As per shipping from china,I think CVM is the best(more like ok) choice right now;cos of their personal sourcing and relatively cheap price,of course,this pending the confirmation of Micostarmall as a viable and safe alternative. As for US,I think Us2naija.com is it,they charge 10% as service fee then 6.80 per pound for packages,for small packages,the price is.less,check their site...I used to think they were expensive till I placed dummy orders on CA and orderbay.com.

I seem to be confused about
chrisvicmall's product sourcing service.
According to what I read, yes, i can
purchase a product from any of those
chinese stores and get it delivered vic
chrisvicmall and according to you, it's fast and cheap. Now, how does that
work? I didn't see anywhere i can
make that happen. Maybe a place to
enter the url to the product i'm buying
from aliexpress or whatever. Confused
sir.

you have to send an email,call or chat with them at their website for you to arrange things. Their contacts are on their site. I would advise you to use the chat tho..they aren't renowned for replying emails promptly.
Re: Do It Yourself Importation Guide Free - Season 2 by koksybrown: 9:10am On Feb 17, 2013
I dont think Chrisvicmal is worth doing business with... If they want to do business, they should make it easy for customers... No reply of emails, no Direct Nigeria Number, Dey hardly appear on chat and the worst of it, their website doesnt have any direct form for sourcing. Im not saying they are not credible, they are, but they need to work on themselves. Till then, i run, and i cant recommend them. Pls no one should quote me

What I do is to chat with the seller and ask if he can ship to chrisvicmall China address, i then mail cvm to inform them about it.

Cvm China addresses are written on their site

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.

[color=#006600][/color] ehn ehn? This is very funny. Your signature hia depicts U̶̲̥̅̊ as an improtation guru. U̶̲̥̅̊ even have a blog on it.
How come you have read about 112 pages of clearly spelt out steps and U̶̲̥̅̊ ɑ̤̥̈̊я̥ε̲̣̣̣̥ still confused? Or sud I put it to U̶̲̥̅̊ that U̶̲̥̅̊ ɑ̤̥̈̊я̥ε̲̣̣̣̥ one of those moving round this tread to copy our tips and sell in an Ebook? If U̶̲̥̅̊ ɑ̤̥̈̊я̥ε̲̣̣̣̥ for that please don't do, cus THUNDER dey. And if you are not;;;;

Chrisvicmall can help U̶̲̥̅̊ buy from china. Get their email or chat link and give them the link to the product U̶̲̥̅̊ wanna buy,they will reply with the cost, including the shipping fee and service charge.

You can also buy Ūя̲̅ stuffs urself and let the seller deliver it to the china address of chrisvicmall. This way, U̶̲̥̅̊ ll be charged only d shipping fee. Bur chat with them first and let Ūя̲̅ seller put Ūя̲̅ name on d product.

Pls how do you guys open your eBay accounts? I have a USA paypal and a romanian respectively.
I have money in paypal but I don't mind using my payoneer. My exact question is; which country should I use? Should I just use a USA details?
And can I use paypal on Aliexpress?
Sorry if my questions sounds NOOBs. The truth is I've never purchased a real thing online, only digital stuffs. Glad to join this league. Thanks in anticipation
Re: Do It Yourself Importation Guide Free - Season 2 by Cwhyte(m): 12:01pm On Feb 17, 2013
Imagine this MEILYN guy has a blog on importation and he comes here and ask how to ship with chrisvicmall.

I don't know why people are like this, El matteo, chemsie, surveycash..... Etc came here to give us free info only for MEILYN id.iot to package it to his useless blog.

This is not encouraging at all, maybe that's why El matteo left this thread.

There are a handful of them on alibaba, but do not rush into buying large qualities, 'cos they may not be a good as displayed. What you do is to buy samples from different manufacturers so as to try them out. You may even use third party to save you shipping cost.

babatv:

those Alibaba accept mastercard ansd not T/T,Paypal, or western union

They will give you payment terms and you tell them the one that is convenient for you.
I think the why many of them dont usually accept mastercard payment, is because when money is paid with mastercard which goes into escrow, the fund is being held for btw 30-60days before it is released to them. You will agree with me that not everybody will want his fund to be held for sometimes when the goods are even off his shelf.

Tracking with China Airpost has been a challenge, i guess,location:10010200 is the present location of your goods. If you cannot get the location, why not contact your seller, he/she should be able to get the exact location of your goods. Anyway know that it takes 15-60days for you to received your goods with China Airpost.

@chemashie what do you suggest then? Is there a way we can use to flush out the bad eggs amongst us here so that we can once again feel free to share some info with one another?
