Hi, guys, i saw many people here want to buy some stuff from china, and fear to be scammed. So Im thinking maybe i can do something. If you think that could work, just reply. If not, then forget about it???

First thing i want to say is im a chinese and living in UK currently. So i have many contacts in china. IF any of you want to buy anything from china, you can let me look for it for you. For doing that, you better tell me the price and quantity you will take, coz you know ur business better than me. I will not take any commissions for that, but I will look for the products based on your requirements . So if i am able to find the right product which also give me some profit, I will help you import them, otherwise, i wont do it (if im not losing money, i may help you, but i dont want lose money. hope you understand).

But here are some thing I need to say:
1, quantity. you all know the cheapest way to buy products is to contact the manufacture directly. but many manufactures have MOQ (minimum order quantity). so the quantity you need is very important, it also affects the price. if you are buying a small amount, i can only look for it from market. but that may not be a problem, coz as long as i got the products with the price you are looking for, the source may not be that important, right?
2, quality: I dont know how you guys check the quality of the products before buying them when you are buying from china. Always sending samples is quite annoying, especially the product is very low value and you are not buying a lot. But if you insist sample needed, that is fine, but i wont pay for them. I may go back to China to check them for you if there are many people want me to help them here(I will go back in 3 months anyway for chinese new year), or let my friends check, but still in that way, i cant guarantee you like it as I like``````
3, brand products: I have no ability to get any brand products for you, coz I have no clue about where I can find cheap brand products in China currently.

That is just a thinking of mine. I just want to do some business and not a scammer. If you dont think this is secure to do business with me, then we can find a secure way.Maybe we can talk face to face, btw, i live in Hertfordshire. Actually, i have no idea if this way could work, id like to hear some of your opinions.

i think for people in UK, if I think you can be trusted, I can pay the part of the products first, and you pay me when you collect them from my place or after you got the products``````

but i saw you living in US`````` em``` i dont know``` what guarantee do you want from me?

uh``` about this topic, although I have not been scammed by them yet, my experience may not be helpful to some of you guys.
The Chinese I dealt with were all manufactures, maybe that is much safer, coz they wont cheat you on small amout money, also they are looking for long term relations. But maybe some chinese scammers will tell you they are manufactures, but actually they are not. Then you can check online to find out if they are the only source of this product. If you can find the same product from somewhere else, ask the "manufacture" the reason and where they sold them to, etc.. Once you confirmed they are manufactures, the possibility of being scammed should be lower.
Of course that is not 100%, so I think giving them a call is a good idea. But communication may be a problem for you guys. For me, that is not a problem, also they may not have the courage to scammed me coz im chinese. You guys as a foreigner, far away from them, cant get enough information, surely can be scammed easier. However, if the business involves big money, I will prefer sending someone to check them, even go there by myself. That is 100%.
