psalmade: Yes gold suppliers are more trusted and reliable cos they have a lot to loss if found wanting. Most of them in alibaba are manufacturing company who might be in trading to boost sales. You can also know this by reading their company profile. I hope this answer your questions. |

Re: Do It Yourself Importation-ask Anything You Desire To Know. by pepe1: 11:57am On Jul 22, 2015 |
shawn5ng:What rate do they use? For instance, stanbic gives #199.5/$. Will they still use that and is there other charges? I am trying to compare using 1. T/T 2. Shipping agent, their charges and exchange rate differential. 3. PayPal and paying the PP charges for the seller. 4. Western Union In terms of costs and security. Thanks |
Re: Do It Yourself Importation-ask Anything You Desire To Know. by shawn5ng(m): 1:21pm On Jul 22, 2015 |
pepe1:1 T/T is not that secure except u have 100% trust in the seller. 2. One applies to westy too. TT charges is 0.5% of the fund +2250 Westy is 18k on every $1,000 Exchange rate is determine by the market force. Among the dual paypal is more secured. Hope this has answered ur question. |

shawn5ng: Moderator has deleted my thread for no reasons. Have been on naira land since 2007. Have sold several phones thru this medium. No one has ever accused me of cheating or duping them. Am still surprised why my thread will be deleted without going against the terms and condition of nairaland. Is it now a sin to do genuine business on nairaland again. I strongly protest against this action. Shawn |

shawn5ng:you too..why are you charging people before they can join your group? |

omoteamac:You see we need to understand something in business. Firstly, this pull of 1k is for us all. 2. There are logistics involve. 3. The balance will be used to clear our goods and if we have to add to it it will just be a token And all these will be delibrated during our group chat. For God sake we are running a transparent biz here. The 1k is just to get only serious minded ppl rather than everybody that will be pulling us back. |

Importing from China is good for people who know how to handle embarrassment ( no disprect ) cos I have heard a lot of sad stories about goods from that side. Though great products too come from that end, but when you are not too sure, go to market where you get quality products. I import from US,Canada and UK, even the China products that go into those countries are checked for standard and quality assurance. If you wan know whether na true abi na lie I dey talk, check the goods I just imported for the states https://www.facebook.com/phonesplusgadgets/posts/915332811863343

shawn5ng:but you didn't state all these on that thread.. |
Re: Do It Yourself Importation-ask Anything You Desire To Know. by shawn5ng(m): 6:50am On Jul 25, 2015 |
omoteamac:Well, maybe not but thats the plan. Anyway not to derail this thread has any body imported recently base on the question and answer. Just discover a new shipping agent that is reliable and cheaper. Brb. |

shawn5ng: Friends, I need urgent advice. I was able to get in touch with a portable solar home system seller on Alibaba thru facebook and subsequently whatsapp. She said she won't be able to get me the quotations until Monday. But I noticed that she wants to know if more info about me. She complimented my looks (apparently saw my whatsapp dp). She has asked if I was a businessman to which I answered in the negative and now she is asking if I am from Nigeria. She even wants to know what exactly i do for a living. I feel she wants to know more. Should I oblige her the answers or do I have tk thread softly and avoid too much familiarity which I feel she is heading towards? Heck! What is it with these guys using females as sale agents. Please advise |
Re: Do It Yourself Importation-ask Anything You Desire To Know. by shawn5ng(m): 8:52am On Jul 25, 2015 |
MUSACALLY:My ten kobo advise is this. Never you ship direct to naija if u dont want ur goods stay 1 month on sea. Buy thru third party and they ship for u Or buy urself and look for clearing agent to help u ship it. It is more faster this way. To ur question Send them ur agent address and phone number but for aliexpress u can add the agent address under shipping address or send ur agent address and contact to the seller. They know what to do. |

shawn5ng: I live in PH and i want to start importation business with N50,000 immediately. Please walk me through the process of choosing the products, bringing the products and selling. Thanks in advance! |
Re: Do It Yourself Importation-ask Anything You Desire To Know. by shawn5ng(m): 2:50pm On Jul 26, 2015 |
Amalaaba:You have to define what u intend to import. Honestly there are various things to import that u might even get confuse on what product to import. My advise is check ur environment and look for a product that seems scarce. Go online and register with alibaba, aliexpress or dhgate, search for product and send mail to the seller on price, terms of payment, moq and shipping. Ur shipping agent will send the goods down to lag or ph base on ur arrangement with them. Scroll thru this thread u will see contacts of shipping agent i use myself. |

shawn5ng: shawn5ng:Currently have issues with my BBM. But could you use this forum to answer my inquiries for now? Thanks for the earloer response. My next question is why would a Nigerian importer on Alibaba prefer forwarding agents? I assume that like on Aliexpress, there are also options for shipping goods thru China Post, Singapore post, Netherland post etc that will get the item straight to the post office nearest to your delivery address. How is this option comparable to forwarding agents cost-wise, logistics-wise and time of delivery? Also is the FOB price of an item on Alibaba inclusive of the price to get it to Nigeria, as it is done on Aliexpress? If I will be using a forwarding agent, which of the two prices - EXW or FOB - should I insist the seller quote? please an urgent reply will be appreciated. |
