bashorundon:
Hi everyone. For those of us that are always scared of buying from unknown sites, an IT Friend told me once a site has "https" at the beginning, every transaction done on that site is safe. So, I indulge everyone of us to check out for this before buying on any site. Challey, you noh say e noh easy to make money?! PLEASE.

It doesn't guarantee you won't be duped O, I own a website, to make it https, I just have to pay 30usd to my hosting company. It only means your information like card number and Co are safer than on a normal httpwebsite.

Plus online retailers like jumia and konga aren't fully https, because the process of changing from httpto https is stressful, but the payment page is always in https, that is, the page where you have to enter your card details must be in https.

Intellab:
I read a post here where someone bought a 3G 1G RAM Tablet for #6,600 on alibaba. I don't seem to find any at that range.

Yea, there are.

Here are d possibilities. If d person claimed to buy only 1 piece, then it is an OEM tabs nt branded. Also 4 dat price, a lot of things might hv bn compromised: e.g. no bluetooth, no inbuilt 3G, resolution of 600x480, battery, etc.

On d other way round, if he claimed he buys btw 500-1000pcs, dat may be d unit price of presumably quality tab. My opinion though.

Promhize:

If for personal use you could buy it, but you're reselling don't try it, if you don't want wahala.

Pls I need someone to help me on how to buy costomized wristband, that is very cheaper

Ymodulus:
PROPOSAL


yes at times you must have sent message to some sellers on Alibaba.com and none of them will reply you. Or you must have contacted some manufacturers and they won't respond.
Truth is you don't expect all to respond. But also ask yourself what am I getting wrong.



Now if you don't want to learn about proposal please see the next post below called CHATTING RULES.

FORMAT of PROPOSAL


First of all, credits to whom credits is due MAYORALL. I am a experienced a little bit because MayorAll guided me on the way of Light.

Now there are several kind of proposals. However for this tutorial I will be teaching you on the DIRECT BUSINESS APPROACH PROPOSAL.

Here you will learn how to send a manufacturer on Alibaba or other sites a message for quotation request or business invitation.

Please note that I have decided not to upload screenshots of PERSONAL PROPOSAL because everybody here will begin to recopy it and use and once any seller sees it. They will say he's a Nigerian.

Now format.

Guys how do I handle sea shipping as I want to buy bulky and heavy items.

Hi. Is there a way you can do your search on Alibaba, so as to get results or list of suppliers that accept Escrow as a means of payment.

Even schools are hot buy.
If you want a school socks collabo tho, you can hit me up.
Most sellers dont go less than 1000pairs, but uld rarely find schools that have that population on one style.
Btw, no upcoming school will do this even some big schools run from it but, if there a branded school, deld go for it.

Una welldone o, import masters. Una dey lecture wella.

Big man, i am interested in customising socks, but, i'm finding it difficult getting sellers to accept orders less than 1000pics. Most schools that have shown interest in customising their socks have student population less than 1000. I need my help man. Thanks

@ mackef
Am having an issue with one of my suppliers,
He said I must pay $50 as a collateral before
He can send me a sample. I told him to reduce
the amt but he insist on that amt. But d amt will
be deducted from my order wen I make it
I don't knw if I shld go ahead or wait.
Thanks for the answer.

Yh, i understand u. I said it earlier, some of those u chat with are trading coys. Get a real factory, even at that, 500pcs is hard to come by, very hard, me no what i went thru, but my seller had stayed in Nigeria for quite a time, he understands d population factor as such, could agree less.

I want to assume u refering to me bah? Thank God for d bro i just replied, i for never see this.
Well, if ur seller says 50$ before he allows sample, hes not out of tune.
Some people just collect samples n zoom of, dey not ready, dey just wanna rip the sellers off dier samples.
So, its a conditional charge by the factory to show u are serious about ur order and u are not there to play
With them. Some wunt mind giving u actually, but others wunt. Its ur choice.
U either keep searching to u find those to give u free sample, or you pay the 50$. Deld definately deduct it from ur main order wen u do.
Cheers.

Please am just going into importation business, how does escrow work in nigeria. Please give me the step by step means and method of servicing the account. Thank you

I'm new to the importation business, I was wondering if I could ship directly from the manufacturer via DHL without using any freight agent? Secondly, what's the guaranty of receiving goods while paying through PayPal, Western Union or bank transfer from a gold supplier and lastly would DHL deliver the goods at my doorstep? Brothers please help me out, thanks.

Hello!

Please, wristband importers. I've finally taken steps to order 1000 pcs of wristbands (with logo), but the supplier is charging me $300 as the total cost. Other suppliers charged me higher.

How reasonable Is this price please?
