Guys! Need your best advise here! Just started my trading biz, and majority of the parts that i'm going to sell are available in the US and Europe(OEM). I'm going to deal with lots of them coz iba iba yung mga parts, and this will be the first time that i'm going to deal with them. Parts and contacts can be seen thru internet and they are known companies.
My questions :
1. What normally is the best mode of payment na safe thru this kind of transactions(Internet)? Or should i made a call coz anyway, contact numbers are available? (Medyo masakit lang sa bulsa yung overseas call).. Btw, i have already US$ account in the local bank, problema ko lang, ang laki din ng charge nila(Local bank) when i sent payment thru this bank.
2. Pwede kaya later on na humingi ako ng terms with those companies, maybe after 2 or 3 successful transactions? Kasi yung customer ko dito has 30 to 60 days terms also. In the meantime, abono muna ako..
3. How about the custom tax, pano ang computation ng tax?
4. What is the best courier na pwede gamitin? (Fedex, DHL, KWE.. etc).
Marami pa akong questions, pero ito na lang muna... Thanks mga ka tsikot!

Yes i agree! But the price is almost double already, specially if the manufacturers are from europe and US. That's why i prefer to buy directly from the manufacturer. My other question is ... will they sell to me or they will just forward my inquiry with their asian agent?

most likely you'll get a reply like: "please check with our dealer in your area".

pa-compute mo muna kung magkano magagastos mo o ng relatives mo for the S&H -- ang alam ko mas mura kung yung mga by sea, nga lang mas matagal. kung paisa-isa, baka makaligtas ka sa customs, pero kung bulto (e.g. 10x of item A, 15x of item B, etc., etc.)... talk to somebody in customs na lang para mas precise ang info. Then try mo compute kung magkano ang kalalabasan per item, kung far lower than yung mga dealer price na tinutukoy mo... then kikita ka. else, alam mo na kung saan nanggaling yung bulk ng discrepancy ng local dealer and us manufacturer...
or send the us manufacturer a letter of intent siguro to be their distributor or dealer...

Letter of credit or L/C is the safest but expensive, wire transfer is safe only on the side of the seller and cheaper - other forms of wire transfer is the WESTERN UNION money transfer.
Use this option ONLY if you trust the seller.

Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
