Lets Talk Wholesale!

Attention all wholesalers, retailers, wholesale suppliers and wholesale buyers.

I should have done this post like 4 posts ago as my first ‘returning’ post but anyways.

After finally completing some of my biggest projects, I am back here to do what I love – blog and share the knowledge.

You will see daily posts, numerous daily posts actually. We will discuss the industry, we will review wholesalers, we will be taking your emails and comments to help you further or start your business. We will expose scammers (list coming soon) we will do product tests, check out wholesalers customer service and be broadcasting live from the best wholesale trade shows. And a whole lot of other great stuff!

Please introduce yourself, please leave a comment, please leave an email, I would love to hear from you!

This is just a heads up for those that don’t already know. ASD is running the second annual Liquidation Expo June 6th to 8th, 2010 in Long Beach California.

This show is geared towards retail liquidation and close-outs and will feature 30,000 square feet and over 105 booths. If this is your line of business, make sure you get your booth/tickets now.

Oh and by the way, if your not from the West Coast, you better book a few extra days as California is beautiful that time of the year!

You want to buy wholesale and you want wholesale products cheap. The cheaper the better right? WRONG!

Pricing is a big factor that can help you weed out scammers from real wholesalers. As the old saying goes, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. A person that recently emailed me told me about an experience they had last month. They had been dealing in wholesale apparel for many years and had worked with a variety of wholesale distributors. So they saw a good deal for shoes made by an Italian brand and jumped on it. Instead of ordering a sample, they ordered 800 pairs since they had dealt with the supplier many times before and never had an issue. The wholesale supplier ONLY accepted bank wire (no way of getting your money back) and the buyer thought it was not an issue.

Well low and behold the shoes arrived and were utter junk. Supposedly made by a brand in the league of Armani and at a price of $35USD/pop landed. Well now the buyer has 800 pieces of junk which are literally worth nothing because they are 100% FAKE.

I have said it before and I will say it again. Please be very careful when dealing with wholesalers and when you buy wholesale products. Order a sample of 10 pieces before you order 800 of them because you can live with a loss of $350. Oh and of course the wholesaler continues to insist they are real.
