The Long Road


Everywhere you turn in the major cities in China, there seems to be a long road of vendors selling their goods - sometimes nothing more than an endless flea market.


One of the things I learned about purchasing in China is the extreme need for 2 critical things:

1. Research

2. Someone who is local and knows the territory


Doing the research allows you to know in what areas have the highest quality merchandise, and the local person can whittle down the hundreds of those choices by knowing which of those vendors are most accomidating in terms of price, shipping and overall quailty.


Because our Product Procurement Manager, Seng, lives and works in the area, ORiEnTspiration is always a leg up on the competition as far as getting the hottest, newest and most unique merchandise!
