Episode 8: China Trade Show Trip Details


Listen Later

Today I’m flying solo again, but I have a great email to share with you. Jay from New Jersey sent me some questions about my recent trip to China. For those who didn’t know I have covered this extensively in our blog and the last episode. But today I’m going to answer Jay’s questions and hopefully encourage other listeners to send in more feedback.

We went to China to check out both the Canton Fair and the Hong Kong Mega Show. It was a great experience and even though I was a little disappointed in one of my niche market searches I still found some great deals for some of our other brands.

Jay asked some awesome questions. Here are some of the topics I covered in today’s episode:

  1. How did I get a visa?
  2. What did I buy?
  3. What did I buy at the show that excited me?
  4. Did I save money on products?
  5. How long will shipments take?
  6. What currency was I asked for?

These questioned opened the door to some deeper discussion and I tried to answer them to the fullest I could and still be comfortable, These are some of the tips I have:

  • When you purchase a Chinese visa, go ahead and pay for a 10 year pass.
  • Why projected shipment times are never accurate.
  • Why I always pay my first payment with Paypal.

If you are still curious about my trip to China, you can read more on our blog at ecomcrew.com. Also check us out on iTunes and leave an honest review of the show. We want to know if our content helps you and your honesty is the only way to know. Next time Grant should be back to discuss the inspection process with me. Until then, special thanks to Jay from New Jersey for today’s questions!
