How to start an online store with products from China

1. Choose products by the numbers

Calculate landed cost per piece — purchase, freight, duties and local delivery — against your selling price.

2. Start with samples

Order samples, photograph them and test demand.

3. A moderate first quantity

Order enough to learn, not enough to get stuck with stock.

4. Choose shipping by sales volume

Air for fast testing, sea for steady sellers, and consolidation to combine products.

5. Follow the rules

Check certification and labelling rules for your market before buying.

We help with the part done in China: search, samples, packing, consolidation and shipping by the agreed method.
