China is indisputably the largest source of all our consumer electronics, producing more hi-tech products than any other country. Sellers know the power of being the one carrying new products, or even better are unique products. If you’re sourcing electronics direct from the source in China you will be ahead of the pack, and could even be the only person in your country selling certain models.

Steps

1. Choose a reliable worldwide courier for small or urgent shipments. Talk to forwarders in China or Hong Kong for assistance setting up larger shipments via air containers or sea freight.
2. Since many suppliers require large first orders in the range of thousands of items, and commitments to buy more, establish a relationship with a professional Chinese wholesaler.
   • An alternative is dropshipping. You can advertise the products you’ve found from Chinese suppliers, but only pay for them when you receive orders. The Chinese dropshipper then delivers straight to your customer. You keep the profit without the risk, and without the hassle of handling and packing goods.
3. Arrange a secure payment method that minimizes your risk, such as Paypal. Paypal offers total protection for buyers, and dealing with their approved online electronics wholesalers will give you extra peace of mind.

Tips

• You can rely on a Trading Company in China which can insure for you the supplier research, quality control and shipping of your goods (door to door).
