Self-importing takes more patience, research, and time, but can work-out OK. Your adventure starts with a 30 day + - wait, for the factory to build and get to the docks. The waiting can drive you

JohnS if you think that's the worst of it just wait until your product reaches New York Harbor and the US Customs. I can write a book on these cheerful individuals. They will easily hold up your product for another month if they are inclined to do so. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

PineRidge,
I imported my current tractor, FEL, and hoe, so do know a little about this. It has definitly become more interesting since 9/11. The poster has already ordered, so hope he has done all his research and knows what he is in for. There was some posts here on CBP, and importing. There are many waiting periods, manufacture wait, boat from china wait, train from west coast wait, and customs & wharehouse wait. The wait is probably a bit harder since all the money is wired over, in the first 30 days. Key is patience, you need lots of it /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

John I agree, since 9/11 importing has become a lot more exciting. Knowing the correct procedures can eliminate a lot of stress and frustration however. If I am not mistaking I believe that eBay may be hosting a workshop today the 4th covering importing. Anyone interested might want to check their announcement board for more information. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

PineRidge, unfortunatly, most of the time, you learn the correct procedures, by getting something wrong, on your first import /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif IMHO, if you self-import, and everything goes well, you will save a little $. There is certainly potential that it could cost you more, on single purchases. It is mainly for the diehard pioneers, you know the guys with the arrows in their backs /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
In my case, which was before 9/11, things went well with only a few glitches. There is always something that comes up. BTW, I get a Happy New Year card from the Chinese contact, every year. It is my longest distance holiday card, I receive /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
