Hi Lexi! I came up on your channel looking for wholesale party suppliers. I just subscribed! If you know of any in LA warehouses, can you PLEASE let us know. I've been wanting to have a small business of my own. TYIA!

[@kayjay8155]

Very helpful tips! Maybe you can do a video about all the “not so fun” business side of things like how to write business plans and maybe a few research tips on how long it actually took for you to go from an idea to the actual up and running of your boutique!?😊 Either way, I think what your doing is amazing!

What kind of business do you have? And do you have any good recommendations for drop shipping sites?

Thank you I've been thinking about making a small business but I just didn't know where to start and how to play it safe too

hello guys, We are a Moroccan cooperative dedicated to giving you the ability to either buy bulk amounts of selenite stone, or purchase the finished product that has already been carved. We operate worldwide and there is no middleman for us when it comes to shipping because we only deal with businessmen who also understand how difficult it can be to manage orders from overseas.

[@tianaevans3656]

Should you limit what you sale on an online store to one product? Like I want to do some home goods and shoes and clothing. Would it be better to just do clothing? Also do you have a video explaining how to contact vendors and what questions to ask?

[@cassandrasifuentes6176]

I used DHGates too. I really like them

[@darnellpeete1211]

Very Good! I have been using all 3 websites for years. Interested in how you would go about getting a wholesalers certification???

[@flippingforreal109]

Thanks for the information you shared but here are my questions. How do you negotiate the shipping cost with the Manufacture and who covers duties and taxes. Better yet how do you get the Manufacture to pay for duties and taxes also while getting the items to your door. Ordering on line is fine and all but shipping cost makes things a little harder...

[@Rose-mz8ob]

Yes! I would like to know about this too.

[@ak5235]

Exactly these are really not helpful

[@lexislife_]

typically you have the pay for shipping and all that shipping to you entails... you can try to negotiate directly but now a days I am finding its harder to negotiate shipping fees

So after purchasing your items from a vendor, would we also have to pay them back a percentage or is it a one time buy, and then we just sell?

One time buy and sell. Vendor will get 0% of your sales. You can decide to go back to him if you want to replenish your inventory.

[@londontiptonreacts]

Can you explain customs and how to get your products and how much importing costs

[@lexislife_]

that depends on the item, the weight, shipping option, production time, and where you are buy it. There isnt a fixed cost. It really depends on the product and the supplier. Ive personally never had an issue with customs either. The process is really smooth for me just long shipping times which is to be expected.

Your video was very helpful! But I was wondering how much do vendor give when you ask for a sample when you are launching you clothing boutique? And have you heard about a vendor name godaddy? Also, do other wholesale vendors customize or is it just Alibaba?

it depends on the vendor on the samples. And I personally use GoDaddy from my website doimains! And yes other venders can customize but just again depends on the vendor.

@@courtinezingram4707 In the video I was giving an example which is why it was in quotes. I do not sell hair which is why I wasn't familiar when your originally asked me my opinion on the brand. But I would open a dispute on whatever website or a third party you used to order from. Try to contact customer service. You could also try to contact the vendor you used via a messenger or chat to see if your items were shipped out yet. Also, things from China can also take a month or two to ship out. Those are some things I could suggest.
