So I am trying to import some items from China… I know what the heck!?!
If you look at the labels on almost everything it is from China, I never saw this until I started this whole process.
Ok. So you want to know what it is? A wind turbine, yes and it is a big one. I just can’t help it it is a good price and it is the same one they sell in the USA for six times the price… Go figure.
The wind turbine at this price will pay the money back in ten months, not bad.
First thought on this is:
Should I learn Chinese? The emails might be much easier to understand and I could learn something at the same time. A lot gets lost in the translation and I have to ask so many questions that they are probably sick of me by now!
Second thought:
I have never done something like this before and I am scared to death they are going to rip me or something will go wrong and I am waiting for the other shoe to drop!!!
If it all works out though I will start importing them to sell through our company. This is a good product and at the right price (Not gouging people) they will save money in the long run and I will continue to be my same ol’ self employed person… company motto… Larry Darrel and Darrel – anything for a buck! LOL
So I will blog about how this adventure in importing goes – the good, the bad or the down right wonderful, you just new I was going to write ugly… hehehe! Think positive 🙂
Have a great Tuesday!

I will be interested how that comes out. How did you happen to find the turbine out of China. Were you looking on the Internet and one came up? It makes sense that things would be cheaper as labor costs are so much cheaper there. I know nothing about importing but would love to know more about it.

You are one interesting dude, Wolf. I can’t imagine there’s another blog anywhere where I can read such an assortment of jobs and projects. If I’m ever in Delaware, I’d li8ke to meet you.
Clicks,

Hi Cheryl
Kind of, there is a site just for companies to network and sell their goods.
I noticed that most of the windmills were coming from china anyway so I thought I would look.
I also wrote to one manufacturer and let them know that there wasn’t a china manufacturer of a grid tie inverter either that was UL listed for the USA now they have one and they are doing well. So that’s how I got started on this!
Thanks for stopping by

Hi Bud
