Buy Wholesale from Vendors overseas thru DHgate

Buy Wholesale from Vendors overseas thru DHgate. The last few months DHgate ads have been all over the place. So I decided to register and place my first order. I wanted to order something small and that would sell quickly and that I could offer as a gift on one of my sites.

I decided on New Benefit d’finer d’liner clear lip liner. They sell retail anywhere from $14.95 up to $27.00. Wholesale price of $3.32each plus Free Shipping, you definitely can profit from these. You have to order a lot of 12 minimum. Plenty of room for profit. Once I receive my order (which should be here this week) I will let you know how reliable they truly are. In the meantime, you might want to check them out and compare prices with them vs. Alibaba and any of you current sources….

For anyone new to the industry or wanting to get into it, this is the show to attend. You will get to see the furniture, new trends and network best of all you will be handed loads of trade information, contacts and Freebies..

Sell on Buy.com

I am guessing that Wal*Mart sent out my invitation and it was lost in cyber world. No problem, there are so many marketplaces to sell at and many more than willing to take our money.

Aside from Amazon and eBay to generate large amounts of traffic to you through their Name and Advertising; you can also can do well by offering your items at Buy.com. It has now been three months I have been selling on Buy.com Marketplace and I must say so far it has been a great source. Buy.com has very good search engine traffic and the competition is only a fraction of what you would find on eBay and Amazon.

Buy.com charges no monthly fee, no listing fees and process payment directly. Once orders are shipped your are paid the following Tuesday.The only fees you are charged for are once an item sells. The category I sell in is Home & Garden which is subject to a 15% fee from the sale price and a $.99 commission.

Buy.com does screen sellers. I was turned down when I submitted a sight that I just had started but was accepted for the other site I have had for about two years now. They want sellers to demonstrate experience and excellent customer service. Its worth giving it a try. Seriously, what’s the worst they can say…”No”… at least they will know you are out there. With no up front fees you should consider Buy.com. (Does take time lots of it to load your items or you can submit it to them per their specs)

Here is the fee structure:

Buy.com wants you……………..

“We are currently accepting product in the following categories: Apparel and Shoes, Bags and Luggage, Books, Camera, Cell Phones, Computer and Office, DVDs, Electronics, Fragrance, Games, Home and Outdoor, Music, Networking, Software and Toys & Baby.

The following categories are currently closed: Jewelry & Watches, Sports

Start your own Direct Sales Business

Growing up my Mom would host Tupperware or Make-up Parties. Her friends would gather and invite others friends before I knew it, all kids where upstairs while the grownups worked.

Of course all that makes sense now….. Many find success working for themselves with some of the top name brands in Natural products, toys, household items and make-up. You can run your own Business and have fun while you work. You are in control of your sales and definitely get out of it what you put into it.

For details you can visit their website at Dollar Store not the same as Dollar Tree. Do you use or have used their services? If so, how did it work for you? Do you have any recommendations where to find such large inventory?



Sell School Supplies Online

In my search to save money on schooling supplies, I have come across several places you find not only find an incredible deal but you can also sell them online. I usually order my items from Lakeshore Learning Supplies. Lakeshore Learning Supplies is known for their large variety of School Supplies but are pricey even with a teacher or Home School parent discount.

 

I recently went shopping to my local Dollar Tree Store. I have seen them around and heard in the news that you should NOT purchase food from them. As the food products are well past their expiration date. I did find several deals. I found Phonics Book, Spelling Books, Script, Reading Books, Flashcards and much more. I purchased five of each for each one of us and for my nephews. I came home with about 150 new supplies for your homeschool for just around $165.00. That is a deal. The supplies are $1.00 each.  All items are $1.00, if you do not have a Dollar Tree in your area, you can shop online at the same low prices. When ordering online, you will have to order the minimum per item. Some activity books are sold in 24 pieces etc… Visit their website at Dollar Tree Store.

 

This is the type of product they offer:

 

 

Aside from schooling supplies you can find all these categories: Floral Supplies & Décor, Party Supplies, School & Office Supplies, Teacher’s Corner, Arts & Crafts, Toys, Games & Activities, Health & Personal Care, Cleaning Storage & Hardware, Kitchen & Tableware, Seasonal

 

The items are great and from just having spent $3,000.00 is supplies for my kids schooling, I can truly appreciate the offers at Dollar Tree. I will create a package or my next giveaway. Come back soon for details.

 

Now, if you check on eBay, you will find the market for Schooling Supplies. You can purchase items from the Dollar Tree and offer them on eBay, Bonanzle, stootsi, eCrater you name it. Get your product out there. It would work best to offer them as a package deal. Some items do have the retail price listed anywhere from $3.95 and up. Regardless, the savings are incredible with many possibilities.

 

Do you already shop at a Dollar Store? Do you sell items online from the Dollart Store? Do you have any sites you would like to share?

 

 

 

 

 

 



Finding & Understanding How Drop Ship Works

Drop shipping is the shipping of merchandise from a supplier directly to a retailer’s customer. This means that the retailer can ship to their customers directly from the suppliers’ warehouses. You (the retailer) will not have to worry about stocking the inventory. This process minimizes risk because the retailer does not need to buy the product until it has sold. Therefore, you will not need to invest any capital for inventory.

Suppliers take care of the warehousing, packaging, and shipping of products, saving you a great deal of money and time. The flexibility of using a Drop Shipper is that you save money on overhead cost. The Drop Shipper will provide you with a stock image and the description of the item.
