    as long as you can make profits from the clothing ,why concern so much about the cost .
    so you should try to reduce the shipping cost, and i suggest you go by see if you don't need your stuff badly
    Supplying ratchet tie-downs , cam buckle tie-downs, bungee cords

    You'll want to maximize profits not just make profit. So look at your marginal cost for each pound of clothing and compare it to air and sea. Which ever is lower I'd go with. Take into account intangibles such as time, security etc. as well

    I think air would be too expensive for 220bls. I would suggest to use sea. It only takes 30-45 days. And you can lower your cost.

    My thoughts as well. If you know anyone else in the same market maybe you guys could combine costs and take advantage of your economies of scale.

    When it comes to cheap China goods that are halfway around the world, that's basically how it works.

    Try sea.
