    How to get China Shipper

    Freighthub operate on a similar digital basis to Freightos. On searching two of their US sites I found one testimonial on each. One was from an untraceable business called Carpe Diem Depot, the other was from a business called DURRANI WIRELESS CORP, which was operated by Mustaffa Duranni in...

    How to get China Shipper

    I have previously posted regarding the Hong Kong company Freightos as follows: In relation to the question: "What's your opinion of freightos.com? They seem to make sea and air freight arrangements a lot more transparent." As far as I am concerned the jury's still out. My eyebrows rose when I...

    How to get China Shipper

    Beware of Chinese shipping agents! I have written extensively in my AMA thread and in my book, about freight scams. Search my thread for more information. You can get very cheap quotes from Chinese shipping companies, but you may never receive your goods without paying a huge amount more as...

    IMPORTING HAS NOT BEEN KILLED BY CORONAVIRUS I have received quite a few messages from people who have taken the advice that I have posted here for years, and more recently in my book: "Think globally. Don't buy from China, when there are many other countries where you can buy quality equal to...

    HOT! 
    An old friend of mine in China who operates a manufacturing business with a huge staff tells me that absenteeism is growing rapidly. He thinks his workers are not notifying him because a)they are in quarantine or b) afraid of being put in quarantine if their communications are monitored. He is...

    A sales pitch must never include such a question. If you ask a question like: Do you want to order......? Are you interested in....? Would you like to buy.....? that gives them a too easy exit from the conversation and will almost guarantee that they will say no. Be positive. Walter

    Whats a service business worth

    The fact that your enterprise can be replicated and is very profitable does seem to make it suitable for scaling by franchising. The service industry is full of one-person franchises. If you can sell one franchise and guide that franchisee to success, you will be able to sell more. You will...

    Yes I have listed legitimate sourcing sites in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and the Dominican Republic. In the case of Chile the site only shows you how to contact Government offices that promote Chilean exports, but these can be productive if you know what products you want to buy. The Dominican...

    You don't have to prove yourself to anyone

    MINDSET 
    It saddens me to see people wanting to prove themselves by comparing themselves with others. I have always been content to be what I am. I have never cared whether others knew about my achievements. I have only referred to them on this forum, never anywhere else, in order to provide incentive...

    This is a great example of how this forum can really help when newcomers approach it the right way. Yesterday - no ideas - no understanding of what you really know. Today - a great idea that gets your brain working on what you can do, so you can forget thinking about what you can't do. Best...

    Dropshipping from Alibaba

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    You must understand the difference between Alibaba and it's retail offshoot Aliexpress. No suppliers on Alibaba will dropship. Almost every supplier on Aliexpress will. I suggest you search the forum for threads dealing with dropshipping, and don't be fooled by people selling courses on how to...

    B2G "the biggest transfer of wealth in American history, much worse than the robber barons."

    No-bid deals are very easy to win with a little bit of mutual back scratching. I have never done it in an unethical manner, but by salesmanship. Like the very big contract to supply ID's for members of airport bomb squads. I won the contract simply by introducing a concept that had never been...
