sigh....when u really start a small retail or wholesale business
you will find that almost all the competitors are ............
chinese ppl themselves..
most of the ppl ship the goods from the factories in china..not even throught the whole sale in china..
we r not easy to fight the 'china factory's price'
unless...you own the factory in china...or you have really good relation with those factories..
if not...dont go in those retail and wholesale..
this would be the tough and long way..
good luck
