yeah,i think if you want to imoprt from China ,the first thing must make it clear all the cost in U.K and the shpping cost.That will be useful for you to know the retail Price.and if that it is competitive to the Items in local market.
For me.i am from China.some customers also purchase from us,We totally know situation of our customers,and business is avail.so from the supplier,they of course hope their clients will benefit,that also mean the long term business relationship.SO IF could they also will to make thier ultra-effort to help thier customers out.
