Price benifit or loss in ordering things from abroad
When we order products from any foreign country, let's say for example US. What would be the approximate cost or the price benefit or loss considering everything like shipping, currency exchange and all??
Will the product be still cheaper than its variant here or it will be almost equal or more than the cost???




There are various online wholesale shops in China providing goods for cheaper price. These china goods also come with 6months to 1 year warranty. But most of them are bulk like 3 to 4 pieces should be ordered to get the best price. We get these chinese goods at around 40% lesser rates than what we get here. From otehr countries, goods will be much costlier and there is no point importing it here!
But one drawback is Customs duty and Taxes along with shipping charge. This can eat up around 20% of the margin. Still I believe around 20-25% margin in these goods[chinese]. Its a very good business.
There is another concept called dropshipping, all these wholesale stores will deliver the goods to your customers home [if you are selling to a customer, in any country], the only thing is that they will have to provide the duty and other fees. Atleast you can save on the double shipping cost.
chinavasion.com is a good option. Just have a look.
I just now checked out the website you mentioned and believe me it is of no use. I found out a useful rechargeable torchon that website. Fistly they has a min order thingy, ok agreed then when i decided to check out. it showed me a shipment charge of 87 dollars. The product was for a mere 10 dollars and shipment alone was for 87...

These are profitable on if you purchase goods in bulk, In that case I guess the total price per piece will come down to a good extend. Actually there are so many people making money like this. Try searching in google for "China wholesale stores", you should get a pretty good number of stores. Dont believe all of them, atleast you will know how the thing works. If you have a shop to sell these goods, surely you get products which has pretty good margin.
I dont mind having chinese goods but i m a bit not a very big fan of them as well. Here basically m asking is if i order smthing like a full HD sharp projector that is available for 90000 in India will i be benefited from the price that US websites are offering and will there be a profit or a loss aftre i get product in INDIA.
