Ridiculously High Sample Fees

[Gravy South]

So I have had a few products in my mind which I want to import them from China. I have already received a few invoices and they are waiting for my payment. However they are simply way too expensive and sometimes a supplier charge more than $100 of freight cost. The product unit cost are at least 3 times higher than supposed unit cost match by the MOQ. I know they are annoyed by all the opportunists who try to get stuff on the cheap, but these ridiculous prices would only push away their potential buyers

So does anyone have any tips on how to negotiate a much more reasonable fee? Anyone who is trying to play the import game experiencing this as well?
