I have found a site that I have made a purchase from recently which I was very happy with who ship to New Zealand

Link hidden: Login to view

They sell all the clothing I am looking for, however they are always out of stock and say they are waiting for containers to come from China. I want to know who that supplier is in China so I can deal with them directly if I can.

Can anyone help? Email me on Link hidden: Login to view

Thanks
Tracey

With these types of cartoon characters, it would be wise to make sure your supplier has the right to use the images which appear on the clothing. I have seen similar items get pulled from eBay listings because the owners of the images have complained to eBay about infringement of their intellectual property rights. Many of the manufactures in China don't actually own the rights to the images they are printing on the merchandise. Also it's not the manufacturer who gets stung at customs, it' s the importer who will have their items confiscated and in some instances destroyed without any compensation. Having said this, I have no idea of course if your current supplier owns any of the rights to these images. Many sellers on eBay and at flea markets will get away with selling this stuff for a long time but it will catch up with you eventually if you are not absulutely sure you are purchasing from a supplier who is licensed to use these images.


Difficult I can do right away. Impossible takes a little longer

Of course, if you have a decent amount of working capital and you are used to using Chinese manufacturers, you can always try alibaba for the type of things you are looking for. Link hidden: Login to view
Remember, though, do your homework and check and check and check background before purchasing in large amounts. And please don't think you can hide unlicensed merchandise on Trademe because this sort of thing is also getting pulled left right and centre on that site also.
