Supplier only accepts wire transfer?

jonto15 · 07-01-2009, 01:27 PM

I have came across a supplier who is in the us and can supply me with mobile phones.
He only accepts wire transfer "i no what your thinking"
He says i can do cash on collection but i am in the uk and he is in the us.
He has given me two tracking numbers for previous items he has sent, but i no that could be anything.

What else should i ask for?

Prices don't look too good to be true but you still need to do much more research but it's a start good luck.

I don't think that delivery factors in your customs vat so if you look at the iphones it works out
$594 or £389.67 delivered then 15% vat which works out around £448!

for an 8gb? thers better prices in the marketplace for a 16gb! less the hassle of shipment from another country.

Hi Jonto,

No need to buy from the US, there's plenty of us in the UK.

Here's some info that may help
