Actually, this video just made me want to stick even more with Alibaba, haha. Thing is, lots of "factories" are actually Trade companies (Usually it's possible to determine that just by theirs address). I started Amazon FBA two years ago and have already crossed $150k per month. I do love your content but why not create a video on how to start with all the techniques that YouTubers prefer to keep to themselves? I gained this knowledge after reading an eBook. No one is talking about how to outrank competitors, gain additional traffic outside Amazon, or properly implement off-site SEO for additional exposure etc etc. I have no doubt that this kind of video would be super beneficial to your audience.

I am a manufacturer in China. In fact, the most reliable way to find suppliers is to find the official website of the manufacturer of the product you need. Usually you will find direct contact information and products there.

This video proves that Alibaba is better than the all other alternatives 😊

I live in Shanghai and been handling sourcing, supply chain management, QC and shipping for the last 6 years. I have never created deals behind clients backs directly with the factory. I work a bit differently, my clients pay me a retainer, with that they get full transparency with whom the factory is, contacts etc. working that way offers us both the trust and ability to know why we are working together, they pay me, i share info. They essentially have their own consultant as a trusted partner to assist them in handling everything from start to finish. i get paid, they get what they want and more. Good video, informative and spot on. I use multiple sources to find factories if I dont have a product on my database.

Very nice explanation of all the other platforms. The language barrier and the differences in culture are always the concern. You don't know who to trust starting out. Thank You

I am a freight forwarder in China, and my 13 years of experience have taught me that when you work with a trading company, I try my best to hide the factory's contact information. If freight services are also provided by trading companies, then it is completely impossible for you to have access to the factory's contact information. The only thing you need to do is to designate a freight forwarder to serve you, because the freight forwarder will pick up the goods from the factory and load them onto the ship, and has the ability and opportunity to obtain the factory's contact information for you.❤

I am always looking for a local wholesales in the US. It is always convenience as far as shipping and handling, quick and quality.

I bought an $800 Lithium battery pack for ebike from DHgate 8 years ago. It was professionally laser cut packaging. Beautifully made. Still works perfectly today.

For anyone considering Alibaba, just know that the 'minimum piece' that they cite may not actually be accurate. I was looking at a supplier who said the minimum order was 1 case. When I inquired, they wouldn't ship anything less than an entire shipping container.

I love the videos you present to get us started into Importation line of ecommerce.

Steve I was at a loss at the amount of channels that were advising to do sketchy things to make money, and then I saw your channel. Thank you! I was very interested in your video on Japan imports, as quality is important to me and my potential customer base. I look forward to testing some of your suggestions. Thank you!

[royatoday]

Great video. I did not know there are so many other options. But after watching the entire video, i feel like Alibaba is the best option after all lol based on cons for every other option you mentioned.

By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money.

Wow, that's awesome! It's so detailed, must have taken a lot of effort!
I'm a supplier from China and I really admire all your hard work in finding reliable sources.

This is fast becoming my favorite channel for business related matters!💗

In addition to the main business, the salesmen of our company also help their foreign customers purchase Chinese products. They can always find reliable quality goods and supply Chinese products to their customers at very low prices.

As always very helpful, I really appreciate your videos straight to the point and very professional presentation. You save us time. Thanks very much.

I don’t recommend DHgate, alibaba is cheaper compared to them. I bought cups (50pcs), they messed up my whole order. I left a note to them before checkout and specifically said which color I wanted. They didn’t read my note, ignored it and gave me the wrong colors. My order also took almost 3 months to get to me, I was overly excited when it was finally delivered to my doorstep.

And no I was not able to ship it back because they wanted me to pay the fees for sending it back. So I still have them………….
