    GOLD! SOURCING 
    @LPPC, My view is that a random pre-shipment inspection keeps a manufacturer on their toes because they know that every item can potentially be checked. Therefore, if they try to cheat by putting in a number of items that don't meet your specifications it is a big gamble for them, and they are...

    @LPPC, At least for your new order I suggest that it is worth doing only the inspection during production, and see how it goes. They are unlikely to substitute the old mother boards after that inspection is done, because ordering inspections will tend to make them understand that you are...

    With toilet paper not yet available in Britain in the 16th Century, Mary Queen of Scots used Spagnum Moss. Her upstairs Loo at Jedburgh Castle had a hole in the floor (known as the Long Drop) and a recess in the wall where for her convenience her servants daily placed a fresh supply of moss...

    Unfortunately it won't. Anti viral drugs are not universal in their effect but if you are susceptible, having a flu shot will no doubt help avoid getting the flu and making your state of health worse. Walter

    Improvement patent? Innovation patent? Same thing? Or any other way to protect a variation to an existing design concept?

    That is probably the worst way. If you approach suppliers on Alibaba, most of whom are traders, although they claim to be manufacturers, you will be working through a middle man thereby slowing the whole process, increasing the risk of your idea being stolen, and adding to the cost. Even if you...

    A recent thread with the title Amazon Sucks attracted a lot of interest, so I thought I would post this item to show that Amazon can be seriously FASTLANE. I think it is appropriate to post here, because it contains an affiliate link, so I am selling something - My safe sourcing and importing...

    How to get China Shipper

    @Ron Gipp I am glad that you haven't ordered yet. I agree with @Suzanne Bazemore that the shipping cost for 200 T Shirts is very high. The $40 shipping charge for a sample is quite reasonable. When you ask a freight forwarder for a quote you will need to tell them the weight, and the carton...

    Why are you vegetarian/ vegan?

    HEALTH 
    DISCLAIMER: For health reasons I eat very little meat. I also bred cattle on large grazing properties for over 30 years, more as a hobby than a business. The sensationalist documentaries that I have seen invariably display exceptions rather than the rule. One day we might see documentaries...

    Brand building:How important is the logo?

    Regardless of what logo you choose, keep in mind the advice I have written about maintaining control of the design process with logos and labels. Professional designers may be clever at producing very pretty logos and labels, but most seem to lack any understanding of the message that logos and...

    What do you think about buying an 'established' dropshipping store? Scam?

    Getting dropship suppliers in the country where you live/sell is relatively simple, but to get them in other countries pretty well limits you to Aliexpress. Exporters in most countries will only be interested in shipping direct to you, their customer. If on the other hand you want to carry...

    What do you think about buying an 'established' dropshipping store? Scam?

    That is not a huge problem if you are able and willing to at least carry a small inventory, and you avoid buying from China. Sourcing in countries other than China is a good way to find products that have not previously been sold in the country where you want to sell. Product acquisition is the...

    What do you think about buying an 'established' dropshipping store? Scam?

    To clarify a major issue regarding dropshipping: The great majority of those "crappy stores" buy from Aliexpress vendors. It is near impossible to get a supplier on Alibaba to dropship. With systems such as Oberlo making it too easy to set up a dropshipping store sourcing from Aliexpress the...

    Brand building:How important is the logo?

    It is not a good idea to concentrate on a logo only. If you want to build a brand you should develop a complete marketing program that involves understanding your potential customers, and using everything from brand name through: logo, slogan, labels, packaging (both inner and outer), all in...
