00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:06,150
In this video I just want to briefly address the question that you've probably had at this point which
2
00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:09,790
is is it still possible to source from China right now.
3
00:00:09,810 --> 00:00:16,440
I want to make this video more broad and not necessarily say yes or no because this situation could
4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,930
change any of the next days again.
5
00:00:19,020 --> 00:00:25,170
For now I think the best way to find out if you can source from China is to go into amazon facebook
6
00:00:25,170 --> 00:00:25,990
groups.
7
00:00:26,190 --> 00:00:32,400
So just type an Amazon FBA John a couple of groups and you will find a lot of people asking the same
8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:38,670
questions and in the comments you will see either other people that have already ordered or you will
9
00:00:38,670 --> 00:00:40,530
find a lot of sourcing agents.
10
00:00:40,530 --> 00:00:46,260
Be careful here and don't trust every sourcing agent because everyone wants to do business even if they
11
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:47,370
can't deliver.
12
00:00:47,370 --> 00:00:50,010
We have to be careful in who we trust.
13
00:00:50,010 --> 00:00:55,110
So you could probably pay more attention towards other sellers and people that have already ordered
14
00:00:55,370 --> 00:00:56,770
in the past weeks.
15
00:00:56,790 --> 00:01:03,300
I would say maybe don't focus on people that ordered two or three months ago and also keep in mind that
16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,640
not only China might be affected but also your home country and the connecting flights between those
17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,190
countries lots of you will probably order your products to be afraid and a lot of the effort to ship
18
00:01:14,190 --> 00:01:17,000
the passenger planes and not cargo planes.
19
00:01:17,070 --> 00:01:23,340
So that means if passenger planes are being stopped from flying in between countries that means a lot
20
00:01:23,340 --> 00:01:27,300
of packages cannot be delivered for the current situation.
21
00:01:27,330 --> 00:01:33,000
And from what it looks like for the near future China seems to have stabilized and it is possible to
22
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,570
receive products from China.
23
00:01:34,710 --> 00:01:39,750
However you have to consider that there could be delays in production because of backlog that has happened
24
00:01:39,780 --> 00:01:44,670
because the factories had been closed for such a long time and it could also be delays in shipping as
25
00:01:44,670 --> 00:01:46,540
well as higher prices for the shipping.
26
00:01:46,620 --> 00:01:51,810
If you are planning to source from China right now a good strategy to minimize your risk especially
27
00:01:51,810 --> 00:01:57,960
if you are planning to buy a lot of products is to split your order into multiple parts and maybe buy
28
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,250
a smaller amount of units at the beginning and then purchase another load right after.
29
00:02:02,370 --> 00:02:08,280
And this will help you spread the risk because if the first lot has already been sent and you can confirm
30
00:02:08,310 --> 00:02:12,630
OK I'm actually receiving it and it's on the way you ordered the second box.
31
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,780
So if any inventory gets stuck at least it is not a super large volume and you're not tying up all your
32
00:02:18,780 --> 00:02:20,680
capital in that inventory.
33
00:02:20,970 --> 00:02:25,440
If you're working on a new product right now and you're just getting started this is also a good time
34
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:31,650
to just talk to factories plan your product go back and forth with them get some samples and then order
35
00:02:31,650 --> 00:02:33,960
your inventory once things go back to normal.
36
00:02:34,140 --> 00:02:40,590
However since the factories are back at work you will be able to communicate with them and do all your
37
00:02:40,590 --> 00:02:41,370
planning.
38
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,000
And so that should be no problem at all.
