    The worst part of importing from China for me is the shipping and US tariffs. They really dont understand the damage that can happen in shipping. Almost every order, I have to have replacement parts sent later, which is another headache. Most of any products I order have some weight to them and are not individually packaged. One time I just went over there and hand carried it back, and it was cheaper and easier than shipping it. Most of my tariff charges went up from 0% to 35%. And they will cut any corner possible, so cut cost. Ive personally visited many of the factories, and that does make a huge difference in the relationship, but dont ever think that your guanxi will come before making a buck.

    Buying off of Alibaba is difficult, my seller was great, they sent me what I ordered but it took over 5 months to get my item. I was happy to get the stuff but it was a struggle I was really afraid that I wasn't going to get my order for a while there.

    After I figured out how to get a shipping agent and buying directly from chinese wholesale sites, everything alibaba looks crazy expensive to me😂I also had suppliers straight up sell my custom made products to other customers or try to sell me someone else's product. it's great to get started though

    I have bought a lot of eyewear parts in bulk quantities and I have never had a problem. Alibaba has done a great job of vetting suppliers when I bought from them.

    Steve, great videos! I’m amazed at the knowledge stored in your brain. I’m investing in silver now and I’m curious about a few things. The silver bars I’m looking at are Scottsdale 1ounce by bulk. The same bar sold in us is more expensive. Is this for real? I get very cautious about a site that isn’t very specific and description is vague. Do you know if this is bad choice. I did my masters on online crimes and I really know there . I would appreciate any advice. Please continue to make the videos, you’ve helped a lot people!
