Dear needinfo,
In response to your question, I will suggest that you should try non-king which have tried tested and trusted. It is better they ship to your agent in china like i always do while your agent ship down here. Their charges is $8.5-$9 depending on what you are bringing in.
Then clearing is N480. You can chat with Judy to give you details of their price on +13434369377...Judy.
1688 is a difficult site to shop if you can't go through the rudiment of translating what you have on the site. I will suggest you stick to their English site like alibaba, aliexpress, dhgate and many others.

I once bought a watch from aliexpress ,when it came in .it was shiny and looking good but honestly it didn't take long before its started peeling off and looking old....is there any seller whose product is of quality material and which site can I get oure white t-shirts to buy(shirts like lux )..thank you

Have you tried chrisvicmall please? if yes, can you enlighten me on how to use them to buy and ship my stuff direct to my door step. I need an agent that can handle the buying and express shipping at a cheap rate for me. Thank you.

Pls aw do i search for cheap products

I recently discovered a manufacturer of boys'shirts in the Philippines and i am in touch with him and plan to buy some shirts from him. The problem is bringing it down to Nigeria.He gave me the bill of a courier service company at N5,000 per Kg. I know it will be much cheaper using an agent. Please do you know or have contacts of any agents in the Philippines? Very, very urgent please.

Searching for cheap product is base on your negotiating power with the seller. Please visit alibaba for cheap product.

I don't do Philippines for my importation neither do I have agent there but then pls do ur background check very well before you commit ur hardearn money. However, what you can get in philistines can also be gotten in china.

Do u know that you can start your importation with just 20k. Look inward look around things are happening. Your own is to ask, our own is to answer.

Funny enough most of my importation is from alibaba.
1. Goldselllers will rarely dupe u.
2. Request for secure payment as ur means of payment.
3. Tell them if they can accept cash on delivery to ur agent.

I need feedback from you guys to know if am actually making any impact.

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.

To be honest, you are trying, I only wish Nairaland got a push notification so one would be notified immediately of stuff.
