While building our import and retail business, we found it difficult to locate local services to assist and educate us in what to look out for and how to go about importing goods for sale. Not being able to afford several trips to each supplier and for each order, we learnt many lessons, often the hard way. Fortunately we never had a $50,000 40' container of useless, unsellable goods delivered to us, but we do of know some who have. We also know of manufacturers shutting up shop without completing orders, or goods being supplied that are different that what was ordered. While you may be able to sell what has been delivered, the overall cost to your business in reputation, delay to your business growth can be catastrophic.

Wether you are currently importing goods, or are thinking about it, if you are a customer or a competitor we suggest that you review the services listed below. We have several services available for you to use, most of which we simply on charge at cost so that you avoid the experience of many others.

Seriously, do not assume that your supplier has your interests at heart, this is very real and is not worth the risk.
