unloading or warehousing fees? Is the FOB charge for the rail portion to Chicago? I'm in the process of setting up a shipment now, and getting ridiculous quotes like $700+ just to unload and truck the goods from the port to a warehouse 50 miles away. The supplier's...- Ronak

Should I have the supplier quote the freight to the US, or would it be better to get my own forwarder/customs agent?
