Hi, fellow traders!


I was just wondering if anyone has tried to buy original Nokia, HTC or LG or any other kind of branded phones from China.


There seem to be a lot of companies who offer to sell original Nokia phones on a very low price but I am very skeptical of that.


Has anyone had a good/bad experience of buying 'branded' phones in China? Were they really the original phones or just knockoffs?

 

I ordered one as a sample- this was Nokia 6288i they were selling it for $125. that was announced price for that phone. I transferred them money using Western Union and in two weeks I recieved another phone which is triple time cheaper then mentioned above. (I can buy this phone in my country in brand shop and still it will be cheaper). For now I cannot connect with them.... but please notice that this is my experience. probably you'll find someone better. Be carefull.

Thank you so much AUSSIE!  Since posting the question I have read a lot of yours and other contributors' posts and am convinced that at least Alibaba if not China is not the way to go.

Advice. Start with Brightpoint, Inc. and check for the post of suppliers by RANGER.

Dear friend :

I am sorry to hear that !

In my mind if it was original products if will not be so cheap ,do you think so ? Except it is high imitation mobile phone or it is parallel cell phones!

So just make what you need and decide to choose the supplyers !

Good luck dear friend

Since my last post on this topic I have attended trade shows and met, as well as done business with many suppliers.  I provide my knowledge at a price to those you want to avoid the pitfalls of being scammed or attempting to learn the business from the begining.  Contact me via TradeManager or via my contact details, click my picture.
