Hi All,
I have just started going through Alibaba looking at potential items to import into Australia. Two items i am interested in are Seadoo's and second hand boats(well known brands) All Seadoo suppliers are from Indonesia and most boat suppliers as well. The prices seem very good, i have asked many questions but sometimes, when things seem to good to be true they usually are.
What questions should i be asking and how can i determine if the products are genuine and that if i purchase items they are actually going to arrive.
Anyone that can point me in the right direction would be great.

...you can think about following statement :
Indonesia has no Industry in this kind of merchandise !
Why do you think, that imported items in Indonesia could be cheaper than in the country of manufacturing or in your homecountry, one point is two times shipping costs !!!
All this Indonesian Scammer believe and are often right, that greedy buyers will take everything for sure, if they only see their profit and not think about that such a business is impossible !
No manufacturer sells something to Indonesia cheaper, because it is a wonderful country !
No manufacturer sells something to Indonesia cheaper, because they have so much poor people !
No manufacturer sell something to Indonesia cheaper, because they would not worry their wholesalers in other countries when their items could be reimported from Indonesia cheaper than they sell at home !!!
Who not believe this or deny it, may post and give a prove that I am wrong !
Buy furniture, plant oil, copra, charcoal and Batik in Indonesia thats the items you can buy cheap and with good quality if due diligence is used before !
