Thank you very much, I asked to pay directly into their china account by my agent, they accepted. I hope that is okay too? And please can I have your contact whatsapp or bbm please I'll so much appreciate.

You can add me on watsup 08124702442. Now to ur question which site are u buying from. There are different skills in buying from Aliexpress and alibaba that u need to know.
If u are buying from aliexpress check this parameters. What are the feedback of buyers regarding the seller.
If it is positive rating + secure payment + gold seller u are good to go.

nice response, thumb up for you. like how many days will your goods reach you here in Nigeria? also what may likely be the expected cost of shipping from the various agents available? again, if you are buying In bulk, does cost count for each of the items or for the whole container? thanks.

Samplanner, your goods reaching is subject to the seller. If the seller ship early within three days you should have your goods. Expected cost is subject to variation in exchange rate. But charges from them is mostly likely $8.5/kg x fx rate x kg will give u what you are suppose to pay. Have not imported through container before i may not be able to give you precise answer on that.
I hope my response answer your questions.

seeing this is really a motivation for us all but I would like to chip in something,I think we as importers need to find a niche that works for us and build on that, not that because A is buying watches and he says a made a million means u should buy watches too. study your environment and decide wat will break the market.
all the best guys.....

You are right jaydee87. Different environment. Requires different things. You just need to understand your market first before u import. The need of student is different from the need of workers, schools, churches, mosques, politicians women, men, babies, etc there are so many needs that u even get confuse on what to import. Let us identify our target market first before importing. We should also leverage on e-commerce like jumia, konga, dealdey, kaymu,olx, fb,nl etc

May d good Lord continue to strenghten u.

You send your supplier or seller cvm detail(address and phone contacts/mail) notify cvm of the expected goods. I think this should help

Ask your self these questions and revert.

There is no free lunch anywhere. Free shipping has side effect. Your product might get loss or damage. Best is to use clearing agent. Choose from those ones have recommended at the start of this thread.

Ray, cvm can buy and make payment for you.
You can also pay your supplier thru escrow/secure payment which is more secure while ur supplier ship to ur agent.
Pls note that not all supplier accept escrow.
