[Alt-photo] Re: South East Asia Chemical Suppliers?

[Mustafa Umut Sarac]

www.alibaba.com  is the worlds largest online chemistry etc supplier. It is
china based and you can search in countries from top also.
Shipment is cheap , prices 1/100 of usa.

You can free register and send a online message to the center , they
arrange a free ad with your need and within 12 hours , 10 suppliers turns
to you. Find a customs dealer at there and they are expert whom to bribe.
This World turns by this way.

If you want to deal with larger amount of crowd at alibaba , you can pay
for second gold member registration for few dollars online and
get more quote.

You can buy a motorcycle for african roads less than 250 dollars at alibaba
com.

You must learn the shipment prices also , 1000 kilograms or 2200 pounds or
1 Cubic Meter good comes from Shangai to Istanbul for 15 dollars , fifteen
dollars.

Buy more and request ship Cargo and pay 30 dollars to the forwarder to
bribe the customs.

The chemical prices , electronic , machinery prices are EXTREMELLY low.
Chemistry 100 times more expensive  at the US.

By the way dont jump in to first quatation , lower ones comes in 2 days.
Wait.

Good luck,
