One big challenge is payment method which I have offered a lot of help for people buying with RMB since China is the biggest market at the moment.

The truth is that due to the exchange rate, things are generally more expensive on Alibaba and Express, Far cheaper on Taobao and 1688.
However, Tao and 1688 were created for locals to buy and sell to foreigners on Alibaba. But with help, you can still buy from there.

Not into importation biz, but poultry biz.
2yrs after av been into the farming.I lost almost 5000 birds due to ignorant. sad, I used a vacine(lasoteta) for the birds (layers) cos they just started droping, not knowing that they already have newcastle, they just start dieing. Chai, I cried. It almost got to a time that I refused to go to farm again. That same month I lost about 1700creates of egg in an accident while transporting it to a nearby town, It was a miserable month cos I felt like the world shold just end.

Be careful on this thread everyone as some people will post false claim in a bid to scam other people. If you read a post of someone here and you think he could help, no harm on reaching out for his help but if it involves you sending him your money perhaps for a purchase on your behalf. Research, investigate and verify the person before parting with your money. My fellow importers Sabi wetin I dey talk. All the very best to everyone

They are many approach to importation business though will can't negative the hike in dollar and souring for it , but as an importer you need to think out of the box . Over time I have learnt many means of payment solution , I do business with my US partner where standard is measure . If you are looking to buy bulk goods , auto and heavy equipment mostly in California or New Jersey even directly China . They is our service .

For relipca designer belts, bags, clothes go to dhgate.com, they are cheaper there
For designer items that cost more money, go to purse valley.cn, they sell grade AAAA replicas, but they are little expensive, for a Rolex watch that cost $16,000, you can buy it for $150 on purse valley.cn, Hermes bags are sold for $18,000 but you can buy it for $300 there and the best thing is that they come with original receipts from Rolex or any designer company, they come with the original box, even serial numbers and everything you can find on the real item

Am sorry to say, but i don't think that is possible as $200 will not get you a Triple A replica Clone.

However i say nothing.

I am advising the youths to go into small importation business during this time of recession. It will help them quit channeling all their energy on Blaming Buhari.
The truth is that Nigeria is in a mess. APC just don't want to be honest with the truth.

Yoi can create a free shop on Konga and Jumia, start with something as small as phone batteries.

A boy sent me 15k to buy few phone batteries for him in China, that was his starting capital. Because of his dedication to the small project, I had to leave office and go to the battery Market while it was raining.
Now he is sending 25k and he swore he did not add a kobo outside the initial 15k.

Because of his determination, I will ship his batteries from China for free until he gets to 100k.
So focus more on business section if you are still young, don't go wasting your time with Fashola and Dasuki craps, Ipob, Afonja hatreds, Nothing you say here changes anything if you are nobody.

Mr Connection or No connection, you can never take a replica Rolex watch to a Rolex Store in the US and sell it without them spotting its fake, except you took it to a fake rolex store.

And i still maintain my ground, am not buying it. $200 wont give you such a perfect triple A replica
