Alibaba Hair Vendors Faqs

Hey y'all, so first thing first, I know y'all looking at me, crazy, like. Why did you even cut the lace off? Well, I just made this week and this week is for sale and I just cannot seem to take the wig off like I love it. I almost don't want to sell it, so that's why I have it on. I don't know what the hell's wrong with me. I just can't take it off. I love anywho, happy Sunday, I'm just chillin in bed and shop and see waiting on my food to finish. Cooking - and I remember that I promise y'all a video or an Ali Baba, all right, so I know last week I said I was gon na make another video on Alibaba and I just never got to it, but that doesn't mean I was never gon na make A video at all, I wrote down some chicken stretch, just some questions that I was asked about. Alibaba, because I know I made two different videos on Alibaba. So if you haven't watched them make sure you watch them, I have the first one how to find a dinner le blah blah, and then I have the second one, how the context of endor using West's app - and I know I still confused a lot of people. I gave out a lot of information, but I understand if you some of you, want more details. You want me to go more into depth, so I wrote down two questions I was asked. I was only asked for two. I was only asked like 12 13 questions, so I'm just gon na go ahead and go down. Like answer the questions, how do you see what the hair looks like on Alibaba? I don't see a review section. Well, yes, Alibaba! There'S no review section. You know how you are Ali experience, you can go down and see the reviews. You can see all the customer reviews and their personal photos and stuff. They don't have that on Alibaba. The pictures that you see are the pictures that the vendors post and, if you want to see a review on that vendor, you literally have the Google search the company's name and review. So let's say a vendors name is beautiful version here on Alibaba I will go to Google and I'm a Google search, beautiful virgin, hair reviews, okay and if anything, pops up usually is like a beware. Buyer list or like some type of forum, hair forum or it might be a YouTube video, that's how you find out if they have bad reviews. Also, if you, because a lot of the vendors on Alibaba they like to use the stock photos, I'm like you saying, stock, I'm just that's just the country like the country doesn't mean just a stock like somebody's being stalked like you stopping somebody. I mean stock like stock professional white background photos, okay, so a lot of vendors use the stock photos and it's hard to see what the hair actually looks like so the easy fix today you just when you send them the inquiry or when you're communicating with them Back and forth say: hey, can you send me real pictures out of here? Like I know these are the professional stock photos? Can you send me an actual photo of the hair, so so yeah? That'S how you would go about doing that. Another question: do you need a whole sellers license for Alibaba? No, do you need a wholesalers license when you order clothes from fashion /? No, so it's the same like it's just up on my website that you make purchases through like you, don't need a wholesalers license for it. It doesn't even ask you for a wholesalers, license you're, simply ordering something online. Okay, that may cost you $ 100 that may cost you five hundred dollars, depending on how much you're purchasing but you're simply just ordering something online. You don't need a whole sellers license for that most vendors. I see an increase to want me to give them my west apps number do I need to create my and my person Pam, I love whatsapp. It is the best way to communicate with any whole seller any vendor because we're in the United States. These vendors are in China, India or whatever the hell else they are from or wherever they live baby. There are only different side of world. So right now it's bright outside the lighting. This is natural sunlight wherever there is dark. So, what's app is kind of like a text messaging app. Your whatsapp number is your actual phone number, but instead of them contacting you directly through your phone number, they just use the app, and this is just a way to be able to communicate with your vendor. All around the clock, okay cuz - they might not be at work - they might not be at a computer at work to where they can answer your questions. But if you have whatsapp, they can answer your questions. Wan na be at home off the clock, sleeping while they're in bed watching movies with their wife or their husband boyfriend/girlfriend. They can get alert and see that you're asking them questions pretty much. So I love whatsapp. It just makes them more personal, quick all that good stuff. So do you technically meet it? No, but it's convene how long does it take them to respond back, why it takes so long for them to reply? Well, like I just mentioned they're on the other side of the world, so we're it's pretty much night and day, you might send them a message and they won't respond to 12 to 18 hours later. It'S pretty much because of the time difference. Actually, they are ahead of us they're like a day ahead of us and time. So right now is Sunday, but it's already Monday, where they're at because of the time difference. So that's why it takes long now, if you sent two in Corrine and a whole day has passed, and it's not even a weekend like it's a regular day of the week and you're going on like two days and you haven't received any response. Man, that's not the vendor, for you just scratch them off the list. It'S really that easy, a lot of y'all make it seem like once you find a vendor. You just stuck well. If they not responding back to you, that's not a good sign. What happens when you need hair from them like ASAP, you put in the order with them, and they don't respond back to five days later. You already had these people money and you're trying to place your order. They just mmm just go ahead and throw the whole bender wait. It is so many vendors on Alibaba, like it's so many you're not committed to any of these vendors like you, can leave a vendor at any time during the process and get a new vendor. So if so many vendors in Alibaba, I mean it might be a hundred thousand or more vendors, so being stuck on one vendor and just find another vendor. Okay, um Kim, I negotiate prices. No, you cannot negotiate prices. Oh no! You cannot negotiate prices. This isn't like a farmers market, this isn't like no, they already have their set prices if their prices are too high for you find another vendor. It'S that simple. This isn't like your bidding boar. I don't know like you. They already have their price. Would you like, for one of your customers to negotiate a price with you? No, it's like it's the same way. You can't negotiate prices, can't vendors, send you the hair and bulk, and you sell and ship the hair. Yes, the vendor can see the vendor Wilson. You have a much hair that you're asking for so with me. I don't keep any hair on inventory, so the vendors that I choose, I make sure that they allow simple orders and a order. Pretty much means small order. So, every time I say a simple order, that means a small order of 1 2 3 bundles minimum. Okay, a lot of people think a simple order me just gon na get a simple piece of hair. That'S not what I mean at all. A sample is just a sample. Order means one two or three bundles and you still have to pay for it, so you nervous will send you, however, much hair that you pay for, and you can do whatever you want to do with it. If you want to keep inventory on hand, yes by alright and both I found a few vendors, but the shipping price is a little high. How much does your vendor charge for shipping okay, so this is where I've been getting. Has this question a lot? A lot of people are concerned about the high, so a lot of people been asking about the shipping price like everybody's kind of shocked, likewise shipping so much, but you have to understand International shipping is expensive. Vendors are getting your hair to you in two to five days, so this is Express international shipping. Yes, it's expensive, it's supposed to be, you know like it's supposed to be expensive, is Express international shipping, and this shipping charge is never going to be the same. It'S all determined on weight, so if your package weighs more, the shipping cost is going to be more. It'S the same way if you were to ship out your own packages, the more your package way, the larger your package is the more it costs to ship expect. Your shipping cost should be anywhere between 15 to about $ 60, depending on how much you're ordering yes, it's going to cost a lot. Okay, a lot of y'all are just used to Aliexpress because when Aliexpress they give you free shipping, but really the shipping isn't free because they add the shipping cost to the hair that you just purchased. So it makes you feel like you're getting shipping for free but you've already paid for shipping, because it's already included in the price of hair, so that kind of ties into the question people ask me: you know the vendors are so much money for shipping. So if the, for example, the vendor charges you $ 20 for shipping, so does that mean you're gon na charge, your customers $ 20 for shipping? No, why would I could charge my customers $ 20 for shipping? My customers pay six or seven dollars for shipping, something like this six. I think it's six dollars for shipping and the remainder of the price like when you come up with your price list for your hair company. Shipping expense should have been something you consider when you were coming up which are priceless for your company, and this is also something I mentioned in another video that I have on this page called. How do I come up with my price list? I have a video, so if you want more details on how to come up with a price list check out that video, okay, but yeah, it's just already something. That'S calculated into my priceless. I feel like they overcharged. How much is too much to pay for a sample? I think I kind of already answered this. A simple, pretty much means you're paying for a one bundle. Two bottle three bundles a hair. However much hair you're getting a sample, pretty much means a small order. So if you want it to sample a 12 and a 14 inch, then pretty much your pain for a whole 12-inch bumble in a whole 14-inch bumble plus shipping. So are they charging too much they're, not charging too much? That'S just the price of a whole bundle and the cost of shipping. I'M confused. You commented that Aliexpress and Alibaba are the same company. You said that you would stay away from Aliexpress, because a lot of people are purchasing and the quality goes down. If these companies are the same, when Alibaba have bad quality hair too now this is a great question, but what it is Aliexpress is an extension of Alibaba, so Alibaba is so much more bigger than Aliexpress, say. Baba is more so for whole sellers Aliexpress is more like retail. However, you can still do retail through Alibaba as well, because obviously I always make small orders with my vendors. The thing is: Aliexpress is very easy to use it's pretty much straightforward. You know what the prices are. You don't have to send inquiries to vendors. You don't have to go back and forth asking a million questions about the hair Aliexpress. Pretty much makes it an Express process because of that Aliexpress Aliexpress is very popular. It'S very easy to use all of the youtubers have Aliexpress reviews. There aren't no reviews on YouTube about Alibaba. Oh really right. Nobody choosing Alibaba, because it's to come, it's quote-unquote, too complicated to use, and what that man said. What that man said. Aliexpress is just over pop, not over populated, but it's just you, people use Aliexpress, so much, and so many people using the same then there's so many people use into my and the quality of hair goes down, but on Alibaba Alibaba is just so huge people aren't Using Alibaba like they're using Aliexpress, so you don't really have to deal with the same issues that go on when I express, because if I was kind of untouched I mean Alibaba is frequently used like it's a major company for businesses all over the world, Alibaba the Whole got the whole nine yards. Alibaba is everything. So, yes, it's a very popular site, but as far as hair extensions aren't involved and the fact that there's so many hair vendors on the Alibaba you're, not really gon na run into the problem of hairband bad quality, because a lot of people using your vendor. So, like let's say I would Express, probably have about 80 hair companies on Aliexpress right, but Alibaba got a couple, tens of thousands of hair vendors. You see the difference like and it seemed like the whole world, the whole YouTube shopping on Aliexpress and they're. Using the same vendors and these companies have like less than 20 people working in these companies making hair. So, of course, their hair is going to be bad quality on Aliexpress or the quality of the hair will go down with time, but the quality of hair might be vom at first, but for four months down the line of hair is trash because it's not all Of these people are using his company and his company only had like 15 people working for them. So that's the difference pretty much. What exactly are you looking for in the pictures and videos, particularly when you look at the pictures of lace, closures and front? This is another area where I think I kind of confuse people when I say look at the pictures and you can kind of see what a good quality hair looks like it's something that you have to have an eye for if you've been dealing with version hair For a long time like me, which, for me it's been like 2010, so that would mean like a seven years, I've been building my version here. I'Ve been wearing virgin hair. Then you completely understand what I mean by you can tell just by looking at it. But if you are a new subversion, hair you're, not gon na, be able to see it so there's pretty much nothing. I can tell you for you to have an eye for it like you, either see it or you don't, and on top of that, because of Alibaba they used to stock these the stock photos. The professional photos with the white background is really hard for you to tell altogether so, like I mentioned earlier, always ask the vendors for pictures like real pictures that they have taken or more pictures of the hair without the way, without the white professional background and to See if they can see you, videos of the hair and the number one thing you really want to look out for is dry ends. Why you can tell when ends are dry like or you want to stay away from the extra shiny plastic. Synthetic look like as long as it doesn't have dry ends and they don't look like synthetic hair. Then then you know you, you should get that bender a try, but it's just like it's just a lot of steps. Like a lot of things, you have to look out for pretty much narrow down who your vendor is. It'S not like. You could just look at the picture and say: oh, this is good hair and then you sit here and buy like ten bundles at one time. Like no after you look at the pictures and the pictures, look good everything you still have to test out hair like the pictures can look good and the hair can still be trash. That'S why it's still important to test out the hair. It'S not gon na be something easy like. Oh, these pictures look good. I'M gon na buy all this hair and I'm gon na start selling it. No. You still have to take the time out to actually purchase the hair and to actually wear the hair. For some reason, I guess, because I tell people I sell hair with no inventory, people believe that I've never tested out the hair. Like you, you have to test out the hair, you know or for some reason, when I tell people I sell hell with no inventory, they feel like you, can start a hair company for free, like no your startup costs. When I said my startup cost was like thirty dollars, that's because that's how much it costs for me to create my website, but prior to that I've already tested out the hair. So I didn't put that cost in because that was many years ago. So for you to start your company yeah, it's gon na be the cost of your website, but also the cost that it takes you to test out here and if the first vendor that you use at their hair, you test it out and they end up being Trash then guess what you're gon na have to find another vendor and you're gon na have to cough up some more money to test out that hair, like that's the hardest part, but most important part of your hair business is finding and hair vendor with great quality Hair, it's one of those things you can't rush over it's one of those things. You can't just pass over or find a quick way out, even if you buy a quote-unquote vendor from someone and you still, even after you purchase that vendor for five hundred dollars. I hover much they're charging. You still have to go out and buy hair from that vendor and test it out to make sure the hair really is good. How can you just put your trust in someone and let that be the basis of your whole life? Let that be found that the hair and the vendor is the foundation of your company. You can't just put your trust in someone else, because they told you to here is good and let that be your foundation like your, you need a solid foundation. You need to test out that hair. I don't care how well that person's business is doing like never never by a vendor list from somebody who still sells hair, because they're never gon na give you the vendor that they use now they're gon na give you a vendor that they used to use that They no longer use anymore and they do that for a reason like the other hair is good like yeah alright, but I found me a better vendor, but i'ma still sell these all right fender to everybody else. Like no trustee. I don't believe in vendors. My vendor lists and all this of light, it's a scam, don't do it, don't do it y'all it's cheaper to test out your own vendor. Okay, do you ever buy different types of hair from different companies or all from the same company um? I have two vendors. So, yes, I do buy different hair from different companies. Sometimes one company might be better with curly hair and the next company might be better with straight hair like it's just something you figure out at what time. But yes, you can definitely have more than one vendor. Um advice on wigs and premade wigs as far as that's concerned, I don't purchase wigs or pre-made wigs from vendors, so I'm making my own wigs. So I really can't give any advice on that. But yes, so if y'all have any other questions live on, Alibaba, like I said, go back and look at my video how to find a vendor on Alibaba and go back and watch the video on how to contact a vendor through its app. I do feel like I've thoroughly explained this topic, and I've spent probably a good hour or not more worth of time. Explain this into detail. So I think what I'm gon na do. Next, I'm just gon na probably write up a step-by-step guide so for those who are still lost after I've made a good hour worth of videos on Alibaba for those of you that are still lost. I am just gon na create an e-book, and it's just literally gon na be a step-by-step guide on how to find a vendor on Alibaba. And when I mean step by step, I mean I'm gon na have screenshots everything of the website and really take it step by step. So we're a three-year-old could do it and I'm just gon na put it all in the e-book and I'm gon na make sure any question you ever have about Alibaba in front of the vendor is explained in its ebook. So look out for that. It might not be here until another two weeks to a month, but I will be coming up with that, because I do notice that a lot of people need help with it and honestly, it probably will just be best that I make an e-book. So no and of course y'all know me, I don't like to rob people at all like never been that type of person. So you already know the e-book is gon na be super affordable, don't expect to pay no crazy pie price like $ 40. That'S crazy! Don'T expect to pay $ 30, that's [, __, ], crazy! Don'T expect to pay $ 20. That'S [, __, ], crazy! Please know that I am extremely extremely affordable. I would never make y'all pay more than what y'all need to pay for information because, like I said, y'all are starting a company, so y'all need to you know like y'all tryin, to save up save money to start a company. So I'm not trying to take no money out of that savings. Also, I'm still doing the 20 dollar business reviews. Yes, yes, yes, and it's been so many good reviews.
