I need info. on where to begin buying furniture wholesale from overseas, and shipped to my customers?
Q. Im having trouble finding an overseas wholesale furniture company that I can list their products on my web page for my customers to view and select their order. Then I will also need information on a secured online payment section where they can make a purchase. Finally, how I get my product I purchased to my customers address with a guarantee? Please help!
A. it sounds like you want to dropship furniture from an overseas manufacturer without having to warehouse anything. That is going to be difficult since most "reputable" overseas companies are going to have minimum orders (container sizes) since the cost involved in shipping one piece of furniture or even a bedroom set would be cost prohibited.
My question is why do you need an overseas operation to begin with? There are plenty of US companies that offer distributors discounts and will dropship product. All of the major furniture makers (ethan allen, broyhill, etc.) have closed up their US plants and are making the furniture overseas as it is. There are still some US companies that would welcome new distributers. Check out the furniture market in Highpoint NC for a listing of manufacturers.
If you insist on going oversees check out these websites: www.alibaba.com; www.fuzing.com or www.ttnet.net They list various companies with thousands of products for import.
As far as a secured online payment, if you are a startup I suggest using Paypal's shopping cart feature. THat way you don't actually need a merchant account and can accept virtually any kind of payment. It is a little involved to download to your website but doable.
If you are dropshipping you will always run the risk of your supplier back ordering a product at which point you need to stay ontop of your customer service and either issue a refund or keep them informed. It has definitely caused problems for some people selling on ebay! You really need to be confident in your supplier and his supplies before listing a product for sale.

Help with wedding registry.?
Q. The problem is that we have lived together for over 4 years, so to register for toaster, mixers, coffee maker, etc. is silly because we already have them, and the like. What we would like is things that aren't realastic for a registry...bedroom set, livingroom furniture. If we were to put that in the registy for Ethan Allen, or similar, we would be locked into that store, when it is possible that another store could have something better and/or cheaper. China is not an option at this time, we live in a small apartment with no room or use for china. What do we do? It is suggested to register the honeymoon, I feel that is the same thing as registering for cash, which is tacky and tasteless. Please help us out.
A. personally I wouldnt register for anything. the purpose of registering for gifts is so people can get you things to help start you out. in your case...there is nothing you need. and to put stuff like a bedroom set and living room stuff would be tacky as you know nobody will buy you those things...they are just too espensive and will make you look greedy and tacky. and your right...a honeymoon or cash registry looks very tacky. I would just not ask for anything and if people ask what you want tell them there is nothing you need. and friends and family can tell people by word of mouth that there isnt really anything you need accept new furnature that your saving up to buy. they arent stupid...they will get the point its money you need and if they choose to give a gift then they will give money. there was nothing my hubby and I needed when we married and we didnt even want gifts either. some people didnt give any gift, some gave money and some people surprised us and bought gifts that we actually could use that never occured to us to ask for (a set of matching dishes, stainless steel pots and pans, a new vaccuum)
