7. How to avoid fraud on Importation Businesses

A lot of newcomers are afraid to be deceived when buying goods on the Internet. But, in truth, rarely very few faced such a problem.

It doesn’t matter if you buy goods on Alibaba, Aliexpress, or Dhgate, a vendor cannot take money without sending a product. Such type of Internet platform requires providing the suppliers’ ID cards, data about the company's registration. Then each year they make a certain payment for the right to sell on these platforms.

8. How to keep out of problems with quality and quantity

It happens often that supplier sends poor quality goods than you expected. 

In some cases you can get less than ordered.

Be careful when looking for Internet suppliers. It's worthwhile to focus not only on the low price for your good profit in retail. In this case, you risk getting bad quality products. Even if you want to return the goods, the cost of transporting back is high, and most vendors-sellers don’t agree to a refund.

Pay attention to the positive or negative seller’s feedback. Its rating on Internet platform can tell a lot to customers. You should make deals with sellers who have 90 percents of medium positive feedback rating or higher. Before paying money for the goods, do not be lazy to read the comments.

Besides, we recommend you read the descriptions and details of goods. Also, don’t miss vendor’s guarantees and terms of delivery. As a rule, they are placed at the bottom of each product page. Make sure if the goods you’re buying have specifications you’re looking for.

Times, when Chinese goods were only associated with poor quality, have already passed. Many world brands have their factories for manufacturing of high-quality goods in Asia. Try to make deals with companies that have a good reputation. Today the World Wide Web helps to find all the necessary information about the manufacturer.

Conclusion:

As it turns out, importing products from abroad to Ghana is a profitable business indeed. But to be successful you must be clear about why you want to do it, and have a plan of how you will be successful.

There’s a lot more to the importation business than just shipping any old product. To sum it up, here is what I learned from importing goods from abroad to ghana, and what I think you should learn as well.
