oshie:
Suppliers @ aliex buy from manufacturers @ alibaba in bulk and showcases it @ aliex where most of us buy in pcs. minimum order @ alibaba are sometimes 100pcs.logically, alibaba should be cheaper.For big time importers, they should go to baba where they can buy up to container load, while small timers like us should receive our blessing from the son(aliex) and be contented. Good morning all.
You don‘t limit yourself to aliexpress. You can even buy just 1peice from alibaba if you are matured enough to relate well with them. Alibaba products are more packaged in their retail boxes than aliexpress. Don‘t limit urself.

@ChrisElena, pls put full address of your warehouse in China for the benefit of those of us that don't have it. Also if one is shipping Tablet PC that is less than 1kg how do you charge? I mean can one combine two tablets to get 1Kg. Just throw more light on this.
Pls house pardon me if this has been addressed in d past. I could not find any post that addressed this on season-1.

signature2012: Good day importers,is like buying things from alibaba is more cheaper than aliexpress?

Yes, if you can meet their minimum order quantity (MOQ) which ranges from 5 - 100pcs. But you can find away around it and I remember dropping a way to go about it in season 1.


nedu85: please I want to ask,I have placed an order for female undies of which the manufacturer in aliexpress said she cant ship thru dhl cos its on the prohibited list but she shiped it thru china free post mail which takes longer time,I have gotten the tracking number nd I have tracked it and seen it but wat I dnt knw is that will it arrive at my contact address or wuld I get a call or somefyn.how do I knw my goods have arrived,secondly please ild need the contact of the "chris" guy cos I dnt think ild wanna go thru that free china post mail cos it takes longer time.

You will get a call from PO nearest to you in 2-3weeks time or more.

Alibaba are mostly manufacturers & they prefer customers that will buy large products before you can patronise them. If you gat the trick you can even buy small quantity from them.

I have bought some BB on those links and majority have been bought. Remember most of these products are being watched all over the world & you don‘t expect it to be there for days. I always tell people to make payment as soon as possible (less than 24hrs). I will paste more links.

You need to compose a message & store it somewhere to use as format for those alibaba sellers.
Let them know you are from Nigeria(no need to lie cos ur IP says alot) writing on behalf of your company (u r not 2 small to own one) and would like to patner with them on their products but would like to place order for 1/2 even 10pcs as samples. Let him be aware you are placing order for 1000pcs (they love this) if the product receive positive feedbacks from ur customers. Don‘t beg the manufacturer cos u r d king @ d moment & doing them a favour. Be strict & firm to let the owner ensure the product is of high quality & well packaged.
Also inform him that “our patner in China (it shows u mean biz) will make payment on our behalf & pick the product“. End it with something like “please treat as urgent & quote your best price for the 10pc“.
Don‘t write epistle & not add too much salt so u won‘t appear as a scammer to them.
NOTE: I will modify this post after 3hrs, copy it in ur notepad.
WARNING: no one should quote it due to its sensitivity.

I think so some extent we should be more accommodating of the new comers. If it's not too stressful giving him the info AGAIN, you can. I'v seen some people ask simple questions and you guys refer them to read a 100 page thread for the answer them you can easily just write it in 1min. I know there are some silly questions but not all replies should be "go and check season 1". I'v been following this thread since the first or second day Matthew created it (even though av been into mini importing long long before then) but sometimes I still ask questions when I need them. One love!

Seems the guy did not read this stuff verywell.
Reason why i said no quote was that many people will flood alibaba portal with the same format which could spoil the job for guyz. Besides, these people read most things from NL & will take us as unserious fellows.
Do you know that the same format i posted up there has been in existence for years? Manufacturers prefer to send samples at no cost to prospective buyers before. Many yahoo guyz took advantage of that & scammed them alot. Manufacturers still send samples free up till today but will make sure the shipping fee is expensive & therefore discourage scammers. Some of them will even promise you that the money for the samples will be fully refunded if you come back to place order for their MOQ.

Re: Do It Yourself Importation Guide Free - Season 2 by hahkma: 1:20pm On Feb 08, 2013
@ chemashie, i have been doing that and sometimes it worked. One jewelry supplier honestly told me how he has been scammed and almost lost his business to a Nigerian.
These guys knows most of these format even the sample is there on alibaba. A seller told me the reason most of them don't reply to our enquiry is because they feel you are a scammer.
The best thing here is ensure you have a registered coy and possible a corporate email. Avoid these free shipping through Nipost so you can release their payment if you used escrow. It works aswell.
I observed some suppliers money is still held due to our POs fault.
Re: Do It Yourself Importation Guide Free - Season 2 by chemashie(m): 2:16pm On Feb 08, 2013
@ hahk‘ma, It all depends on your approach & your profile on alibaba. I registered on alibaba as an exporter since 2009, i used the login detail for aliexpress. My profile on alibaba is updated with my pix, registered coy details & recently with my facebook details.
The format i placed up there has been on for long & still rock if you have updated profile. Manufacturers too want to deal with a potential buyers that can be easily traced.
Besides, you don‘t hav to hype yourself or appear as Dangote before you recieve their response.
Note: response from manufacturers on alibaba can only be viewed on alibaba platform unlike aliexpress that sends the reminder to your inbox.

are you sure this wont need any VPN service to work? I presently use MTN BIS + VPN. If they are working fine without VPN, then they are cheaper than MTN
