Just wanted to make a simple progress thread. I have a niche market that I'm importing and selling on ebay.<br />
I bought 1 item and sold it for 175% profit and the item sold in 1 day, all I did was list it.<br />
<br />
My next goal is to order 4 or 5 more units. I ordered from aliexpress with free shipping, and I went to order 4 and now shipping costs 20+ dollars.<br />
<br />
So ordering bulk is actually more expensive. I'm wondering if I could just add to cart, buy it, and do the same thing for the other 3 or 4 and get free shipping on all of it, separately? The bulk discount is only 1% so it doesn't make sense to not do that. Just not sure if it'll work like that.<br />
<br />
Can anyone chime in on that?

</blockquote>I don't think the supplier will allow this. However, every supplier is different, some allow the shipping price to be free to a certain point. For example Buying from 1, to 9 would be free, but buying the 10 unit will come at a shipping cost. I'm certain that your product is large, and bulky? If so, that's probably why your supplier only accepts 1 unit for a free shipping cost. Nonetheless, you should try communicating with the supplier through real-time chat, and ask if they can accept the free shipping cost for more than one unit. If worsts come to worst, manipulate your supplier on the chat, pretend your a established business and say that in your next order "you're going to buy large/bulk". In this way, they may reduce the cost of the first order to entice you more for the next order. Hope this helps!</div>
