I want to start producing my own Dye Sub Mugs. However the quote I am getting from a local supplier is too high and the shipping is a major issue and I need help in trying to figure out other options. My MOQ is between 1,000 to 2,160 blank mugs.
1. I know the US based suppliers are getting the blanks directly from China or Thailand. How can I import these mugs directly instead of going through a middle man? I have no experience with importing or customs and do not know the regulations, tarrifs (if any) etc. involved with this.
2. Shipping Issues: I do not have a commercial space and trying to get a pallet delivered to a residential address would cost $820 approximately according to the US supplier because it requires lift gate service, to make matters worse my understanding is the shipping company would just drop it at the end of my driveway in the street as I have a sloped driveway. Any ideas on how to solve this?
