Am planning to venture into importation of cheap hair attachments i can sell fast dis decemba wit gud profit bt cnt find 1 in aliexpress or alibaba. My prospectiv buyers nw tink am nt serious due 2 my delay in gettin d goods
Pls i need help wit links n recommendations. My email: taekorsond1@gmail.com

when it comes to hair you need to be carefull and search for not just cheap but quality people will pay well for quality so take time do your research and then get a few samples first before you venture into it fully

2sexi:
OP, so basically, you take pictures and print them out... And start showing people?

Do you go to shops around your area or you deal with ONLY individual?

i do not print them out i have catalogues on my tab and laptop so i just show people or i write proposals to companies ,churches and the rest to supply them items they need.

THE SECRET ON IMPORTATION
Guess what? There is no secret .its just information ,really there is no big deal or rocket science knowledge to begin your own importation business with little or no capital its just common sense on what I call the 4Ws and 1H

1. Where to get your items from
2. When you get them
3. What you get.
4. Whom you are getting them for
5. How you get them,how you market them,how you make your profit
Once you can answer this questions you are good to go so now the big question is how do I get started .relax and lets take this one after the order

WHERE DO I GET MY ITEMS FROM
Well this really depends on you its your choice really but I will show you 4 uniques sources that I use
Ild rather you use the ones tested and trusted to get maximum results however you are not limited you can test new waters.
The site I advice to use as a beginer is a site they call

ALIEXPRESS.com
Why do I use them? They are cheap although not the cheapest and they sell in small amounts I can get a single piece of an item
Just log on to www.aliexpress.com and get into a new world of buying and shopping, well you might say I’ve heard of this before it’s the same as konga and jumia and all of that let me prove to you that’s not true lets survey this single item
a curren watch this watch goes on aliexpress for about 5usd however on nigerian sites its over 3500

other sites are dh gate
alibaba.com when dealing on a large scale its alot cheaper but you also need to be careful as there are many people ready to use your ignorance against you, ild advice you use this although it takes patience and research to be an experienced importer
1688( chinese site you would need google translate to decode somethings on the site)

when you get your items
this depends on you you can either use the free shipping method that last from 15 to 30 daysor you pay for them to send it through a faster means like dhl or fedex however expensive or you could use shipping agents who would get them across to you either through express or normal which could take up to 10 days attimes.so the choice is yours

what you get
a survey is neccesary, what i do is rather simple i look for a need and bring a good or product to solve that need ,items like jewelries,shoes bags ,tablets ,powerbanks are all good ideas to start with however broaden your horizon and look around then choose what would be wise to bring especialy during festive seasons ild give ideas on hotselling items someother time

who you are getting them for
please ensure when you start try to reduce credit buyers ,those who buy your goods are those who see your goods either before you bring them or after youve brought them make use of social media and word of mouth as a beginner to sell you items

How you get them,how you market them,how you make your profit
when the goods are sent via free shipping the address you put on your profile when you register the goods will be sent to the nearest post office or if you use an agent they will arrive the airport then you would use another logistics company to transfer them to your current location so the choice is yours, marketting has been made easy by sites like kaymu and olx maximise the use of this sites ive sold items all over nigeria with this sites,theres always a market to buy qulaity and cheap neccesary items ,and finally on profit making ensure you give qulaity goods as this will build your reputation and dont intend to become a milloniare overnite make reasonable profits to pay urself and keep the bussines running


as for starting without capital this is what i did
i had no capital but i had a laptop all i did was i got some pictures of the items and began to show potential buyers on all my networks ,watsapp,facebook,twitter and personal contact
i was amazed at how much people in the north needed these items and soon they began to order i told them it would take two weeks and they would have to pay over 50 percent and when the items arrive they would balance they all obliged and that's how i got started that month i git over 200000 naira worth of deals and the story gets better so whatever it is just start its not what you have that limits you its what you have but don't know how to use.

below is a copy of the curren watch
also a tab i got a while ago for about 10k and sold for 16k
also these watches i got for 1500 and sold for 2500-3k depending on the person buying
so what are you waiting for ? it time to practice remember in all experience is still the best teacher .of course this is just a surface summary but when you get the basics the rest is basic .

Ganjafama:
once your goods get to nigeria (thru shipping companies) how do you get the info? Also, like me who is based in warri how do I get it down home? Thanks

WHEN the goods get to Nigeria the shipping company will call you then you can now use a different logistics company to send it to your current location or you arrange with the shipping company to send it down for you at a fee

Ganjafama:
Which do you advise : a shipping agent or parcel services like dhl, ems and ups?

well it depends ive used all means of transporting when i started i used shipping companies because they were relatively cheaper compared to dhl and fed ex plus they gave me what i wanted,ive gone on to use different parcel services fedex is on the high side as well as dhl ,and there are limitations to what they can ship ,however when using an agent first they have to be trust worthy and must have been successfully used by others,ive also used free shipping which came in about a week ,it all depends on your power of negotiation ,but generally i rather use shipping agents as i already have a rapour with them and sometimes they can serve as third parties to pay for some items procured on alibaba.so the choice is your but i would use shipping agents.

Who imports for you... I got one.. But their service is so slow

well you can check this link
https://www.nairaland.com/1556530/good-newly-found-shipping-agent
there are several agents you can use but i use nonikings and st patricks logistics ive had a good working relationship with them although noni might be slow to answer attimes but they are okay though

For years I had searched for the perfect opportunity to increase my financial cash flow, I did all kinds of jobs from working in a school cafeteria to a pure water factory and many more but they all paid peanuts, I had no source of income and some days ild go on without any food but our usual Garry and salt I was ALWAYS BROKE I know some of you have been there, I was looking for an idea that would not cost me too much because I didn’t even have the too little to invest ,I searched and searched and came across different investment opportunities which I ventured into all to no avail, when I was at the brink of giving up I came across an idea to venture into IMPORTATION ,I had always felt it was for the mega business men and women who had access to huge bank loans to import containers of goods but when I went into deep research I had found the secret to increasing my cash flow ,there are many other methods I found but on this post ild be focusing on IMPORTATION,
You are only broke because you don’t have access to information to make you financially stable
I am not promising a get rich quick deal, or that you will become the next billgates or mark zuckerberg but im telling you if you practice what I teach you where ever you are in Nigeria or Ghana or anywhere you will maximize opportunities to generate a constant flow of income
People will always need things and you can be the person who supplies them constantly, there is no limit to what you can supply form branded company items, to tablets ,ladies accessories watches, bags shoes and all, one of the first things I imported was a particular watch ild show you , I got for just #1500 and people were willing to pay #3500 imagine that huge profit margin I brought just 5 pieces for #7500 and sold them for #3000 each they finished before they even arrived I made #7500 ild show you product,on another watch I made about #15000

These are some pictures of some items I got

Some nice leopard shoe I got for #900 and sold for #2500
watches I got for 1500 and sold for 3000k people loved this ones
A complete makeup kit I sold #6500 #in highdemand
a sample also of my first shipment is shown


now to how i got started i really needed to start i had no capital but i had a laptop all i did was i got some pictures of the items and began to show potential buyers on all my networks ,watsapp,facebook,twitter and personal contact
i was amazed at how much people in the north needed these items and soon they began to order i told them it would take two weeks and they would have to pay over 50 percent and when the items arrive they would balance they all obliged and that's how i got started that month i git over 200000 naira worth of deals and the story gets better so whatever it is just start its not what you have that limits you its what you have but don't know how to use.

pls the fee you are charging is it from lagos to my state i really dont understand what the fee for express is all about
