Prepare for import and export costs. The manufacturer's price is only the beginning. They charge shipping or handling. The shipping company charge for their shipping. Then, there are customs or duties. And finally, warehouse and trucking charges.
We sell larger items and have our customer pick up their item at the warehouse. We charge them for their item and shipping, then we order from the manufacturer using the customers money.
We reserve the shipping and customs payment for when the item is at the customer's port. The customer, then, picks up their item, pays warehouse and any trucking they will need. This saves us from overnighting payments to trucking and warehouse companies. Also, the customer is local to their pick up situation. They can look for their best deal on a truck if they hire one.
The customers don't seem to mind paying for their item, then paying a small fee when obtaining their item because they are doing some of the footwork. It breaks up the cost for them.
Just have to be honest with the customer about the time they will wait for their item. If they want it quicker, they'll have to pay more. Because, then the seller has to add on those warehouse, overnight mail, and trucking fees to the sellers location. Then add on trucking to the customer's location.
Hope this was helpful.

personal foreign trade is not so easy, for client, goods,payment,a lot of trouble. I think the common situation is become agent between factory and client. And first of all, you'd better have immobility client in hand or you can search and cooperation with they buyer quickly.

Just have a try. Nothing impossible. What's important is to believe yourself. Maybe we can talk more about this, and maybe there will be chance for us to do business in the future.
