Default Question: dropship cell phones from Hongkong, anyone???

Hi,
I hope this question has not been posted before. My question is, is there a way to find a cell phone dropshipper in Hongkong?? I don't know if I am right or not. I think that the authentic Nokia phones are made actually in Hong Kong, not in Findland. And I think there must be some dropshippers in Hong Kong for Nokia phones (and other brand name phones).

I meant ... well ... if you buy direct from the Nokia factory or where the phones are being produced, I believe the prices would be much cheaper than the prices from a USA supplier (due to the shipping fee, the tax, etc)
By the way, you said you know a few ... may I contact you by email to talk more about this ? Thanks

OOps ... sorry , I was just guessing the place where the phones are produced. By the way, do you have a name in mind ? I would love to contact them and talk to them (if they can speak English). Thanks.

They may well be produced in Taiwan, the same as many branded products are produced in China. However, this does not mean they can be purchased wholesale from there. You will really need to find somewhere authorized for distribution; such as Hong Kong.

What you have to remember is, the factories produce the products on behalf of the brand owners and then the the brand owners distribute the products as they please. I would assume the likes of Nokia have their own factories anyway, but the same distribution terms will apply. The factory is not able to distribute anything, so its pointless (not to mention, dangerous) trying to source branded products straight from the factory.

Best to keep looking in Hong Kong, or the USA, like Pablow suggested.

No this is not the case with the suppliers we have there is very little difference in the price our suppliers offer in HK & the states.
