Alibaba dilemma

( www.reddit.com )

Alibaba dilemma Seems like all the suppliers I talk to have a really high MOQ. Since I’m still in the product validation phase, I don’t want to be ordering huge amounts of product I can’t sell. I’ve suggested to suppliers a small production batch at a premium to which all have declined. Anyone have any experience with Alibaba and sourcing on smaller amounts / s…

Alibaba suppliers charging excessive shipping rates? Just starting out so I am using Alibaba to find suppliers until the volume of my orders changes. However, the sellers try to charge exorbitant shipping rates (45USD for 2.5kg), and this is excluding custom fees. Do I go look for a freight forwarder myself, even when it is for samples? Do I pay the custom fees or do I ask them to include it in t…
