Professional Buyers – The Opportunity to Purchase Goods from America Quickly, Easily, and at Optimal Prices

A few years ago, the opportunity to buy goods abroad, particularly from the United States, became a true boom for both individuals and businesses. Many companies and individuals emerged, promising to purchase and deliver any item from abroad at significantly lower prices. Intermediaries were referred to in various ways: "box movers," "forwarders," etc. Any new company, barely entering the market, became known on numerous forums and other online resources.

But the main paradox is that in the USA, being a buyer is a legitimate profession. Why? Because skillfully and profitably purchasing and delivering a crucial and recently available laptop to a customer is a whole art.

In America, to be recognized as a professional buyer, one must possess a number of specific qualities:

Quickly find exactly what the client is interested in;
Have a high level of general erudition, allowing one to understand everything from technology to jewelry, children's and adult clothing, etc.;
Have the ability to continuously monitor prices;
Be aware of modern trends;
Have knowledge of delivery mechanisms to different countries;
Know the tax laws of the countries one works with;
Possess the skills of a good psychologist;
Have a high degree of stress resistance;
Be able to work only with specific companies;
Be able to handle large shipments.

As you can see, not everyone can become a buyer. Additionally, there are two main misconceptions regarding the possibility of purchasing goods from abroad, particularly from America. These misconceptions are so often present among novice buyers that we decided to elaborate on them a bit more.

Main Misconceptions That Prevent You from Becoming the Happy Owner of a Long-Awaited New Product

With years of experience in purchasing goods, we have concluded that the most common misconceptions include the following:

In the states, you can purchase absolutely anything and do so almost instantly with just a few clicks;
The operations of American companies are similar to the workings of Swiss watches.

The first point is more of a myth than reality. Of course, we will make every effort to find, help buy, and carefully deliver the available product, but unfortunately, despite many years of experience in this field and knowledge of numerous nuances, US Business Services Corp. is by no means all-powerful. The reason is quite banal and prosaic compared to what one might think at first glance. The fact is that the production of goods in the USA is planned, and in terms of drafting and executing these plans, it can only compete with the planning of the Soviet era. Before a product hits the market, it goes through numerous marketing calculations that provide answers to questions such as: how profitable is this product, will there be stable demand for it, how long, and how many units need to be produced, etc. Moreover, the planning department of the manufacturing company may conclude that it is not profitable for the company, and even the product announced for production may never make it to the assembly line.

What Wholesale Buyers Need to Know

The situation is even more complicated when it comes to purchasing an entire batch of products. Here, everything depends on who the manufacturer is. If it involves large-scale production, where product release schedules are drawn up almost a year in advance, “squeezing in” with your order among the main competitors will be quite challenging. However, it is certainly not impossible. The main solution is to acquire the product from distributors or dealers, but finding suitable and reliable ones will naturally take some time. Additionally, certain difficulties may arise, such as:

There is no 100% guarantee that the quantity of goods you are ordering will be available from any given supplier;
A significant increase in transportation costs due to purchasing products in smaller batches;
A potential significant increase in prices for the products you need, as the distributor understands that you are ready to purchase the product “here and now”;
The lack of in-house production for many products. It is no secret that the lion's share of products is manufactured in "third world" countries or simply procured, for example, in Europe;
The possibility of serious delays even when ordering directly from the manufacturer.

Large-scale manufacturers tend to produce goods only for 3-4 months after they hit the market. After that, they dedicate all their time to developing new products. Therefore, there is a significant risk of simply “missing out” on acquiring a product directly from the manufacturer. It may turn out that when attempting to purchase a product, it has already been out of production for a year. Unfortunately, finding remnants of this product is not always successful. But when they are found, we can most likely expect a low cost for the product, as distributors generally hurry to clear their warehouses of "overstocked" goods.

If we are talking about small-scale production, things are much simpler. Additionally, a “smaller manufacturer” typically values their reputation more: it is important for them to release and sell as many units of product as quickly as possible.

Aside from the aforementioned challenges, when ordering goods from the USA, it is almost 100% necessary to account for expenses related to product storage, handling, the presence of goods in consolidation warehouses, container loading, etc.

If you are planning to purchase goods in the states for the first time, and even a “small batch,” so to speak, “for trial,” plus you have limited time, you need to have very serious purchasing skills to fully satisfy your order.

Another complication is that most large manufacturing companies in the USA are willing to sell goods exclusively to American companies or only ship to American addresses, or both. Europeans are offered to purchase products at their branches located in Europe, naturally at a somewhat higher cost with a significantly reduced selection. For example, in America, this product costs 100 US dollars per unit, while in Europe, it is already 100 Euros.

What You Need to Know for Successful Goods Purchasing

As we can see even from this brief overview, there can be a multitude of nuances in product purchasing. To navigate if not all, then most “underwater rocks,” you need to know a lot of things that may sometimes seem just fantastic. For example:

Where to find products at a lower price than from the manufacturer;
How to purchase goods for a certain percentage markup (you might be surprised to find that this is a common and widespread practice when dealing with manufacturers in the states);
How to significantly reduce overhead costs;
How to minimize transportation costs within the states or even eliminate them entirely;
How to make storage costs minimal;
How to profitably and reliably insure goods (Insurance);
How to check products for compliance with all norms and standards of the country you intend to deliver them to;
How to profitably export goods;
How to minimize customs duties;
How to reclaim duties paid by the importer during the re-export of goods;
How to ensure significant commissions during purchasing;
How to properly and reliably package goods for transportation;
What documentation to gather and prepare for customs clearance of the goods.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of questions; knowing the answers to them will help you purchase the desired products as profitably as possible.

However, not knowing even one nuance can lead to significant losses, especially when it comes to ordering a large batch of goods. You will discover this at the stage of almost shipping or delivery when there will be no opportunity to cancel or adjust the order.
