For the most parts these suppliers are located in China and other Asian countries though there are a few sellers in United States as well.
The goal of sourcing products through Alibaba is to either
(1) Sell the products on your own website or on eBay, Amazon.
(2) Create a private label and sell products under your own brand
(3) Get manufacturing for a unique products in China.
Whatever the reason, Alibaba is the best way to start your own business. This mini-series will give you a step by step guide on how to do it.

When the products get sent to you, how do you ship out the orders? UPS,FedEx? Do I have to bring to a post office?

Ecommerce MVP 5 yıl önce

USPS is cheap but slow. Fedex and UPS are expensive but fast. If you ship a lot, you can negotiate prices with all 3

hi, I like your videos. Thanks for sharing. About your curse, I can't find enough information on your "Alibaba Online Course" to make me to decide right away. So far I like your videos, BUT, is there a refund offer if I don't like it? Can I watch the videos using my favorite software? (which ones are very common for many years), or I will be forced to use the ones I don't like/want to use? Thanks

Ecommerce MVP 5 yıl önce

The course is 100% refundable if you're not satisfied. You can watch on any device so long as you can stream videos.

Exactly the kind of info im looking for ,thank you very much. Now i just need to decide if i want to sale different types of product or hone in on only one kind. Does anyone have any suggestions on which product sales out front and can get the most percent?

Ecommerce MVP 6 yıl önce

Great info here! I juts have a question... Where you are working with Private Labelling, you dont have to register that Brand some how before get the supplier work on your product?

Ecommerce MVP 6 yıl önce

if you want to protect your brand then you can register it but you don't HAVE to do it. As far as the supplier is concerned they don't care.. they just want to be paid

Thanks a lot for the video. It was very informative. I have a question. How can I be the middle man without ever seeing the product. Where someone orders a product of my website and it goes to me then I make the official order then the product gets shipped to customer without me seeing the product.

Ecommerce MVP 6 yıl önce

What you're looking for is dropshipping. Customer comes to your site, orders, you collect payment, pay your supplier and they ship it to your customer. It can be done and many people do it, BUT you need to trust your supplier. I would recommend avoiding drop shipping until you've worked with your supplier for a few months and can trust their quality

Warfield Alexandre 6 yıl önce

eCommerce MVP Do you know any company in the US that does the same thing as Alibaba?

Ecommerce MVP 6 yıl önce

There are tons. Just need to find them. Doba is popular but I wouldn't recommend them. Abetterlemondestand.com has a list they sell, check that

Also i was wondering if I have to deal with the customs????... let's say that I order 200 pcs of whatever from any suppliers in China using Alibaba to any place in USA (Amazon Warehouse).... Who have to deal with the customs process??

Ecommerce MVP 6 yıl önce

Best to use DHL then and they'll handle customs. They might send you the bill after to collect duties.

Marcial Heredia 6 yıl önce

Thanks! I really appreciate... ;)

Ecommerce MVP 6 yıl önce

My pleasure

Albert Blanco 6 yıl önce

How much (approximately) would the duties cost?

HgRoller 6 yıl önce

Depends on the country and how corrupt the customs official is. Some countries, even the UK can charge 100% duty and tax.

Rac Hid 2 yıl önce

let me explain better when you compare Alibaba with Amazon. Amazone is an American B2C e-commerce transaction but, Alibaba is a Chinese B2B.

When I contact suppliers to chat, I don't get a response. Why is that?

Ecommerce MVP 6 yıl önce

Maybe you're chatting when they're sleeping. Best to email
