hi all, i've been trying to buy some digital photo frames from China.
As i'm chinese myself, i've been able to find manufacturers directly and have contact with them. But then i found their price is even higher than the brokers.
Any of you here have experience in dealing with China manufacturers? And if you dont mind, what was ur final deal price compared with their quotation price?
Thanks.

How many units were you suggesting to purchase at a time?

As Anthony asks what sort of numbers were you looking to buy? For example if you are buying a small amount and a broker is buying thousands then of course they will be getting am uch better price than you.

If you buy small quantity, the cost of shipping them here is more expensive. you know that right?
If you have volume of more than 1/2 container, you can get a better price. cheers

it really depend on your quantity, the factory donot like the retail order.

thanks for all your replies.
i was looking on 500-1k but their discounts on bulk buy are stupidly small
say there was a model, sample price is 165RMB and 5k price is 160RMB...

You can certainly get better discounts ordering that many.
Shop around.
