Importing using Alibaba

[Mr Overheads]

Right found some products I want to buy in bulk from Alibaba. However it's a minefield of how to get to/from ports/airports etc.

Can someone who's used it before to import goods please talk me through it on the phone tomorrow in return for a virtual pint (or maybe some cost tips)?

Hello mate,

I work in global forwarding (air & ocean freight) and what you are wanting to do is easy. Feel free to drop me a message with the details and i'll see how I can help.

Look into using Aliexpress.

Seems to be based on Alibaba but gives you the simple option of click to purchase!

Aliexpress is only good for dropshipping and where your customer doesn't mind waiting for 3 weeks.
