Original vs. OEM
Post 1 of 4

Hi

I have been looking on Alibaba for a supplier of original Made in Finland Nokia phones, especially the N95 8GB. I have got quotes form certain suppliers (Trust Pass and Golden Suppliers) who gave me price ranges from $230 - $375 per piece. I am very surprised with such a difference in prices for the same phone and it makes me think that most of them are offreing OEMs. Can any one tell me what should I do  because I do not want to let my buyers down by sending them fake mobile phones. Apparently, thats what one Golden Supplier told me - they are not allowed to sell OEMs. Is that true? And why do all of them only accept T/T and not PayPal? Is it a common practice for Golden Suppliers to trick you?[em4] Could any one suggest a supplier that deals with 100% original Made in Finland Nokia mobiles? Help me guys [em17]

First off your not going to find an Original anything of a brand name from Finland in China.  Retail in HK the price of that model is from 755.00USD to 800.00USD.  No legitimate distributor can offer you a price at wholesale of 40%-50% discount.  The margins are not that good on Cell phones.  Not even for name brand supply chain distributors capable of selling 10s of thousands of that specific model.

Be careful on this, as you could hardly find any in China. They only did "Original" brand, even if they are the OEM supplier; they would also need pay royalties to the original brand owner. There's no shortcut in the world

If you are re-seller, then try go for genuine distributor, the profit margin might be lower but it's better than tarnishing ur reputation.
