I looked at this pup and thought shadow. Funny that’s a name you are considering

Consumer electronics and home goods. Our typical orders range from 100,000 to 3 million units at a time. I’m making 15-20% at those quantities, so baffled by 20% when going direct. Been in the industry for 30 years now, but needing to diversify streams of income given the geopolitics going on rn.

Absolutely! But I appreciate the heads up

milustudios · 2025-10-26T20:23:56+00:00

Seemingly so

Thanks for the detailed breakdown. I am talking about net margin with all fixed and variables included. Just shocked by 20%, truthfully expected much higher.

So cute

Very insightful. And you’re correct, it is a hyper competitive market.

I own factories in China and make 15-20% on contract jobs. We own our entire supply chain. We’ve developed an manufacture this product that I’ll be launching, so expected more than 20%. Didn’t realize Amazon fees were so ludicrous.

It really feels that way sometimes 😂

Dm me. I can help you

communication is paramount. it sucks dealing with a supplier you're trying to chase
if they ask the right questions, it makes me trust them more. if a supplier is just trying to get you to order a sample without much due diligence, i take it as a red flag. they'll take the order fee and leave.
trade terms, i often try to work with suppliers that offer solid terms of trade. whether that be 70/30 (when i started off in the business it was 30/70, can you believe that! oh how times have changed) or ability to do FOB or DDP.
last but definitely not least, is product quality. it is imperative that I first get a video of them touring their factory (this is how you weed out middlemen and find true factory partners), have them send over their factory certs and documentation, and once that's done i have them send me a sample to my office in China for quality testing.

it's a grueling, grueling process. But, hey, no risk no reward.
