Well, first of all, you will need to have a company and company account.

now, the second bit is that you should know how to do TT, short for telegraph transfer, it is the most convenient without you having to go to a western union branch.... Another thing about TT is that, the receiving party can never claim that the money never went to them as all the records are kept by the bank.

Another thing about MOQ is that, while MOQ exist for a good reason, most company will accept a lower ordering quantity.... but at a higher price.... this is all commercial negotiation and that, you can either look to other businesses locally to help get meet the quantity or that you can pay a higher price...

one word of caution, always QC through sample orders... those that you see on web might not always be a fair representation.... And you might want to look at a DHL or forwarder account for your shipping...

Idealistic!

A word of advise. Do not trust people easily. Never believe in sending money to someone you don't know.

Another thing. On the sample orders, usually if they really want to cheat on you, the sample orders are 100% great! But once you give them the money, your goods either never reach you, or they send you bad quality or of a different material.

I was never cheated before but these are the true encounters I heard.

So think twice and make sure you never fall into their traps.

I knew some very big distributor centress and went there b4 in China last year.

1. Guangzhou city for baby items: 中山8路export market. do remember dont go those domestic market, othervise you can't find any Cxrter, Gxp, mothercxare brand product or romper, also can find Japan & koran style (tap written in Japanese or Korean in very good quality)for those china domestic market only can find some baby clother only suitable ware in China.

for adult clothes: export market which near guangzhou behind realway station. adult clothes also can go to china local market, just cross the road will do. 白马，红棉,etc market very cheap, in 13巷 you can fidn ￥10 even ￥5 can get wholesale price for 5 or 10 pcs with good quality in local china wholesale market ， but you have to get up earlier 4am to look for goods. after 7 am, martket closed.

for bag: near guangzhou realway station, the road call 桂花岗， there got 10 market to sell , all are manufactor set up there, you also can make order there.

for accessary and shoes: around 广州海珠广场 , got 3 markets, can't remember the name, you just ask whose people , they will show you .

I went to Guangzhou a lot for import my goods last year. you can take cab from airpot cost around ￥100 ++, then look for a local hotel ( got one guangzhou local hotel call 7 days , very cheap n near some distributor centre, cost ￥60~120 per day, price depending what kind of room you take, no food previde)



2. other distributor : yiwu city in Ze jian. have a lot big market from baby and adult items all have . Can take plane to Shanghai city then transfer to local bus at airpot ￥200 can reached there, if you rich can take cab also cost ￥600~1000. I went once only.

3. fu jian Shi shi City also big distributor market, but I never go Fu Jian, coz not convience to take plane.

Hi ganetzp,

For bag, can advice the place near Guangzhou railway station, they have samples for you to see or you have to bring your own pictures for them to replicate?

Do you have any manufacturers or suppliers to share in Guangzhou as I intend to go in Jan 2011.

Hi Singyen

I actually sourced thru alibaba and made a personal trip myself to the country i wish to import my goods from.

As to the payment, TT (telegraphic transfer) is usually avaialble in Bank of China as they have FX rates for that day. Go grab a TT form at the Bank to see the relevant details.

As to using western union, you can do remittance from most singpost branches. check out the url : http://www.westernunion.com/info/selectCountry.asp

hi, you just have to source for the wholesales market from the country you wanna purchase stock from, fly over there to make the actual purchase, send back by; either you hand carry, or dhl as dhl have parcel boxes can store ard 10kg to 25 kg of gds and the charges is lower and no worry of loss parcel, or freight agent... but it expensive if you only buy a small qty. please noted, above S$400 worth of goods, you will be charge by custom for GST.
