1st time buying direct from china

[Kerrywerrywoo]

Hi I hope someone can advise me. I recently started selling jewellery and have found a wholesaler on alibaba.com with costume jewellery I wish to purchase in small quantities. They accept paypal which I believe is one of the safest ways to pay (?). My query is what fees can I expect if I spend say £500 - £1000 when the goods arrive in the UK ? I have never bought overseas and am a little scared to be honest! Lol.....any other advice would be gratefully accepted.

Thankyou

Luckily I'm only ordering a box not a container so won't be needing freight forwarding

You just need to pay some tax to your custom as well as some delivery charge from the port to your destination.But if your quantity is small ,I suggest you may ask your supplier to send by air express which save your time.And the best saving way is ask your supplier pay the delivery charge in China as they will get good discount.

haha..ask them to put gifts instead of listing every thing in the box if your parcel is not sooooooooooo big...some times it just go through courier directly to ur door..no any extra custom/tax charges...(but it really depends!!!!i ve been charged 30pounds for a parcel which actually a gift worth40pounds!!!!)
