Hi Chantal,Thank you so much! You give such valuable information. I will definitely keep this in mind. I sent an inquiry to a Chinese supplier yesterday, however, I think they're actually a trading company. *Sigh* I see why you don't recommend Alibaba.... I don't trust this site either, but I can't find any other suppliers with the products I want.
Some people think I am being mean because I won't publish details of the safe sites that I recommend in my book as an alternative to Alibaba, DHGate, Tradekey and the like, but as those who use my book have found, there is a lot more to safe product sourcing than just knowing which safe sites to use.
I have helped quite a few Fastlaners locate products that they have found on Alibaba, but they have been unhappy with the dubious suppliers there. Unfortunately I am becoming overwhelmed by such requests, so I have to draw the line now.
This highlights one reason why I don't give my book away free. The support I give to my book readers is very time consuming, and my trained support team (who are paid) are also kept busy.
I can assure you that if the products are available from suppliers on Alibaba, it will almost certainly be possible to find trustworthy real manufacturers elsewhere, but for newbies without training that can be a very slow process.
