Importing from China

[Blue]

Last month I was contacted buy a company in China who wanted to produce products for my stores for me. This will be my progress thread about it.

I asked the supplier for some pricing terms. They sent me a list of products and prices for 200-1000pcs. I chose a product that was $25/ea.

I asked them to send me 2 samples. They sent me 2 samples for $110 including shipping. I wired them $110 and paid a $45 international wire fee, so $155 for 2 samples.

I received the samples rather quickly and was happy with them. So I contacted them about mass producing them. I wanted to change a few things on the samples. They were very good and accommodating my changes and adding little things here and there. When all was said and done, I was at $27 each including all packaging. I sent them my logo, product labels and inserts in PDF form.

They wanted a 200 count order, but I ended up ordering only 100 pieces. Freight to the US was about $900 via cargo ship. So my cost was $3600 for 100 pieces. I had to wire them 30% before production began which was 2 weeks ago. I should be getting my product in middle of May.

In the meantime, I am exploring a range of other products and even inventing some myself, they are making them over there and I should be getting samples of these new products sent to me soon.
