HELP! Need experienced mentor who can help me deal with China...

[Kate Price]

So I've been in contact with suppliers to have some jewelry made for my company for about 6 weeks now, and I'm becoming increasingly frustrated because I can't seem to find a company that I feel remotely comfortable working with.

I've watched a few videos on GlobalSources.com, and that REALLY helped. In fact, it helped so much that I know I need a mentor or someone to help guide me through the process bc I'm in over my head.

My online jewelry company will suffer if I try to do this without support, so here I am. It's still early in the project, no money has been exchanged, and no deals have been struck. I'm still narrowing down contenders, but I'm fairly underwhelmed with the ones I've been in touch with thus far.

I'm positive this can be done right, and I'm not sure where I'm going wrong in terms of finding legitimate and ethical companies to work with who can still give me an edge in terms of competitive pricing. So, if you have experience having things made in China and you wouldn't mind helping me through this process, PLEASE contact me.
