How To Buy From Alibaba Safely (Without Getting Scammed)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
If you’ve been following my blog and podcast, you know that I do a lot of my sourcing from China. But for many starting online entrepreneurs, traveling to China isn’t always feasible. So what can you do?
The good news is that you can get access to the world’s largest eCommerce marketplace, Alibaba, without leaving the comfort of your home.
It can be a great way to get what you need for less, but, just as you need to be careful in all your business dealings, you need to understand how to buy from Alibaba.

Hi I have ordered a sample from a distributor with a gold badge with 10yrs, they have asked for my phone number so they can build a customer profile, is this safe to do so I’m worried as a phone number is usually information that is sold to scammers & telemarketers etc?

Damn you're good. It's honestly humbling to witness how far you'll go to end this madness. *Adriannotch* The compassion you have for the victims, and the people you know the scammers could be, and how you want everyone to be free of this sickening behaviour. It hurts to watch these videos, knowing so many people are scammed daily, but it's a reminder of the good which can be done by honest people in the face of such insidious perfidy. Please keep it up.
Amazing job in covering the most important information in such a short time. U went straight to the point and actually covered the most important stuff without dragging it out. Sometimes I really don't care about your story, I just want u to get to the point. I've earned a subscriber.❤

Wow, good work! Your tone of voice and well-paced tempo kept me hooked from start to finish. The content was loaded with valuable information that everybody needs to hear. I’m particularly interested in learning more about the considerations when deciding between purchasing from Alibaba and buying directly from a manufacturer.
Personally I think you should start a service vetting suppliers and managing purchases from US buyers. I'd pay you. This is the best video on this I have ever watched.
The downside of Alibaba is that the shipping cost is much higher than the actual product purchased

The only thing that stopped me from importing goods is the complexity of the customs and epa requirements. Some suppliers advertise epa certified but epa says a lot of those are not due to some minor changes in the product. Maybe it is smoother with non gasoline powered stuff

Do I have to have a business ein to import and is there any import taxes or anything I would have to pay at the port when the items come in?
Wow that's a strong statement! What makes you think that negotiating the sample price is amateurish? From my own experience of dealing with different manufacturers over 10+ years, I think it's perfectly fine to do that and we did develop a good relationship with most of them. Some manufacturers open an higher price on their sample cost and actually expect a negotiation. This was coming out from the mouth of a sales rep after we became really close friend.

Because trying to negotiate a sample cost makes you look like a fool and not taking your business seriously. It's the cost to do business.

Very informative video. Learnt a lot. Besides the purchasing from Alibaba, and off course paying for shipping, isn't there USA custom duty? If so, how do you know how much it is for the product you buy? Also do these manufacturers ship door to door?

They do ship door to door which is the only way to go with all of my experiences. Just make sure you screen shot all of your chat sessions for proof when errors occurs.

Great video. You mentioned if it’s too good to be true then it probably is . Given that pricing from Ali baba is so much lower than retail in the US, how do you know it’s too low of a price? Is there a place to find out what the average price is for products at the buying side of things?

Was trying to buy a mini-excavator. Contrary to what you're saying the price you may pay at the end may be cheaper, they have the excavators listed at very unrealistically prices. When you contact them, they tell you that's not a real price. Then hit you with a huge price.

Don't rely on everything said. I have personal experience and I am one of the victims of the biggest scam called Trade Assurance. Alibaba's commission is "BLIND" for all the clear evidence for the seller's agreement breach and they support the unfair seller. Their behavior is completely offensive. They will tell you they can not see the difference between one white bear and the other black bear. They just will tell you that you are not a professional like the seller is. There are no such Alibaba rules related to the professionalism of the parties and moreover on the basis of which they decide which one side is and which other side is not a professional. People without honor. I trusted Alibaba Rules and now I am bitterly sorry. I wish someone had told me this before concluding my deal.
thanks a lot. I am struggling with my purchases maybe because i have not used Trade Insurance
Thanks a lot 🙏
Hello.. such informative video thank u very much 🤩🌷🌷 regarding to your point at the minute 8:33 how to check the units if I will ask to ship them directly to Amazon . All what i’m gonna check is the samples i will get. This is what I thought. Can u clarify it more pleasee. And do I really need to hire an inspection company as an Fba amazon seller?? I really need your answers please Thank you.🌷🌷🌷

I have a question if you may. If a product has low demand in china and is mainly produced under a US brand name in china, would it be likely that is a fake or no genuine? Especially in terms of tech.

I plan to order 100 units first, and then if they sell fast, I will order more of them. Thank you! ❤️
