i have no idea which section this should go in, sorry guys. i just thought this one would have the most people who have shipped goods around.
i'm looking to import 5,000 case fans into the usa from hong kong. they'll be 100-per-box, of sizes 1 cubic foot (16 pounds - 80mm fans) to 2 cubic feet (36 pounds - 120mm fans), and from what i was told ("FOB HK by sea") i guess i'm responsible for getting them from a factory floor or dock in hong kong, to my doorstep in the usa. that includes customs, shipping, insurance, etc.
i don't even know where to start. googling for 'hong kong shipping usa' and such proved worthless, and the manufacturer doesn't want to take my money to get the fans all the way to me. has anyone been in this situation before?
thanks for any ideas.
