Hi

I'am new in the industry so I will appreciate any inputs by people familiar with importing goods.

I'am situated in the UK and I'am looking to buy external hard drive (Western Digital in particular). Being in the UK, would it be cheaper to go through a wholesaler in the UK as I don't plan to buy quantity superior to 20 at a time at first or would you advise me to look overeseas?

Also I'am interested to import 2.5" external hard drive and drive enclosure 2.0 (11.5 cmx1.0 cmx7.0 cm). I believe that Hitachi or Samsung might be a good choice. If someone could communicate a few company names, it would save me a lot of time. If not, what should be the countries the more appropriate to work with. I went on site like Alibaba but there is a lot to choose from and being novice I want to avoid bad choices.

Thank you in advance

I would go overseas, its a lot cheaper. Buying one or two sometimes can even be cheaper.

Im in exactly the same position as you! I am currently looking for a supplier to do exactly the same. I will let you know if I find anything.

Out of interest, where abouts in the uk are you?
