If the wholesale companys in china use DHL, UPS or FEDEX can they help with importing to the UK if I pay them, to make it easyer for me because house bound.

I've imported some good from China, and I used EMS as the courier. The goods took about 7 days to arrive at my doorstep, and I was impressed with the service. I think you'll find EMS to be the Cheapest courier too.

I have one problem and it seems to be a big one. I have imported 2 Ipod 80gb and sold on ebay and I made abit of profit and customers were happy.

Now I know quantity is the key to making a living, the problem being if I order 50 Ipods per week the chances are I am going to get hit hard with Import TAX in UK am I right ??


Now is there anyway at all to get around this problem on bigger orders of 10 per day ?

And anyone know of a Dropshipper who can except 50 orders per week and where I can make at least £5 per unit on Ipods or Xbox 360 Pal spec on Ebay?

Any Help appreciated
