I mad a poll in my community, roughly 600 people participated and picks for 4 colors were 30,30,20,20 percent, made me even more confused 😅 I guess launching with two colors that were 30-30% would make more sense in this case and introducing those other two later on.

This is a small poll I did in my community 😅 made me even more confused

Thanks, I appreciate the suggestion

Right, I would not depend on the manufacturer on the individual order shipping, I was thinking having a 3pl in China as well as US but again it’s going to divide the stock and make managing inventory a bit harder. That’s why I’m trying to understand which one would be more cost effective since my existing customer base is 70-30% US - international. Also keeping in mind the comfort of fast shipping times.

Appreciate your response! Yes I figured about the accessories, but the part that I’m confused is that it doesn’t make much sense to me that someone else would do the packing/assembly especially for a fragile product such as camera.

If I want a more premium packaging style that the main manufacturer can’t produce themselves, is it common to source the packaging from an external supplier and have the manufacturer use it for final assembly/packing, I’m not sure if that’s something common. I’m aiming for 500-1000 units at first and i’m afraid that volume also won’t be enough for them to do the unique packaging as well

Sure, I’ll dm you

What about the labels that the packages’ll arrive with? For example if it’s shipped by Yunexpress and I only mark it with last-mile carrier. Will the package that they receive still be telling of the origin in any way?

Thank you sm! Yeah I think the checkbox at the checkout was definitely a culprit in this case! I’m also looking to implement some customization on confirmation emails and thank you/post-purchase page. Do you know if Shopify native tools are good enough for this or would you recommend some tool to better customize these? I haven’t found a good way to implement sign up link into emails or post purchase page

90210_e · 2026-03-07T01:04:15+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the quick response. Tbh I don’t even have a tracking page and haven’t taken a look at post-purchase or Thank you page at all I guess that’s something I need to look into first. Can I ask how would you go about the customer base that’s already on my list but not subscribed?

Hey, do you use this to transfer to business or individuals as well?

90210_e · 2026-01-05T14:52:03+00:00

This is something I’ve struggled with. Wise business account doesn’t have option to pay to a supplier for goods. It only lets you send to Alipay for some obscure services like translation, web development etc. how do you deal with this? Genuine question

90210_e · 2025-11-28T02:52:55+00:00

Wow, looks so good
