One must not personally go to factories in china to get cheaper prices for FCL Orders. That can be also done online with the help of a chinese inspection agent and also for mini importation, using 3rd party shipping agents reduces cost too |

Chukzyfcb: We are all saying the same thing, it is like that in textile because it is fashion,and I believe you're talking about new fashion, if the fashion has been in the market for some time,can you compit with ship guys?.When new item enters market it will be by air but as time progresses it will be by sea.We don't know what the op bought. |

Obynolee:Yes, I'm talking of fashion. New fabrics are always coming out. So if you use air to ship,, you will still make profit! Your post was only pointing out the cons of using air form of delivery. I had to clear the air & put some advantages, so people wouldn't be discouraged from using such means! Op, just needs to do enough research before buying & selling an Item. Its very obvious he didn't research well & set up a Good plan before Importing. |

Hardship May Bite Harder In 2016 President Buhari is obviously aware that hardship is going to bite harder in 2016 that's why he increased the cost of feeding the president in the budget. What we need now is prayer because tomorrow the first working day of the year, businesses may roll out new policies and this may further make things difficult for Nigerians. Even currently in the country, many multinational companies that obviously controls Nigeria's economy have not rolled out new policies yet cost of foodstuffs, transport and other basic human needs have increased. I was almost insulted in the market yesterday when I decided to do the woman style by moving from one trader to another negotiating price of foodstuffs. Tin tomatoes that I do buy at 120 is now 180, fish of 200 is now 350, where I do go with 50, 100, 500 is now 80, 200 and 700 respectively. For those of us who don't have electrical power supply, who have find economic succour in solar lamb that appears more economical, one of the solar companies had few months ago increased the cost of their products due to the federal government new stand on importation. The product that do sell at about 4500 is now 8000. Please 2016 is not about Buhari or Jonathan, PDP or APC rather it's all about Nigeria and you! Therefore, all professionals most especially those from the social sciences must come out once and for all to engineer this society for good. God bless you all brothers and sisters. Happy New Year!

Obynolee: so you actually do think that there is a "secret" formula to success?!?!?!?!?! BWAAAAAAAAH, very funny! telling someone where they can get bulk items in China is NOT a secret, far from it, as this info is all over the internet for all to see. sadly, in any businesses (whether big or small) you have to use your brain at all times and work towards improving the business. so, if having a partner can help your business with A) sharing the cost of shipping and B) lower the cost of that said bulk product, then why shouldnt you tell people where you get your products (and possibly have a partnership with them)? there is nothing "natural" (or rewarding) about not wanting to tell someone where they can get a product in bulk, while YOU dont sell in bulk. it makes absolutely NO sense! 3 Likes |

According to your statement; you are buying from the wholesaler not from the manufacturer, those people in Lagos are buy directly from the manufacturer. No manufacturer will ever sell product of 1-10 quantity to you, any manufacturer that told that mean he is a retailer not even wholesaler. If you want to buy from manufacturer then you have to buy at least 500 quantity of their product. So do not compare Lagos market to China market, even US believe that China market is the cheapest market. If you want to buy below 10 quantities, i advice you to buy it in Lagos or else you will be at lost, and even buying it in Nigeria will be more profitable because you will access it by yourself. For more information. Just whatsapp me on +2348036056564 or tweet me on @aniseamos |

Re: Is Importing From China Better Than Buying From Lagos? by ewizard1: 11:59pm On Jan 03, 2016 |
IMO, i think the reason why buying from china would be costlier than here is; you are buying a very low quantity when someone already imported tonnes of it to sell at a lower price. |
