Hi everyone,

Can any SaleHoo members who have been dealing with Chinese suppliers can recommend me any reliable third party inspection company please?

I want to import some accessories and general merchandise products from China to Australia but worry about the products quality.

Much help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Robert

I can't personally recommend any as I've never personally used one. However, KRT would seem to be a good fit for what you're looking for. Worth checking them out at least Link hidden: Login to view

Marc my niche is in sports shoes. I'm looking for an authorized supplier for name brand athletic shoes from International/China or from the US to load my eCommerce website. Having a hard time finding anybody with any deals or variety. AliExpress has good suppliers for many things but eBay won't except them and has restricted my account until I can provide a supplier with documentation. Ebay is real picky about things these days. Anyway I'm looking for advice and direction. Thanks.

Hi Mark,

No win situation for you selling branded shoes from China unfortunately, and no one will be able to supply you with legit proof of authenticity as it just doesn't exist in China. It doesn't matter what it is, shoes, phones or whatever, no chance at all of getting authentic branded items. That's why eBay have jumped on your account.

In regards where you can find them, I guess it comes down to what brands, but something like Nike is zero chance. Big brands like this market through their own channels so they can maintain control over their brand. The last thing they want is Nike shoes turning up on eBay at half the price you can buy them for in the stores.

That's not good for their business lol

My best advice, check out surplus suppliers. No guarantee you will find them and even if you do, you may be limited in how you are allowed to sell them.

Cheers
