New Zealand members wanted for buying group

2010-10-26T22:55:08+00:00

hi guys.. im a new member here and looking to organise a group buy with a partner or partners. im located in AKL but can organsie with anyone cheers theo

wealthperfection

Heck why not count me in to! Im in Auckland also, money isnt an issue.

genelyn

I am based in Auckland and would be interested in sharing a container. I think this is the best idea as this is the problem most small business people faced (specially those who do not have that much capital to fill in a container yet!). I guess the idea of setting up a company is not that good idea yet as there are many legalities involved and this should be done by 3-5 people I guess. I will be interested in the futture when I have enough capital to invest.

Please count me in my email smartshoppe2009@yahoo.com. I am still in the process of researching which products to buy from China but would definitely be looking for somebody to share container as this will surely mimimize costs.

The buying site set up by onlineshopping is not working as I went there Link hidden: Login to view. Actually settting a yahoogroup with a moderator can work.this is actually a good idea as several containers can be run at the same time and somebody can just inform the group if a container is being filled in and somebody wants to hop in ( I have never run a container before so I hope this makes sense)

Thanks

Hi guys,

If you are worried about all ending up with the same products to sell on TradeMe, you can always use one of our suppliers who offer a wide range of items.

Here is a China-based one: Link hidden: Login to view

And a US-based one: Link hidden: Login to view

Alternatively, you could contact a freight forwarder and see if they can help you out by arranging for each of you to use the same container, but have your stock ordered from different suppliers (if you can decide on a country to order from together).

This might not help out with sharing high MOQ's but is one other option.

If you want to get in touch with a freight forwarder, here are a couple of options:

I haven't used any of these, so cannot guarantee them. If you want to find a few more options, try Googling "freight forwarder Auckland" or "freight forwarder New Zealand"

Sounds like an opportunity

What line of products are you interested in ??

I am relatively new to this and I think it would be good to work with someone first maybe for a while

There is a lot of talk about making money from dropshippers etc but its not that easy when you go to do it

How is it going for you and any advice would be very welcome

mita

Great Idea! count me in..

Have we consider our own online store. we would all have control unlike some of the draw backs trade me can have.

interested on knowing your thoughts.

Hi Mita,

I'm not sure if this plan actually pushed through, if you noticed the thread was started back in 2008 and the last post prior to yours was in 2011. Just a heads up in case no one might reply to your post.

Cheers!

mita

thanks,

i didnt realize that? what happened?

richelle_salehoo1

Sorry Mita, not really sure how things turned out for the members trying to create this buying group.

No real update was made, unfortunately.

fudjj

thanks,
i didnt realize that? what happened?

It's usually a case of one or two being interested in doing something like this, but then they drift off into other ventures and lose focus. Then every now and then someone else adds their name, and the same happens again. Getting everyone interested at the same time is what is required to at least get some discussion going about doing it altogether, but for whatever reason, that doesn't happen and venture ideas like this just tend to fade away.

For anyone really interested, I would suggest including something like your Skype or Yahoo, then as others come along they can add you in and you'll end up building a network sooner or later.

hey everyone i know this is a old post and i should really start my own post im in Blenheim nz and would like to get started in this trade if any local nz people would be keen to network and talk bout issues they have faced being in New Zealand and how they have overcome them etc or any tip or tricks
