Freshwater Pearl Farms at wholesale cost
As a wholesaler in the U.S., our main focus is how we can provide our customers with every type of pearl you can get from the pearl farms without traveling overseas.
We are making the best use of our direct investment in China to our advantage. For people who are also interested in buying wholesale pearls directly from China, you can sign up as one of our wholesale members.
If you are interested in wholesale other than pearls, here are some of our advices from our experiences:
1. Things to watch for when you buy directly from China.
2. Chinese currency`s price fluctuations.
3. For people who are interested in loose strands to make their own jewelry
1. There are several things you need to be aware of when you buy wholesale pearls directly from China.
The complaint that we most often get is from store owners telling us that they paid twice more for their pearl jewelry when they were in China than the wholesale price they saw on our website, despite the fact that they had personally gone there and even hired Chinese interpreters, bought the pearls and brought them back.
Usually they wanted to know if the reason was because they appeared to be foreigners and therefore, were charged more. We hate to admit that might be one of the reasons, but also would like to emphasize the main reason is business connections and long term relationships among the Chinese. We have investments in the farms we own and long term business relationships with other pearl farm owners. So besides the business relationship, there is also the personal relationship which is based on mutual trust. This is a key element in business relationships in Asia.
Another consideration you should take note of is the shipping. Here is a complaint received from: Harry Clifton <dog@almatel.net>on 9/12/2005 16:47:50 -0400, one of our long term clients who retails fashion jewelry and t-shirts.

>>You still there????? What is new?????Just received some things I got

>>this....
We couldn`t help Harry because we do not carry the type of fashion jewelry that he needed. Always make sure to find out what your shipping cost is going to be when you buy directly from China.
And most importantly, try to find out that if your shipment is not right, what kind of recourse do you have?
Can you send the broken or mistaken pieces back? If your jewelry is damaged during the transportation or the quality is not what you think it should be? Things do happen and anything can happen while the product is en route, but also involving all the other issues, such as translation, or description for the right color or overtone? Can you ask for reimbursement or for exchange if anything goes wrong? If you can, then how much does it cost for shipping? Do you have to buy the insurance or get a tracking number when you try to send them back to ensure it will be received? That can be quite expensive. Especially when it comes to shipping charges, there is basically nothing else you can do after the package is delivered or sent. Just one of the things to be aware of when you buy directly from China.
2. Chinese currency`s price fluctuation.
China`s currency has gone up. For the yuan`s price fluctuation, we have some good news and bad news.
The good news is that unlike other wholesalers, we do not have to adjust our wholesale prices to keep up with the Chinese yuan`s appreciation for now. We are seeing our investment in China`s pearl farms a few years ago are finally paying off. The US dollars that we invested in several years ago can absorb the cost, so that you are paying even much less than what Chinese merchants in China are paying right now.
The bad news is the shipping cost with UPS and other US companies will fluctuate with Chinese currency. As you already know, we charge actual shipping by UPS for 2-3 day international delivery, including our office in China`s volume discount, (which is probably the same cost as if we were sending you the package from San Diego, California, which could take 3 -5 days as well if you don`t use the highest priced overnight delivery method). To solve that problem, we have been actively pursuing other channels for shipping. And we are happy to find out that EMS is another good alternative if you do not mind an extra 2-4 day wait. With our wholesale volume discount, you can get an additional 15% or so savings by EMS in comparison to shipping by UPS.
No matter which shipping method you use, we will always let you know exactly what the shipping cost will be, so there won`t be any surprises.
3. If you are interested in only loose strands:
We have significantly lowered our wholesale prices for unfinished loose pearl strands and loose pearls. For people who make their own jewelry, we strongly urge you to take advantage of this limited time opportunity. If you know you will need pearls, please do not hesitate to send us your inquiry as soon as you can.
Keep in mind that you will have our full guarantee to beat by 10% any other supplier or wholesaler`s price, and satisfaction guarantee as well. We do not wish to publish our low prices on the website, so if you are interested in loose strands only, please send an email to support@orientalpearls.net.
