Reduce The Risk
Many British companies have tried to import goods from overseas and think they can save money by cutting out the wholesaler. It is seemingly easy to do. Just find a product, choose a factory that have probably found online and can produce it cheaply.
However, those of you who have attempted to import products themselves will well know that doing it right seems easy but is in fact quite challenging. There are a huge number of challenges and hurdles that importing must take into consideration.
Importing from unknown supplier factories is fraught with danger. There are many genuine horror stories of companies sending funds overseas never to see the money again due to unscrupulous sellers who have sent images , videos, and even samples of their supposed factory.
There are many other problems ahead including language issues, time zone differences , payment methods, logistics , insurance , freight collection, shipping, UK Customs clearance , delivery to your door , HMRC requirements to name just a few.
In addition we have to mention quality control. From some of the nightmare stories of goods not being made to standard then trying to claim against the supplier which is virtually impossible.
