Re: how to get cheap china shipping from company's?
If you boat it you have to pick it up at the port and there's other issues.
You own at a map, right? China is on the other side of the world. Would YOU haul 28KG 18,000 miles for $100? I think not.
The key words here are 'small wholesale' and 'everybody' says the same thing.
They block you because you're not a 'wholesaler', you're a small buyer, and they're telling you they're not going to take a shipping hit for your tiny little time-wasting order when they can sell somebody else pallet loads with 20,000-100,000 pieces at a time.
When I purchase I order 80-100K pieces at a time, 2X a month on the average, and I keep 1-2 million pieces of inventory here on hand. These are VERY inexpensive items, but still, 100,000 piece orders still get a certain degree of attention and service.
I get a rate that's about 1/3 of the DHL commercial rate. My guess is they subsidize the shipping themselves.
And I'm small potatoes on the scale these guys sell.
You want a real deal try buying 10,000 units and spending 3-6K at a time. You'll get treated pretty well.
Otherwise be glad they work with you at all.
