Hi all,

In my full-time job (selling promotional merchandise) we order directly from China. But there is also companies that we can use to order from China. Once that basically source items from China for us therefore not having as much risk to ourself. Would it not be better for newbies to use companies that source directly from China for you?

Definitely.

If you have no confidence in your own techniques to source/root out good suppliers, agents can be very helpful, if a little expensive.

By the way, I think your website is coming along very well indeed.

If it's promotional items such as key rings,mouse mats etc. cant you get them in the uk? or does it work out cheaper from china?

Think i might have just answered my own question tho!

Indeed you have. Unbranded goods are very cheap in China.
