Lucwaizy:
Thanks, please drop down the link of the seller of the Adidas slippers.

Ymodulus:
I will take the above to be your first time doing business. Well don't get bitter over the loss. Business is a an euphemistic risk in my own definition and the first is always the learning point. Notwithstanding your loss you can make good use of the said amount ( N20,000 ) and make reasonable profit. All depends on your logic and determination and how well you can face the world.


In Importation I always like to classify it into 4

1. The Buyers and sellers. ( They buy item and sell )
2. The Suppliers. They supply item in bulk and get money. Requires more expertise money/ experience and connection )
3. The procurement guys. They buy for people and they pay them
4. Contract getters.



With the sum of N20,000 i have this pin size advice to give you.

1. Do not rush buying any item because you see your mates buying them or its the latest fad in town. Do proper research. At times the most stupid item may be the best selling item.

2. From experience avoid items that involve large money. Try get items that requires less and profit will be high. Let's get it straight in business you have to kill your emotions and its about the final money. If you are to import get items that when you bring them in landing cost should not exceed N2000 and that when you sell them you can make gain of N800 per item at minimum.

Please for your N20,000 do not go about importing these items

a. Female Bag
b. Brazilian Hair
c. Phone. ( You need more strength to sell this but it can be so rewarding mind you. )

Avoid the above liste items. its a 20% success - 80% failure chance. Also your money won't be enough to finance it. And you may not have the required market of which is difficult this does not goes to say you can't make a profit no. But let these be your last options.


Items I did prolly advice you get, are items of less value and weight. You can look into

a ) Slippers : I mean quality in-house slippers, I know you will say am stupid or crazy but sir these is the season and many guys are raking in big money from it. From Adidas to several crazy slippers design, I will send you a manufacturer for this if you want.

b ) Wrist Watches: Like it or not these are selling items. You just need to know the right way to sell it.

c) Female Flat Shoes: female flat shoes are moving like hell. Though am not into them but I can bodly tell you people on it are ploughing in money.

d) Glasses: By glass I mean Designers glasses. Complete replica. Note I said complete replica.These replicas are exactly the same undistinguishable. I mean AAA not AA or A. Meet guys like sterdam / shinaf. They will assist for free on this. And tell you how to sell it and if you are lucky sterdam may be of greater help to you here.

e). Fashion Items: Look for items in general that are used and will get finished everyday. Items that people will always want to keep coming for. Please avoid Cream Tubes as they are contra - band but if you must go for them. Contact me I will give you a shipper to handle that.

g). Generally if you must go for an item do it under these two category. Consumable Goods or Luxury.


Mode of Selling: There are many means to sell. The easiest way is through BBM , Konga, Jumia or Nairaland Advert ( I mean paid advert offered by seun on nairaland. ). I know you may say why should I pay 2000naira for an advert for 3-4 days trust me those advert change life. You can't even get such response from google AdSense. For konga and Jumia contact the nairalander. Paradise163 she will explain all you need. And hey believe me konga and jumia is the best for you. More to it than people see. But for now rake in your money fast and clear.
Olx too is another fast means but advertising in popular locations only. Post one advert in about 6 states preferably ( Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Ogun, Kano and Portharcoyt ).

Please also note this that the above advice is based on the premise that you want to venture into the buying and selling aspect of importation. And do not make mistake of trying to say you can go alone, meet guys to put you through and give you necessary assistance in one way or the other so you do not experiment with N20,000.

As I take a bow, I will like to hammer once more on my last advice. Please meet someone to guide you do not risk things anyhow. You can meet any of these guys.

Price: I won't paste the price I got if for here, because it may hamper your ability to sell. But I got it about 3 times cheaper than Alibaba.


Just chat with the lady then upload the slippers to her as a picture and tell her you want it. Please also why importing it note that it falls under custom category of Rubber and contraband, so they may add 20 extra on clearance fee. You get me. I stated this so you do not feel the freight company cheated you


If you need courier service to transport it to any state via PEACE MASS TANSIT for #100 contact me. I will send you as a text. But first I must confirm you have those slippers, as I won't want to ruin my only contact.

Bro, Good to hear from you, I will like to know about this.

jaydee87:
with 20k u can invest right in importation, but my advice is if you want to make money this Xmas u should make your purchase before the 20th of Nov because many buyers are going to buy for Xmas and shipment is going to be slow... my advice you can do a feasibility study of slippers that someone spoke of and the ladies shoe it sell like crazy I tell you even watches too[b]. but tread with caution and spend wisely....[/b]
Dont use all your money split it into 2 u can get a lot with half and see the result then next year you gather your gain and reinvest then u will be experienced and shud have learnt a lot...

Ymodulus:


OK. Bro. Its easy. You see issue of Logistics is no longer difficult as people make it to look. My only reason of not sharing it was I was skeptical of how it would be abused. But I will do so tonight on my new thread - " Do it Yourself - Contract Version "

Now to your question, all you have to do is this work to Peace mass transit go to the courier section and try tell them you want to register as a member and let them see how often you will always patronize them. They will agree and always give you discounted price and have it secured.


Note that I paid #100 for those goods above because they were slippers.

This trick is the easiest it works even for dhl. For dhl. Go to their office and register as a member and you will always remember today. Do you know some guys pay N3000 for 1Kg to some northern states from China via Dhl?

Its not expensive its extremely cheap. Because if you say you want to use third party agent. Please calculate the way bill + clearance + logistics for transfer to the north.


Summarily, I mean go talk heart to heart with them.

Some people here know well on this, in fact someone on this forum taught me this. If you know more chip in one or two ideas don't be scared.

SunnyJ2:

Jaydee87 thamks for your advice. but intend import phones even if it is 3 or more because already got a market for that.

Ymodulus:


Good. If you got a market for it then do so hit the money and make it. But mind you save oooo. I do not mean you should save all your life out.

A friend ( mayorall ) once said to me that I should save until someone says am stingy. That to him is saving. So my bro save until the say you are stingy. Lol!!
