Hey all

[Tom Milan]

Hey Guys, my names Tom, living in the Mckinnon, Bentleigh area.

studying management at Deakin now, but finding it all useless.

Had a few business ventures in the last 2 years, dealing a lot with Chinese suppliers, and have learnt a lot, so hopefully i can offer assistance in regards to importing from China and surrounding regions.

Other then that Im looking into another 3 projects, one deals with the Ebay market and the other 2 are still in the development stages.

Hope to hear from anyone that can provide an interesting chat or needs any asistance.

Cheers,

Tom

Hey Tom, Welcome to AT!

So have most of your ventures been online, or offline as well? What have you found your biggest challenges to date to be?

[Tom Milan]

recently they have been online, but before then they more or less offline.

Challanges..huh..where do i start, when you deal with Chinese suppliers, not to generalise or anything, but theres 1/50 genuinely reliable suppleris, 1/100 of them actually have certificates for their products.

Get my drift?

As i said before I don't want to generalize, as i have found those couple, that are genuine and have certification, but it really does take a lot of time to find them.

Also the MAIN difficulty is the Language barrier/cultural differences.

I could go on for days lol.

Hope i could be of help, if need be i can provide more info.

Tom
