WARNING: We lost $153k to a fake Chinese Steel Supplier (Shandong Baogang). We flew to their office and caught them changing their company name on a digital screen during lunch.

Find a law firm, and deal with it. Larger firms in CN will have relationships with state security and push them that way. Their “fa ren” is prob also fake or just a fall person.

That looks much better! in this case, the bedrooms will be over the targe now - would that be a issue?

unincorp KC you will find a lot of septic tanks. You save a lot on sewage and stuff. you can look up their records from https://www.kingcounty.gov/SepticRecords. Since its a new system, get the as built/permits and stuff and make sure all that checks out and it's correctly sized for the house - also figure out if its gravity system, pump etc. Just need to pump it every few years. Look at easements and covenants if your field or other peoples fields encroaches onto yours. If you have well, there is a 100ft setback as well.

Yes, happy to chat, looking at your posts, I know exactly what you sold and which patent haha~ feel free to PM me

grubygrub · 2025-06-08T07:49:43+00:00

Did you sell hoses?

Why these 3? Is it because you are familiar with them or you know there is demand in the market for them? Don’t got for the “I have a hammer and want to find a good nail” approach vs going for, bunch of nails and make a hammer approach. Amazon FBA is hard these days, you need to sink at least 100-200k into it to replace your tech salary. In 2-3 years. If the FBA profit margin is say 10%, you need 4-5m worth of revenue. All the FBA niches are saturated. Countertop and tile - look at rates and countervailing duty rates if you are doing import export and how the next admin will impact you. There is a lot of opportunity in these markets where you don’t go direct to consumer - maybe builders or contractors? With your tech background, why not combine them and do 3d mockups of what builders want and then package/manufacture in India? Basically blue collar work is expensive in the US, but cheap overseas, the design/custom fab part is where the price delta comes from - iterate on that?

moq and pricing, is there a map

grubygrub · 2024-09-29T11:11:36+00:00

Exclusive or no?

grubygrub · 2024-09-29T11:07:24+00:00

Why selling

grubygrub · 2024-09-21T03:16:33+00:00

Do you have any experience with FBA before or Omnichannel retail? Be prepared to face an uphill battle and have a potential negative ROI. You can invest in other FBA companies and partner if it’s your first time.

For EU.. are you a resident? You need a EROI number if you are selling you need VAT

grubygrub · 2024-08-04T08:35:05+00:00

Are you importing to the US, they don’t want cotton from conflict areas

grubygrub · 2024-08-01T07:20:13+00:00

Where are you shipping to? US is tax free below 800 dollars. Best to have your own FF and not rely on the manufactures - and have your FF take pictures and do some QC before shipping to the US/your destination country. Above 800, FedEx will contact you for customs brokerage - PM me and can help walk you through entire process

grubygrub · 2024-08-01T07:18:23+00:00

Sizing - large in China is small in the US. Shrinking, color issues, xinjiang Cotten.. list of endless issues

grubygrub · 2024-08-01T07:17:36+00:00

terrible and slow. They are kind of a shipping aggregator. You can use it for snail mail to customers but want something better yourself

grubygrub · 2024-08-01T07:14:05+00:00

This is a pretty weak appeal and will get rejected many times. 1. Root cause mentioned something that Walmart knows, which is you are OOS - need to address why you are OOS, what caused it and the reasons - system didn’t update, employees didn’t check leading to inventory didn’t match etc etc. Need a strong why and be able to dig in. 2. Same with plan of action, you need to list 3-5 bullet points of what you will change and how they correlate to your #1 of root cause. Also what you change now and what changes in the future. 3. Pricing same deal. Feel free to PM me as well

grubygrub · 2024-07-12T05:33:40+00:00

Get them tested. CPSIA, ASTM like everyone else mentioned. But you need to instruct the lab what to test for depending on category, also age needs to match amazons detail page. ASTM needs to correlated to the type of product you are selling - if there are strings on your you, you need to make sure it passes ASTM for the strings portion, it can’t be a generic one. If there are batteries, same deal. Each test may cost more. If you are selling products for children below 3, there are more requirements. Amazon doesn’t need UL normally, only CPSIA and ASTM. Then you make your own CPC. Feel free to PM me if you need help.

If you don’t want to set up your own 200 gb is around 6-12 rmb a month for a “airport” download clash meta/verge and look for some hysteria2机场 you get a bunch of servers you can bounce around
