The payment method usually is T/T,30%payment before producing,70%before shippment.This payment way is easy and useful.L/C is a little boring and need pay much for bank and also easy to make mistake when making documents .

Hi,
I am based in China and can help you.
Please send me a personal message and I will advise you the process of do's and dont's when buying in China.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SEND ANY MONEY ON THE STRENGTH OF A PROFORMA INVOICE ONLY !
There are many scams going on at the moment in China and you have to be dilligent with your supliers.
Have them checked in the first instance, and only pay a deposit AFTER you have received a sample of what you will be getting.
I look forward to receiving your personal message to give further advice.
Best of luck
Sarah

Not sure if that's going to be cost effective to air freight but let me know if you can give me a quote.

B) If I was looking at another smaller sample shipment say around 15 kg, can you also tell me how much that might cost to Melbourne from Shenzhen(door to door). Product cost will be approx. $300US

C) Thanks for your feedback on shopping carts, I am still reviewing my best option and using buying a skin is something I am considering also.

Sprinkerz, could you tell me a bit more about your services and company? I am interested in your services which sounds attractive.

PO
1) General Purchase order question??: When I send my PO to my supplier in China, form a tax/accounting & shipping point of view does it matter what currency I state on the PO. The quote is in US dollars, so do I just send a PO in US dollars or does it need to be converted to AU dollar??
