I was going to list all the sites on the following page to seem smart, but it's not worth the effort.

Here's a list of wholesale sites from various parts of the world: https://sellerzen.com/online-b2b-mar...a-alternatives

The post was made at the inception of the pandemic.

LOL ,Probably knew about the pandemic.

Not sure if you're interested but I know there is a site where you can buy liquidation stuff from stores.. like pallets of returns and things like that. Stuff you can flip. I can't think of the link off hand but if anyone has interest let me know and I'll find it.

Re: Supplier websites alternative not based in China
 

you mean buy truckload or half load,mostly liquidations or store returns,those are USA based,and you take pot luck.

Re: Supplier websites alternative not based in China
 

you can go to local wholesale districts and see what they have,you may pay more,but you save on shipping.

Re: Supplier websites alternative not based in China
 

Exactly. Like something like this: https://liquidations.walmart.com


Also build a network of US based distributors. They always have overstock of inventory they want to liquidate. I deal with a few suppliers for my business and every once in a while clear out some of their old stuff. No shipping I pick it up local.

The pandemic changed a lot of things. We've spent the past few months just liquidating inventory that would normally move but because of the pandemic we can't move it as fast so due to cash flow constraints we are willing to accept lower prices. There are plenty of businesses in the same situation like this. You can benefit from their loss and their need for liquid capital.

IT IS pretty bad out there,IRS is now saying many fraud tax returns,people steal your SSN and file for you and get a measly refund/
Some are breaking into ATM as it now has more cash than before.
questions

you can also go to HD,LOWe ,they have tables full of returns,half open stuff OR any supermarkets,they have liquidation bins of canned goods,dry goods,wine,electronics,etc.

In the past two months or so, I had an ATM rip me of twice. Lost about $400 total, called the bank, the ATM owner, ect and had to just eat the loss.

I live in the USA and all those places are open with limitations. Different states have regulations as well so I can't say its the same for everyone. I'm in NJ.
