    Great post, thanks.

    Did not really consider negotiation but anything is worth trying.

    Interesting idea. I would never have considered it before, but from now on I will give it a go.

    Wire transfers are probably the most unsafe payment method out there. I would only use this payment method for trusted sellers. Scammers love this payment method!

    I'm in New Zealand and i have good contact in China who provides efficient EMS service with 20%-40% off of the official EMS price. Currently the official EMS shipping cost from CHN to AUS is 210 Chinese yuan per kilo and 55 yuan for additional 500g.

    please check out the price from ems official website.

    Our discounted EMS price also apply to other countries as well, such as USA, Japan, New Zealand etc. And we may provide ocean shipping. Price is negotiable

    If you are interested, you can email me to link hidden cheers.

    Never buy stuff from liquidation. I won two auctions from liquidation two months ago. One of the auction,the seller (Onlinereturns) claims that the package includes 5 copies of windows XP professional Upgrade and 6 copies of Windows XP home edition. But I only received 9 CD and 2 empty boxes with no operating system CD. In another auction, I supposed to receive 7 copies of Windows XP FULL RETAIL VERISON, but it showed up 3 copies of Windows XP Full Retail Version and 4 upgrade. I suffered the huge economic lost. I reported the dispute regarding two auctions immediately, but no response so far.I would never buy staff from the liquidation. it sucks.

    Has any one dealt with MK Enterprise?
    I live in Australia and am looking for dropshipping only with trusted companies. I have been looking around forums, and in some they are saying this company is alleged to be scammers. I am confused as some are saying they are legit.

    I am interested in game consoles, branded kids toys. I am still quite new to this.

    Hi All!
    I am currently in discussions with a Chinese company called bestdeals2U, does anyone know this company and whether or not they have a good reputation? I am in Australia and am looking for good dropship companies in order to supply our ever increasing eBay market.
    Any info would be good.

    Thanks!

    Just a bit more on this company, they offer free shipping on orders of 5 or more items (these don't have to be going to the same address) they dropship and supply tracking numbers for the packages. The only down side of this company is they only accept Western Union payments.

    Western Union payments are always a sign of caution, you run the real risk of being scammed.
    Never pay via Western Union, unless you have dealt with the company before and have that established trust!!!

    210 Yuan a kilo? I was in China in May, and the 100 Yuan = $18NZD then. so that's a steep charge. wow.

    How funny I thought. I had to use Western Union to pay for my salehoo account.
    Just comment on that hehehehehe

    About wire transfers - I had an e-bayer pay me through that and my money cleared my bank and I haven't shipped yet but I haven't heard anything back from the buyer (in Romania). I heard that balances simply 'disappear' if the transfer was not legit? Is that possible? I already moved it from my 'temporary' saving account to PAYPAL and it went through.....I haven't heard from him for 2 weeks (I raised the shipping cost).....

    weird!

    THanks

    Hi,

    We found landed costs of products in the UK to be around 1.7x cost, and this pretty much balanced for all of us in the USA, South Africa, etc....

    My suggestion...Never use Western Union, Moneygram, or T/T!!!! Only a third-party escrow (Paypal) or credit/debit cards....It just gives you more protection!!!

    Here's a rough idea on what shipping cost charge.

    I purchased 1.3 tonnes of draw runners from Taiwan(pretty close to China) and it cost me $100USD to ship them over here. Took about 3-4 weeks to ship/ customs clear.

    Also had to pay for a customs broker since i had no idea about the process for customs and that cost about $600 ($400GST and $200 for them to do all their stuff)

    Hope that give an idea on the shipping cost
