Looking for suppliers

Hello

I want to start my e-commerce, want to sell something we do not have much here, in Canada. I think it should be accessories; like Victorinox swiss army, perfume etc. I'm looking for suppliers or wholesalers of those things, if you know the place, please let me know.

thats not an actual supplier. You will see CX, Moteng and other suppliers that are made to look like part of that program. You dont have to use the real suppliers when using dropship, but it is best to make sure that you have the lowest prices and process the orders directly with your supplier program and not somehting in the middle.

Definately make a sound decision and do some research before actually working with any providers on alibaba. But you should be doing this when making any deals over the internet.

There are lots of scams, but I have successfully bought several different items from different providers on the site. Just have to be careful... but it is possible to find a good deal and trustworthy partner.

OneSource is by far the best, a little expensive up front but its a one time fee and your a member for life. They call and verify all the suppliers in their lists, weed out the scammers and middlemen. I think they even have some sort of guarantee.

Since your starting something new you might check out these free ebooks and start your business the right way

Always remember you legitimate wholesalers will not sell to just anyone, in the states you are required to have a state tax ID and/or business license. If they dont require one or both of those your dealing with a middle man.

If you want to import from the Far East (Hong Kong and China) you can PM me as I have offices there that can get you basicalluy anything you need as long as you comply with the minimum quantities the factories ask for.
