DHgate.com

Prices on this site aren't extremely low, but they seem like a good resource for a newbie like me. Does anyone else have any experience with them?

Wholesale - Buy China Wholesale Products from Chinese Wholesalers on DHgate.com

Beware!

10 pieces is considered wholesale and free shipping...

Use caution when ordering from any Chicom website....Wholesalers, rarely have websites and if they do, they are not available to the general public...

Go to a large retailer and find out whom they purchase their products from...

More than likely, you will have to open an account and have a line of credit...

GL, and report back to us...

Welcome to RR.

May I suggest asking about DHgate over at thewholesaleforums.co.uk/forum/. That forum is more geared towards wholesalers then here at RR. I have seen more then a few mentions about them (DHgate) over there, some good and some bad. One thing to remember about Chinese sites is that you can not generally get brand name items from them.

We do have a ratings page for DHgate here at RR, but as yet no reviews.

Frostbite - can I ask what the funny bit about 10 pieces and free shipping is? I'm not quite in the know about the biz yet. Does that not seem like an okay deal?

I figure I could purchase some Lowepro 200 AW bags and turn them around for a quick profit. Am I just being naive?

Firstly, there is no thing as free shipping...Second, a true wholesale will involve purchasing hundreds of items or into the thousand of dollars...

As Master Nomaxim memtioned, you will be purchasing off brands, but if that works for you, PhotBitz, then by all means...Just remember, the site you listed is just another discounter and not a direct wholesaler...

The hunt continues then!

I'm only doing photo equipment because it is a hobby of mine, but is there a more practical product to start off with for a beginner?
