Hello Jimmy (Salehoo)

I want to post a question to you

I am anew member , 1 day. I live in Fiji and stumble upon this site. Actually I wanted to do some business on the side....

..however after checking out the suppliers & their locations.. ...am wondering whether its worth it for me....since I am so far away in the pacific....not sure If I will get any profit from this.

I hav no idea how to operate on ebay......I am only interested in ordering products and sell here in Fiji.....

am interested in ladies hand bags...

Please advise whether u think I will be able to find a supplier & make any profit, considering my location.......

thanks

Hi Nomi, welcome to the site.

Jimmy is no longer part of the SaleHoo forum, but I will be happy to advise you.

If you are clooking at servicing a local market with ladies handbags, I would suggest that the liquidations avenue in the US would provide you with the best possible value.

You are of course going to need to worry about shipping, so you should be looking for a small loads to get yourself established.

Do you have any idea how big your market would be there, and what types of brand names your would be interested in?

Hi Fudji

Thank u so much for the response

Actually I'm not sure how big the mkt is but I know there is a market for trendy fashionable ladies handbag......it doesn't have to be a brand...pple here are price sensistive. Brand name bags are sold here for $100+ ......am just looking at brand immitation handbags. am thinking of starting small....my worry is the shipping n currency....however if I can find handbags at very low price/sales then I will still be able to make a profit .

Do u have any idea of the cost of shipping from US to the pasific?

Can u give me/or direct me to the liquidations in US...how to find them. I went on to the supplier below from ur list and saw the prices of the bags...it looks good

Has anyone buy from this supplier?

If I can find any prices lower that that it will be really great......I will also look around for other products

Thanks for ur help

Shipping is going to depend on the size of the load, so you will really need to have some specifics befroe you will get a good idea on shipping.

I haven't actually heard of the company you have mentioned, but I do have a few contacts in the surplus market, just give me a few days and I'll see what I can find that may interest you.

Cheers

Hi,

Recently joined Salehoo. I am in Australia and just stating out trying to earn some extra cash.

I'd have to say after reading Jimmy's 'Myth Exploder' It has pretty much knocked the wind out of my sails.

A lot of those things I had been intending to try, don't quite know where to start now. Seems everything I had in mind doesn't work.

My cash situation rules out Wholesale and Liqidation or any large stock purchases.

Guess I'll just have to mark this venture as another failure in my many and becoming expensive attempts at an online business.

I quite frankly don't know where to turn next.

Hi Bungy, and welcome to the site.

It's not an easy business to break into, no doubting that, but it's not impossible to generate an online income stream with very little cash.

If you're new to the game then the very first step should be to gather up some unrequired products from around the house to list. This not only gives you some valuable selling experience, but it starts to build your feedback and it costs you nothing.

Of course it also adds to your budget!

From there I would suggest you take a close look at the second hand market, garage sales, weekend markets, charity shops, local papers and so on. These avenues will give you access to products that won't break the bank, and as long as you buy right, will provide good opportunity to make margin on.

It also gets you out of the house for a while : )

Really poor experience. The worst experience ever!

Hello everyone. I am new to Salehoo and joined on 31/07/09, I have spent hours reading on this forum and have learned plenty. I checked a number of wholesalers in Salehoo's directory.

I am an extremely hard worker and have been all my life. I am new to this wholesaler/dropshipping business and wanted to give it a try. I want to succeed and will continue to work to succeed in this business. It took me weeks of research before I decided to sign up at Salehoo. I feel I have received my $67 worth just on this forum alone. I have a couple of questions for all you experienced individuals:

1) How often is the directory updated?

2) Why is it when I do a search on a specific product, does other wholesalers that has nothing to do with the product I searched for show up also

Example if I look up 'camping' wholesalers websites that has nothing to do with 'camping' shows up. I have to look at each one and weed out the ones that doesn't pertain to what I am searching for.

3) Why does a lot of these companies in the directory have 'coming soon' in areas such as 'shipping, or in other areas on their reports' that are in the directory?

4) I am considering becoming a member at another dropship wholesaler like Salehoo to get more more listings to use would any of you or have any of you done it?

Comments would be appreciated.

I am new also, but I clicked on the link on Salehoo's main page with the link stating salehoo.com/recommends/dhgate.com, I went and looked at the site, nice prices then I looked them up on Google search and everyone is trashing them...Link hidden: Login to view

If this site is supposed to get me started in dropship/wholesale biz, why are they advertising for sites that seem to be obvious scams?

Welcome to the site, and I would suggest that you search the forum for threads on DH Gate, there is quite a lot written about them here. We even have a member, voodoothree, writing about their ongoing purchases through DH Gate.

One of the biggest misconceptions I see in here is peoples perception of what DH Gate actually is. Many think they are the supplier, when in fact they are not!

DH Gate is business directory listing independent suppliers to buyers, they don't supply any product at all. With most of these directory sites, you will find a variety of businesses promoting themselves, the good, the bad and the not so attractive!

It is incumbent on the buyer to research each company that they find through these types of sites, but sites like DH Gate effectively serve the purpose of linking buyers with suppliers.

Hi,

My name is Sandra, I joined Salehoo last year. My question is, do you have any wholesalers who carry large men nightwear.I'm looking for pj's, loungewear, underwear etc... that are updated in todays new styles.

Thanks

Hi Sandra, and welcome to the site.

You can try searching through the directory to see if there is anything that may suit your requirements, however if you find nothing you can contact support@salehoo.com, and they will be happy to see what they can find for you.

You may also want to consider placing an inquiry under our wholesale suppliers forum directory, that way other members may be able to suggest suppliers that they have used or at least are aware of.

Cheers
