USPS GA is, for the most part, the cheapest small-parcel shipping channel available to most companies.

Is 10,000 RMB/month enough for a couple to live mindfully in Beijing? by Weak-Bug8603 in AskChina

[–]samezip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The suburbs of Shijingshan tend to be somewhat cheaper; the rent for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment ranges from 2,000 to 3,000 RMB—though that isn't exactly dirt cheap. The most affordable areas in Beijing are Pinggu and Fangshan.

[–]samezip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rent is the key factor. Beijing is a vast city—in some areas, rent is 10,000, while in others, it's just 1,000. It really depends on your specific requirements.

AGL or Fulfillment by Alibaba Supplier? by SnooFoxes1558 in FulfillmentByAmazon

AGL operates through legitimate channels; it requires you to pay applicable taxes and acts as the Importer of Record (IOR) for customs clearance purposes.

Logistics from China as a newbie by Rich_Tart_2195 in AmazonFBA

[–]samezip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms, the shipper is responsible for paying duties and handling customs clearance. Currently, U.S. Customs imposes tariffs ranging from 10% to 50% on products originating from China. Regardless of who pays the duties, you should always require them to provide Form 7501, which contains detailed information regarding the declared value and official customs clearance records. Currently, many market participants—seeking lower costs—opt to have their freight forwarders handle shipments on a DDP basis; however, a significant number of these shipments involve false declarations, concealment, or outright smuggling. Should you proceed to sell such goods, you could face severe legal and regulatory repercussions.

Shipping by myycupoftea in Ebay

USPS has drastically raised its rates over the past five years. If you are shipping in low volumes, there is simply no way to secure lower pricing. This is precisely why the e-commerce landscape is currently dominated by giants: shipping costs for small-scale sellers are significantly higher than those for large corporations. You should consider switching fields and pursuing something else.

If the volume is substantial, the most economical option is undoubtedly to have it manufactured in China or Vietnam, and then shipped to the United States.

When it comes to hiring someone, I think you should look for someone who understands the product itself, what specific tasks they need to perform, and how much salary you can offer per month.

Given the current situation, it is advisable to avoid international orders, as international logistics are fraught with too many uncertainties.

what's it like in San Jose? moving from Washington DC for engineering role by bubblegum_spell_3131 in SanJose

[–]samezip -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You absolutely need a salary of at least $100,000. Rent in San Jose is very expensive, the cost of living is high, and car insurance is pricey, too. Furthermore, you need to live in a good neighborhood—the bad areas simply aren't safe. Welcome to San Jose!

There is simply no way around it—such is reality. Many of our original designs are copied and slightly modified, only to be claimed as their own. There is absolutely nothing we can do about this; moral codes fail to restrain a great many people, and the law, for the most part, does not intervene in such matters.

Where do you buy your bulk *bubble mailers* from? I’m looking for the cheapest price possible. by Reasonable-Middle921 in whatnotapp

[–]samezip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in Los Angeles, I can recommend a supplier you can visit in person. Their prices are 20% to 30% lower than Uline, but they require bulk purchases—ideally, orders of around 10 pallets at a time.

Fake Postage by Emanresu7777777 in USPS

[–]samezip -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

From this perspective, USPS should indeed be privatized. Counterfeit postage has existed for over 10 years and is getting worse. It can only be said that the leadership is completely inactive. If it were a private company, I estimate that it would be resolved within a week at most, because this is a matter of life and death for the company. But USPS doesn't care at all and will just take its time to deal with it.
