Now, how can i know the price diffrence from that of China so that i can compare it with our own nigerian price, to know if the China is worth going.
There are some belt we buy: N550, 450, 350, 250 while the least is 120. The one of 550, the least we sell it here (in Kano) is N1000 while we sell the least at 300.

Lols. You are not funding escrow account, escrow is just the middle man between you and your seller, you pay, escrow receive your money, order the seller to ship, release the money when you received your order and you are 100% satisfied with it.

Get gt bank master card. You can pay with it.

All this faults is from Nigerian customs and greatly on importers. China produce quality and inferior goods. Your money depend on what you will buy. When a Chinese seller sell tabs for $100, Nigerian importer will say they can only pay $50. The Chinese importer will tell them he can produce nearest quality for $40 if he can get more quantity, the mumu too go rush am and he also knew its inferior.

My friend chrisvicmall is one of d expensive sites to import goods. But can try alibaba for small and for trial.

However, I am refering to importation as a business man or woman, I know much about china major cities and what you can buy and ship direct to lagos or Kano.

Just as Mayorall.rightly said, you don't have any business with customs once chrisvicmall.is your shipping agent.

All you need to exercise with chrisvicmall is patience. Know when to contact them (preferably 2am-12pm) this is because China is 7 hours ahead of us.

You can also send them mails. This can be done through their contact form on their site.

All what you have listed above can be gotten from China. But from a personal point of view, I won't advise you to buy phones or laptops from China unless you have100% assurance from the supplier that they are original.

Personally, I have no experience about dubai but you can get quality products from China also once you know how to determine genuine suppliers. There are thousands of suppliers on alibaba dot com. You can get quality and cheap products from the site because you're dealing directly with the manufacturers.

About visiting China yourself, if you are financially bouyant to do so, you can go ahead.

You can use chrisvicmall as your shipping agent. I've used them before and they are OK. Visit their site: chrisvicmall dot com for more info. Send them mails on info@chrisvicmall.com to ask ur questions

lt is possible but you need invitation letter from the company. The problem with getting invitation letter is your company might be in a city or town not authorized to issue invitation letter to foreigners. Even when they are authorized to issue visa, the company will know you well before they do that and also not all companies has the right to do that.

That is why at the end, agents remain the better option but more expensive

What are the best websites for mini importation?
Re: Ask Me Anything On Importation Of Goods From China by Nobody: 3:51am On Dec 16, 2013
Hi! @OP, I placed an order last week on Dhgate, I got the dispatched notification on Friday, am using DHL as my courier service, am a little bit concerned right now, because the tracking number is not working, my question is am I just being naive? Does it take that long before shipping information is updated on their website? I am buying the item as a Christmas gift so timing is of uttermost priority, do weekend counts as working days for courier services? Or the official working day is Mon-Fri? Thanks.

owang: @Fatai2, I have burnt my fingers wth Alibaba traders & even the GTB charges on T/T is too much for me. Pls can U let me know other cheaper means of payment & give me information on cheaper shipment for small scale trader.

Thanks.

I think the cheapest and most reliable way to buy from china is to use this Nigerian company that is domiciled in the heart of China.
They know cheaper means of verification of goods, shipping, and you get to pay to their bank account in Nigeria!

The company is[b] Notusng Limited[/b]. [url=Www.notusng.com]Www.notusng.com[/url]

Thank me later.

Gud luck!

You mean to import dangerous terribly substandard products into Nigeria?

When I traveled home to Nigeria, someone stole my phone and laptop chargers I left in the hotel room (the thief probably knew the chargers were of superb). Luckily I went out with both the phone and laptop, and I had no bag or other valuables in the room.

I went to several electronics shops and was very disappointment to discover they all had fake products on their shelves! I saw inferior replicas of my chargers and weighed less than a feather. As I'm used to using good quality products in Europe, I can recognize fakes very easily. I had to beg a friend who was coming home in two days time from Europe, to purchase those chargers for me from there. I held my gadgets tight throughout my stay. Very bad experience!

I even revisited one of the shops I visited earlier, to show them what quality chargers look like, and the shop owner was shocked.

Dubious Nigerians are busy flooding the country with very fake and inferior goods and the immensely corrupt political jobbers we have in this inept Government watch and do nothing!
