Sourcing - Part 2

I've officially ordered the first wave of tinynods from China. 

I updated r/nightvision. 

A lot of guys are interested and a lot of guys are saying "buy them from amazon or aliexpress". 

Look I'm going to level with you. 

You can go buy these at aliexpress for like $5 plus shipping. I'm not stopping you. I just want to remove that part of the process and import them for you. 

Anyways, I have placed the first batch order. 

100x black tiny nods. 

100x tan tiny nods. 

Tan me just over $1k, with shipping and import duties. 

Here's what the AliExpress Order pipeline looks like: 

1. Place order. 

2. Receive confirmation. 

3. Wait. 

4. Receive an overseas tracking number if lucky. 

5. Track order from overseas to customs. Tracking number stops. 

6. Wait. 

7. Receive domestic DHL tracking number, if lucky. 

8. Track order from customs port to your door. 

9. Receive item. 

10. If the order was received within 75 days, confirm order "received" in AliExpress. If order is not confirmed received within 75 days, order will automatically be updated to "received". 

I ordered the tiny nods yesterday morning. 

I am currently in phase 2 of the pipeline.

Here's what I ordered, the store I ordered from, and what they cost BEFORE shipping and customs taxes:

NOW I must source packaging, a shipping label printer, paper, stickers to include with the order, AND possibly a tiny bag or box to put in the packaging. 

Looks like I can basically roll my own tiny shipping facility for a few hundred more dollars. 

I won't be able to gauge shipping package size until I receive the new inventory, though. 

Hurry up and wait!
