Best way to import large order from China?
I was wondering what shipping method is best to ship large stock to UK from China. Does it really makes sense financially to use DHL, Fedex e.t.c to import large stock as I have noticed the charges sometimes seem near equal or larger that the cost of goods itself.
I was talking to a supplier who was advising to use the shipping port as it is way way cheaper even though it may take 30 days or more which I do not mind, but I have no previous experience of this shipping method.
My third and final option is travelling there myself or send someone to be the purchaser, spend a week to gather all the stock into one package, will pay for the return flight when it is cheaper then return to UK with total luggage of up to 60KG and possibly more if allowed, excess luggage paid for. The viability of this approach I still dont know cause I dont know the cost of flight there or what the excess luggage will cost either.
Please share your thoughts and experiences
