Toninet:

The gold plated ones are of a higher quality than the aboki cheap ones. They are durable and do not fade or "wash" easily. The aboki cheap jewelries are called costume. They are metals or plastics just painted with gold or silver colour as the case may be. The real gold plated are metals actually coated with real gold.
Hope you got my explanation.
Info: From my market research, most abokis are not conversant jewelries from Asia. They deal with jewelries from dubai. They might be skeptical about buying from you so you need to really talk and convince them about it but that's business. Please relate your experience from your market research here.

Where do you reside?

mikelreal: in terms of price, how much is d list amt u advice one 2sell?

Wizeboy:

Make sure you look at the jewelries you want to order from aliexpress very well before going into it, because:

Firstly, most of their pendants and earrings are always too small and look childish. If you are to buy jewelry set make sure, if possible look for the ones they show you the measurement of the pendants (so that you too can take your ruler with pencil to draw such measurement on paper to see how big it is). Those big pendants and earrings you see there are just photo zooming (this is based on my experience).

Secondly, most of the gold-plated jewelries from aliexpress are too bright which made people to believe that it will wash too quickly, thereby having doubt about the product.

Thirdly, make sure if you are going for gold-plate jewelry sets, look for the one within the price range of $3 to $4 because they wouldnt buy it more than (N1,000 to N1,500) from you in Nigeria. If you go for the jewelry sets of $8 or $10 dont be surprise they will still be pricing it within that range (1k to 1.5k) because jewelry sets in the Nigeria markets are now been sold at that price.

If you are to go for jewelries, I will advice you to order PENDANTS AND EARRINGS as those ones normally comes in bigger sizes and they sell well than jewelry sets. And don't tell people you import from China because even if its quality, they will price it the way you didnt like (they believe China products are fake and also cheap).

Finally, do your market survey well before going into it (don't just go into it because everybody is doing it), so that you wouldnt get your finger burnt.

That is what I have discover so far, since I started the jewelry business. I wish you success in the business.

ezstino: I intend to use chrisvicmall for my first order on aliexpress. i have interest on brazillian hair which i have seen on aliexpress, pls where and how do i get the link for the product which i 'll send to chrisvicmall.

mikelreal: thanks, if you'd don't mind, can u place a link to your favourite store?

Wizeboy:

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/914332

Thats my favourite store because they delivered my order to Chrisvicmall within 24 hours.

Make sure you look at the jewelry you are ordering well and if possible show it to some of your prospective customer to tell you their opinion on it.

What I normally do, is to download the picture of the jewelry on my BB and start showing girls to seek their opinion and the kind of price it might worth if imported.

Lady Winona: Okay, I've been following this thread quietly for some time now but for some reason I've been unable to find the courage to import something. First of all, I think chrisvicmall charges are way too exorbitant that at the end of the day, I'm barely making any profit but that's not why I'm here.
I'm here to contribute to this thread and pass on some info that I saw yesterday that can help anyone import goods at almost 1/10th of the price that chrisvicmall is charging.
I was reading Lindaikeji's blog yesterday and one of her articles was on a set up like chrisvicmall that aids people in importing their goods just like chrisvicmall but at ridiculously cheap prices. This setup is MICOSTAR MALL.COM and they charge $3.40 per pound (I.e 2.2kg) from usa to lagos and then an additional 0.99 per pound if ur place of residence is another state other than Lagos. They will help parties interested in purchasing items from major online shops in usa and asia including alibaba.com. U wld agree with me that it is much cheaper than chrisvicmall that charges $13 per kg plus an additional $10 for aiding in the transaction and deals only in one or two china based sites.
I am using this opportunity to tell the house this info cos I want to know if this micostarmall.com can be trusted cos if they are, then I'll say that they are the next best thing to happen to young people hoping to improve their lives.

Thank u

Toninet:

Pls which shipping company did you use?

rapmike: please hlep me. i want to start importation bizness. i did not even know that such a thread is here. please how much is the least amount i can use and what online websites can i use

chemashie: @ all, there is no way you won‘t deal with CVM most especially when you need to import some “products“ which are in black book of custom. Micostarmall will definitely operate like DHL, UPS etc by delivering your product & NAHCO which can further delay your products for a while. Some of you are just finding ways of making 1000% profit which is damn too high. Enough said!
