retail orders even if you choose low shipping rates. For what we import we

use DHL,, UPS etc. The problem is the first kilogram is quite expensive.

Even with careful group shipping we add as much as 33% to our costs.


you are going to have to carry inventory.>>

That it is too expensive is a safe bet, but we can only know for sure when
our customers tell us so. There is a company in Minnesota doing a dynamite biz
washing the very expensive bedsheets of celebrities and big shots.

The help fedexes the sheets from LA or NY or wherever every 2 or 3 days to
Minnesota where they are washed in soap (something that is hard to find
nowadays) and airdried, then ironed and fedexed back. These folks have enough
sheets
to do this. The laundry makes a killing.

So leave it to the custoemrs to tell you it costs too much.

Whe customers do say "just too high price" they are either comparing, or
simply won't pay that. If they are comparing, then you are njot unique. If it
is just too much, then it may be because, as in the instance of tea fedexed
from china, it just ain't worth it to the customer.
