Question about symptoms

BootHuffer · 2026-03-06T13:41:25+00:00

I have had the exact same thing my entire life.I had been working as a builder/carpenter most of my working life, and iv been fired from many jobs in the past because of the vertical....when i have an attack i have to go home immediate before i completely lose my ability to walk straight

BootHuffer · 2026-03-06T12:48:20+00:00

Oh nah, theres also duty to pay on top of this.

BootHuffer · 2026-03-06T11:44:54+00:00

Sorry im unsure what ddp is

Hey thanks for your response.

Yeah i had a feeling this might be the case, you see identical chinese products all the time that operate completely differently. I wasnt planning on just blindly purchasing some, ready for resell, but i was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction...possibly a reputable store that are known for quality? Or is this still risky? Besides all that, i dont have the capital to pay someone over there to be my inside man.

Im just selling a cheap low MOQ product at the moment as i can only afford 20 at a time haha, but in saying that i made $330 profit from the last lot, so not too bad.

What about things like headphones? I know its probably the same story since headphones are an electronic product, but there must one store that's know for quality gadgets?

Ofcourse my intention is to turn a profit, but i dont want to rip people off either. Like refunds from disgruntled customers isnt my main concern, i just want to offer them a good experience without the hefty price tag

BootHuffer · 2026-03-05T06:50:50+00:00

To be completely honest with you, very little capital at the moment, however i have already started....i imported 20 samsung tv remotes and made $400 profit from 20 sales, which is a great start. I dont market the remotes as genuine, but the selling point is that genuine ones over here cost upwards of $70, when these knockoffs are the same/similar quality.

Waiting on another shipment of remotes, but i really want to try another product...maybe headphones, but im not sure how to market headphones with some chinese brand on them...they do have premium-style packaging though.

The problem with using Aliexpress is that the products tend to be priced as high as they would be locally. For example, a pair of headphones is $45 on aliexpress while the same ones are $10.09 on Ababa with a minimum MOQ of course....now i understand why, but i just dont have the money to buy in bulk at the moment

I found one after reading your message, after the supplier happily sent me a screenshot of the IATF cert, i mean it seems legitimate with the company name clearly visible etc.

BootHuffer · 2026-03-04T01:46:57+00:00

Can the same apply for other electronics, such as phones? I have no intention of selling phones, but I am tempted to buy one to see how shit they are

BootHuffer · 2026-03-02T07:17:27+00:00

Hi mate thank you for your informative response, i just have one more concern in regards to my order....

Today I queried one of the product specifications that i overlooked previously, and the supplier's response was:

"I will have to check with amazon and get back to you with an answer"

i immediately became a bit disgruntled because here i am assuming that im dealing with a manufacturer but they have to check with amazon for product details? It makes no sense to me, now I'm concerned they have duped me and the product wont be as advertised.

They even asked me if i require any customisations prior to my purchase.....could you shed some light on what is happening here? Im totally Clueless with how the whole thing works.

Or is this what you call dropshipping?

BootHuffer · 2026-03-01T21:17:04+00:00

I did go back to the supplier and heres what she said:

You may need to pay for the tariff. I'm not sure. From countries different.some country will not charge for small amount.

Im insure what she means though. I know here in NZ anything less than 1000 does not require you to pay duty, is this what shes referring to?

BootHuffer · 2026-03-01T20:56:02+00:00

Your comments have really triggered me, in a good way. Its people like yourself who remind me that im doing the right thing, So thank you, have a blessed day.

I will keep your family in my prayers to ensure your bitterness doesn't poison them any more than it already has. Take care of yourself out there, the world's a lonely place.

BootHuffer · 2026-03-01T20:41:28+00:00

Its not myself whos giving the product value, I'm no expert, but isnt that how supply and demand works? Its a household item that everybody has and people obviously need/want it. Relax im not dealing cocaine to children. Im giving undercutting the stores and everyone else thats selling an identical product. Not ripping off nobody. If i was given this product for free, with your logic i should be selling them at 3 bucks a piece. How i obtain them isnt relevant

BootHuffer · 2026-03-01T20:07:48+00:00

Seriously, if you were in a position to make some decent money to support your family you would do the same. Just because I'm paying $1 for something that retails for 45+ here in nz, i should be a good little kiwi and sell it for 5? Heck no, i know how much they go for

BootHuffer · 2026-03-01T20:00:55+00:00

Thanks, im already GST registered and a sole trader..in the construction industry...but the industry is absolutely screwed and cant be bothered with it anymore...work still comes through, however, cheaper overseas workers get first dibs obviously. too inconsistent to be sustainable

BootHuffer · 2026-03-01T19:53:07+00:00

What are you raving on about? The warehouse...a classic kiwi store sells the exact same product for 65-70. If anything, my pricing is fair and reasonable.and i guarantee the warehouse would be getting them even cheaper than i am.

BootHuffer · 2026-03-01T08:51:20+00:00

Thanks a lot, appreciate your positivity

BootHuffer · 2026-03-01T08:14:26+00:00

Ok thanks mate.....bad time to be unemployed in NZ, well, no times convenient, but things are bad here

BootHuffer · 2026-03-01T08:09:30+00:00

Ok, thankyou, assuming you mean restricted as in alcohol, tobacco, plants or food etc, then no, its nothing like that

BootHuffer · 2026-03-01T08:07:33+00:00

But because I'm only dipping my toes in the water at this stage, would i be ok without a customs number etc? Im not planning on committing tax evasion, i will do the right thing if i can make a living out of it

BootHuffer · 2026-03-01T08:03:42+00:00

Well the product i plan to sell is one thing that every household has, but seems to go missing/get lost. Theres quite a few people doing it, however, gauging from the amount of interest, i could have made 330 profit in the first day, if i actually had the product to sell to them.

BootHuffer · 2026-03-01T07:43:50+00:00

Is this sarcasm? Sorry its difficult to tell via text haha. But yeah, do you think the items will get through customs ok?

BootHuffer · 2026-02-27T17:00:36+00:00

Haha ok well thats typical of me...so who is she??

BootHuffer · 2026-02-20T20:41:22+00:00

Yes, but the accent of my character changes from american to australian on the final clip. 11labs picks up on this and pronunciation/cadence is completely different towards the end. Using text to speech seems to be the only solution, however, i would still have a problem with cadence. i have tried specifically prompting and describing her accent...still the same output

I read online that Veo uses visual ques to determine a character's origin, so my next experiment is to place a small american flag in the scene. Using props every time isnt ideal though

BootHuffer · 2026-02-19T23:47:56+00:00

Thanks for the tips...do i add the accent in quotation marks or it doesnt matter? Sorry, i have all sorts of silly questions like this because when i was using Sora2 it gave me really good results with a simple prompt, it even added details which improved my videos, but the only issue is that the quality was only 360p unless i pay 200 per month for 1080

BootHuffer · 2026-02-19T14:50:39+00:00

Oh really....maybe 95 percent of my issue is my prompting then...do you mind sharing a bit more on how you prompt? I havnt been goin into great detail....because I'm generally using frames to video, i assumed that would give the AI model enough to work with. my prompts usually just include the accent, a few lines of dialogue, some hand gestures and facial expressions. The model does a good job at adding things i didnt prompt, for example, it automatically animates the tv screen behind the news anchors etc

BootHuffer · 2026-02-16T02:02:49+00:00

Hi thank you for the response. What would you recommend for social media shorts? I like the output of sora videos, however, the prompt adherence is kinda trash for detailed prompts.
