How To Start Importing Gadgets From USA And Make 10x Profit by Delight4(m): 10:22am On Mar 05, 2020
*Topic: How to import Phones and laptops from USA at a very cheap rate*

So let's begin the importation training


To acess the US online shopping site, you will need an app that can change your IP adress, from one county to another.


So the required app is called *PUFFIN BROWSER* because of the restriction to Nigerian IPs on some of these sites where you can buy cheap phones and other gadgets.


Most of you are already used to classified Ads websites like OLX, Jiji and the many sites springing up across Nigeria.


I don’t need to start telling you how things are being done on classified Ads websites – these are sites where you can buy things at extremely cheap rates, peradventure they are legit.
On this sites, you can get to see iPhones, Samsung phones, Huawei and many other phones are dead cheap price.


It is not a surprise to see a Samsung S8 at $150 and some sellers might even sell for $100, depending on the state of the phone.


I will be introducing you to 2 great US websites where you can get used phones to buy cheaply and ship to Nigeria without stress.

1. Offerup.com
2. Craiglist.com


But before you start exploring these sites, there are something I would want you to get familiar with.


Location: These sites are just like our local classified Ad websites like OLX, jumia market and so on. So it is important to note that a buyer in Lagos might not be able to easily connect with a seller in Kaduna.
In this report, I will hint you with the contacts of agents in different cities.
Re: How To Start Importing Gadgets From USA And Make 10x Profit by Delight4(m): 10:24am On Mar 05, 2020
Agents: To trade successfully with someone in the United States, you need to have a legit agent who will serve as a middle man for you. These agents are Nigerians in the US and they are 100% legit.


They will get payment from you and pay your seller on your behalf. They charge you a small amount for fuel and shipping down to Nigeria.


Unlocking: THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
You need to be careful in this aspect so you don’t get it wrong. When we started in the started business, we had terrible experiences, but never worries, you are not going to be facing this as the issue will be cleared to you.


Most phones coming from the US has to be unlocked as we use different networks. There are different carriers like Sprint, T-mobile, AT & T (which is the easiest to unlock)
Re: How To Start Importing Gadgets From USA And Make 10x Profit by Delight4(m): 10:25am On Mar 05, 2020
Others are easy to unlock as well, so don’t get scared.

It is important to note that phones have different unlocking processes, so it is also more important to know if the phone can be unlocked in Nigeria before buying.

So before making an attempt to buy any phone, it is necessary to call the engineer to confirm if the phone can be unlocked
Re: How To Start Importing Gadgets From USA And Make 10x Profit by Delight4(m): 10:25am On Mar 05, 2020
Your Identity: Dealing with people on the site can be tricky as you are not in the US. But you shouldn’t tell them that you are in Nigeria and you shouldn’t tell them you are using an agent. Just negotiate as normally with the seller.


And make sure you don’t use your personal picture as your dp on these sites. You can use that of a random item.


IMEI: If you’re buying an Iphone, you need to know the update of the phone by requesting for the IMEI. We will talk about this later.
Now, lets go to the websites we listed above.

The moment you are able to spot a better deal, read the descriptions and check the pictures if it is in a good condition.

If you are okay with the features of the phone, then you reply the seller.

So once the seller respond and you are able to sort things out with him, you send his details to your agent in the state

HOW TO SHOP

Let's assume the item you are buying is in Inglewood, California

So if you seem to be interested in the item, next is to chat the seller up

Ensure you get the features of the phone and if it's in anyway faulty.

In most cases, they are not... These Americans don't use phones for long before getting new ones.

Ensure that you also get the network and if it's locked or unlocked

Communicating with the seller.

It's is necessary to go straight to the point in this regard. Send him a short note

"Can your S8 go for $200? I’m available to pick it up right away"

Ensure you get the features of the phone and if it's in anyway faulty.

In most cases, they are not... These Americans don't use phones for long before getting new ones.

Ensure that you also get the network and if it's locked or unlocked


If it’s an iPhone, make sure you request for an IMEI and go to imei cheker to confirm if the phone is on

https://iunlock er.net/check_imei.php.

Next thing is to connect with your agent... Once you are satisfied with the features of the phone.


You should by all means avoid deals that offer shipping or CashApp or PayPal.

You should only go for items that allow pick-up by the agent.




The next thing is you'll get your phone once the deal has been finalized.

Remember, the agents are Nigerians in the US ��, but they have their Nigerian details and office, so you don't have issues with payments as you pay into their Naira account

NOW LETS BEGIN WITH SHIPPING AND PICKUP

Once the deal is a success, your item will be shipped to Nigeria. If not, you will get a refund. Trust me, you are safe with the agents listed above.

But you will be charged for the fuel money, even if the deal did not go through. So it’s important you confirm everything with the seller before sending details to the agent.

If successful, shipping to Nigeria takes 5-7 days.

The agents have Lagos offices, so you will be notified once the item gets to Nigeria. If you are not in Lagos, they can waybill it to you anywhere in Nigeria, at an extra cost of course.

But before buying any phone, always check if it will be a good deal. Know the cost of unlocking which is usually averagely N3000.

Let’s say the phone is $150, the cost of shipping to Nigeria is usually $20 and the agent might charge you $15 for fuel and the cost of unlocking which is N3000.

The name and model of the item you want to order

Agreed price

The name in your profile

The public address the seller gave you

Carrier of the phone and if it’s unlocked or not

Imei of the phone if it’s an iPhone

Link of the Deal.

The agent will inform you if the distance is close-by and if there is a red flag in the deal before asking you to make payment..

It is important to always buy high end products like iPhones (7 and above), Samsung (S8 and above), Mac Books

Avoid phones like Oneplus, Huawei, ZTE, LG, Google Pixel.

Its hard to get them sold in 9ja because they are not reigning like that.

Importing from the USA is a lucrative deal if you have the time to explore the different sites.

As I mentioned, your agents are very important in the deal as they serve as middle men between you and the seller.

They are also responsible for detecting a good deal and rejecting if they see a red flag. You get a refund if they detect anomaly in the item.

To get the contact of the agents and how to get the best deals on these sites.
