Good Work @fatai2. Your post is coming just at the right time for me. It has taken more than2 years since my last post. Has just been a Guest observing.
Please my company(which I solely own) wants to move massively into Tablets and mini Laptops. I marketed it for a friend last year and surprisingly customers like the products and we didn't have any returned till date. So I have been making research as to the best way of bringing 60-100 Tableats and 40-80 Mini Laptop per month. I know alibaba looks better to order than aliexpress and I always have other branded Laptop product to sell so I can patiently wait. Please what the best (budget friendly) procedure for this transaction and bringing the product to Port Harcourt.

Sorry oo, Anyway there are other ways of making payment from Nigeria to china. It is tested and trusted because have been using the service since 2009. It’s a little scary at the begging but it worth trying if you really want to save the bank charges and expensive shipping cost to Nigeria.
Thou at the begging it is not advisable to start with them with huge amount of money because you will need time to study how the system works but I'm sure once you get use to their services, you will be able to make some profit and saving for your business.

Send money from Nigeria and get it in china within 24hrs.

Also there are some Nigerians owned shipping company here in china that will not charge you a penny for shipment from china to Nigeria, you will make payment at their warehouse / office in Lagos after you check and confirmed the arrival of your goods.

If you are interested, I can provide more information….Cheers.


am interested pls provide more information. it would actually be better to inspect your goods on arrival before making payment at the warehouse.

trillville:

Honorable fatai, thanks for the good job you are doing, please can you categorically state what happens it you purchase an item from alibaba using T/T or western union. I am about to make a purchase of over 1 million and it will be a shame to lose my money. The salesman seems honest but then who knows what his game plan is.

I have already asked him about escrow services and he said it was not possible. He also informed me that it will take about 25 working days to get my goods produced, so I should expect to wait for close to two months to get my products here in Nigeria. Please I need your advice.

Dear friend, I keep telling people here to avoid TT or western union payment to alibaba traders. Infact alibaba request u to report the seller to them. So never make that mistake.

If u have such amount to do business with him, offer to establish LC to them. In that. Way its between ur bank and his, so nobody can cheat anybody.

Alternatively, u can change another supplier with escrow payment method on alibaba. Bye
Re: Ask Me Anything On Importation Of Goods From China by fatai2: 11:21pm On Dec 17, 2013
perfectgen: Bro, you are doing a very good job. I am thinking of ordering USB flash drives from China, do you advise that I buy it directly from alibaba or that someone helps me do the buying; even though I don't know anybody presently and what is the shipping modalities for flash drive? Like how much would it cost for say shipping 500 pieces?

I can't advise u to buy flash drives and memory cards from china online. Its highly risky.

I see you already have a rough idea of the whole process. The first step is just to get a good supplier on alibaba- someone that offers you the best price, a gold supplier who has been around for good number of years and who accepts escrow for payment protection.

For shipping, try to research for a reliable shipping agent. You can try chrisvicmall for this purpose (chrisvicmall dot com). They are d only one I can think of for now

Young-Wise-Cash:
I want to start importing laptops and other gadgets 4rm China in large quantity like 100pcs. What the reliable shipping mean to use to avoid custom duties and charges? Thanks.


From my experience, the best way to avoid custom's intervention is to use a third party for shipping. If you use the shipping method offered by the seller, you will surely pay customs duties because 100 pcs is a large quantity.
Re: Ask Me Anything On Importation Of Goods From China by darmochy1(m): 11:56pm On Dec 17, 2013
Once you see a supplier telling you he doesn't support escrow, that's a RED light. So run with your legs touching the back of your head. The OP has already clarified this issue well enough.

You can order it direct from alibaba but make sure that you choose escrow as a payment option. No matter how good is the offer, please don't send western union or bank transfer to any online suppliers/sellers. also make sure you cross check all the USB drive before you release the escrow payment confirmation to the seller because USB Flash drivers is like a black market, you might order 100pcs of which only 15 actually works so be careful...cheers.
what about memory cards
Re: Ask Me Anything On Importation Of Goods From China by Nobody: 4:43am On Dec 18, 2013
Asemo11: what about memory cards

I think same problem goes to memory cards. the problem caused by mass production, some of the chinese manufacturer don't have a good quality control over their products. if you search very well you will see a good supplier but the price might be little higher...

You can start with small order to test there quality first, another way you can also check buyers feedback in that particular store u are interested in.

Boss, thank you so much for your advice. In order to play safe, I am thinking of ordering it directly from aliexpress. Although the price seems higher, I feel it is a more secured way of transacting. What is your take on my using aliexpress? Is it safer as they claim that they will refund money if I don't get my purchase? I am thinking of buying 200 pieces as a test run which I feel is small in line with your advice.

Hi, I'll like to apply for the ACCESS bank Visa card. I already have UBA Africard and GTbank MasterCard. But I'll like to confirm somethings from you first.
1. Do I need to have an account with them before the card can be issued to me?
2. How much do they charge per dollar?
3. Are there extra charges? As in, do they charge 2.7% of your total transaction online just like UBA?
Please, I'll like you to answer these questions before I take the next step. Thanks.
