(Sat Nav)
UK Customer service handled by me. All returns sent to UK address.
Hi guys,
Its been a few weeks since I last posted on the blog but just to let you know I am experimenting this time dropshipping products again on Ebay from Chinese suppliers. If you would like to purchase a very cheap Sat Nav for your car with preloaded maps then check out my Ebay listing here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151017471655?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
POSTAGE is FREE on this item and it will be delivered straight to your door. As there have been many changes in the Chinese Postal system relating to countries such as Russia especially, causing major delay sin postage of items, order to the UK seem to be still coming in and being delivered within a maximum of 21 days.
My Ebay listing says to wait a maximum of 60 days but this is just a worst case scenario preparation which rarely happens.

Longest Ever Aliexpress Transaction EVER! - Tablet PC's from China
Hi guys,
An order that I ordered, which I had a problem with a Chinese supplier on Aliexpress for the first time ever in using it, took 56 days to arrive for an item that I dropshipped from China to a customer in Russia who was furious and who could blame her.
I had sold the items on Ebay on November 1st 2012 and they sat in the Chinese Customs Depot apparantly for 43 days as the status had not changed on their website tracking of the parcel. I know the Chinese had brought some new Customs procedures in for exporting and importing but what the heck are they doing with the items while they sit there, loading up Angry Birds and having a few games at break time on them?
If every package took that long to send out from China then the country would be back logged for years as items I ordered from other suppliers and the same supplier as well all arrived within 14 days of ordering.
Even though the customer wanted a refund, when the items were released again from customs I asked if she still wanted them and she said yes she would take them but at a reduced cost so I gave her them for the price I bought them for minus about £5 off each one again. So she got 2 tablets for £60 and will be sending my the money on the 4th February. Overall I lost £10 in the transaction but would be better than losing the entire £70 altogether.
My advice would be even if it does take a long time to get something despatched and your dropshipping an item to someone, if anything goes wrong, try and contact the customer even if they have cancelled their order to try and recoup some of your losses. As the supplier kept saying he isn't refunding my order until the customer refused delivery of the items and he got them back, which could take another month due to China's slowish methods when and item from outside the country enters their customs system.
The worst part about the whole ordeal was, the items where not as described either as the specs of teh tablets did not match what the Android OS brought up in its settings so that was another salt into the wounds and thats where I gave the customer an extra £5 back on each tablet.
The rule here is its best to buy the items first instead of dropshipping I would advise, as relying on a foreign supplier, not just Chinese, it could befrom anywhere in the world, can seriously wreck your Ebay reputation big time.
Thanks guys, hope this was a help to you.

Michael Kors Handbags - Spotting Chinese Replicas
Hi Guys,
I seen on a few forums there are a lot of people complaining (as usual) that some Michael Kors handbags that they have purchased have turned out to be fakes and the people are furious etc etc (as usual) however as usual, when reading some of the forums posts, they are paying £45 - £65 for bags that are usually starting from about £150-£200 for the bottom of the range bag, up to near £1000.
Why people think and fall for and then complain that the very cheap bag they bought turns out not to be the really dear bag they thought it would be. No matter how good someone is at selling you it, you know no one in their right mind would give away a bag worth several hundred for a few measly pounds. Not even in a sale will you find an MK bag that cheap. In fact I don't think you would find one even in a closing down sale or bankrupt store cause everyone knows how much they are worth.
Luckily I am a guy so I don't need to buy handbags and even if I did have the need for it, I wouldn't buy one more than about a tenner :). However for people contemplating buying an MK bag online from Amazon, Ebay, Gumtree or classified ads, you may want to inspect the bag before purchasing to make sure your getting the real deal.
As usual I have been looking around the internet and gathered together some resources across different websites for you to look over so you don't get caught out by some wheeler dealer.
Here are some quick tips to determine if your bag is real or not:
- As with all designer handbags, price is a big indicator of what you’re buying. Michael Kors handbags range from the mid one hundreds and can go up to a thousand dollars. Research the price range for your purse. When considering an online purchase, stay away from bags listed below this price range.
- Look for the designer’s trademark square buckles and fixtures. All Michael Kors handbags, big or small, display these square accents.
- Authentic Michael Kors purses have multiple “MK” insignias on buckles, snaps and other metal parts.
- Authentic Michael Kors handbags are made from very fine quality materials and are superbly handcrafted. Although he’s only been designing accessories since 2001, MK bags are extremely well priced. You’re getting great value for your dollar when you buy an authentic Michael Kors purse.
- MK uses silver tone and gold tone hardware. This is a sturdy, shiny metal that feels very solid to the touch. Replica Michael Kors handbags usually use cheaper metals and plastic.
- Do a quality check. Again, MK uses only high quality materials and there’s a lot of attention being paid to the craftsmanship put into every Michael Kors bag. The stitching should be even, straight, perfectly aligned with seams and never loose. Large, uneven stitching is a sign of replica Michael Kors handbags.
- The stitching is the hardest thing for replicators to copy. Because it takes a lot of experienced, skilled labor, the stitching on replica Michael Kors handbags almost always comes up short.
- The inside of the bag is often made of a soft canvas-like material with leather trimming around the lining. The zippers, trim and seams are always stitched. If you see unstitched seams and tags, then you know they're being held together by glue, another sure sign of replica Michael Kors handbags.
- Visit a boutique or the official website and study the bag you want. Compare it to the one you’re planning on buying online. Compare all of the features. Are all of the buckles and insignias in the right place? Do they look like they should? All individual MK lines are designed the same with all their features in their respective places. If anything is out of place, red flags should be going up. When you know what you're buying, it's easier to identify replica Michael Kors handbags (see the above picture).
When purchasing MK handbags online, purchase from a reputable dealer. Read our section on how to avoid buying replica Michael Kors handbags for a resource list on what to look for when buying from an online retailer.
Another very important way of protecting yourself from suspicious sellers, especially on online marketplaces like eBay and Amazon, is to read their feedback and to review their return policy. If their bags are authentic, they’ll have no problem taking it back.
Read the listing carefully. Remember, if it’s described as “replica” or “designer inspired”, it’s not real.
Many Thanks for reading guys.
Henry
