I want to decrease my shipping costs, the shipping is costing me more than the product itself on alibaba, looking for cheaper alternatives. Maybe have the suppliers deliver to a shipping company in china who then offer me a better rate, anyone done this? The profit margins are already really low due to chinese sellers ruining ebay UK pretending to be uk sellers. They list 1000 items, so even if they make 100 sales for a profit of £1, that's more than enough for them but it's a different thing for us who actually have to import it, pay customs, pay royal mail £2.5 just to ship a small item with tracking.
Any brits here use something other than royal mail? anything cheaper? 1st class signed for is around 2-4 gbp per item depending on weight, too high for lower priced items with smaller profit margins per item. |
