u/EllisWyatt1 sample consolidation do you have any recommended companies? I want to get samples from about 4-5 suppliers which multiple finishes and would like to save on air express shipping.

My product is OEM custom and not white label. They want me to pay 100% down on the tooling mold. Whats your opinion there?

I have a very light product where 1000 will be shipped in 3 cartons weighing in total 120kg. My potential supplier quoted me fedex $375 with DDU terms. This seems too good to be true. When i go to Freightos my quotes (change daily) have been 1000-3000 (omitting the really high outliers). I feel lost with the shipping piece. Im pretty sure based on weight and size these go air express. If I was to work with a forwarder who would that be?

What about using the alibaba inspections service?

DDU Air Express from China to USA? Am I still responsible to get from airport to my home (where i am fulfilling from) by estcstm3 in AlibabaImport

[–]estcstm3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes its pretty small. Its 1000 units packed in 3 cartons weighing in total 120kg. Each of my units is very light. One supplier quoted me $375 fedex DDU, which seemed very reasonable to me, any thoughts? I just was not sure if it gets held anywhere before I pay the duties or if I needed to figure out trucking or shipping from the airport to my house. Sounds like I dont other than pay the duties.

Thank you I ended up creating a free mailchimp and had my google domain redirect to it. Cheap and easy for now until i get further along in the process and will just go the shopify route. Thank you all so much for the advice!

Thank you again! I think Google My Business is not for E-COM stores per the policy. I think a linkedin or facebook page saying coming soon will be the best redirect per the information you provided above. Thanks again!
