Hi,

Theres plenty of lists floating round on the internet for £5 offering a 'too good to be true' deal. Where you can buy wholesale products / Electronic suppliers / clearance warehouses / liquidation sales

Ignore- avoid all these, I wouldnt say its a rip off, just simply a cunning way to make money off people who arent too internet savvy / pc literate.

all you need is google, free to use, unlimited resource database.

Search for a wholesaler in leicester you would type ..... 'wholesaler leicester'

Use your imagination to search on google, 50% you find on google rubbish searches, 50% will probably be useful suppliers/distributors...Bit of effort thats all it takes.

You still have to ring them up and get stock list, or most have websites where you can get stock lists and sometimes even photos of the pallets of stock!!! You can subscribe to their email stock bulletins too, some allow collection in a car, they just want to get rid of stock so they can get the next lot of pallets in!

You can also try sourcing abroad for stock, e.g. far east but bear in mind the tax on imports is a mighty 40% on cost of goods + postage charge + payment charges + lots of RISK handing over cash + you could get caught out on Quality if youv'e never dealt with foreign suppliers!! Leave this to the experts if you ask me, you will get stung on all sorts and end up paying not much less than you can buy it in the shops!!!
