Have been on DHgate, Alibaba, and Aliexpress trying to find a supplier for products (wide range of goods). Unfortunately, no one on there is even responding to purchase or price requests.

I've selected Gold level, online for chat, etc but still nothing.. It's weird since it will say a seller is online and I'll live chat them, but they don't message me back. I've taken a glance at their response rates as well. Have sent maybe around 150 price requests and contact forms out and received 3 responses.

I'm over the minimum too for most of the products, and some of them are on the high end of my price range. I'm surprised even at 500-1,000+ pieces on multiple items, and even smaller orders like 75-100 the suppliers haven't contacted me back. I'm flexible on the quantity too, and gave them all my email, skype, etc. I've stayed up at 3-10am trying to reach out to people, but even then no luck.

.....

Is there a better way to do this?
