and hes just gonna throw "oh 100 piece order~ thats about 1200 per each one "

and also if matthew would have learned to read there is quite obvious " 3. with 1,920 x 1,080 or 4K Pixels Resolution "

thus stating both on the info is silly but not wrong~

probly not even silly. if theyd write only "4k" then customers would order 1080p ones and complain that "not as advertised"

im sorry if i come out as hostile but people should not use alibaba if they are not experienced with industry markets specialy chinkshit ones

im no master on it and sometimes even i almost fall to their quite clever traps

but its one of those places where the "does it sound too good to be true > read carefully and step away after it"

applies

this listing comes up about once a month

its the same shit every time

alibaba has gotten me burned once or twice in history

not badly but enough to learn from them

and thats true @Goz3rr but thats why it is there

i wish alibaba would place rule "reference prices will need to be for the min-order size"

and the other joke is them having no price at all

what makes me fucking furious at times

>hey now i need to messaged 40 sellers to pricecheck them all

That should be banned

for item patch of 200 ~

The former is just normal business

"normal" not everywhere tho

most factories can throw ballparks on how much x-patch size would cost (ofc cargo cost not included)

but they just decide against it due harder to do price comparison and have actual competition

its no way good option even tho "normal"

./rant

What did you buy before? The whole intermediary of cargo is what stops me from just buying a pallet of lightbulbs so I never need to buy them again.

first (my own stupidity) was cargo cost what got myself burned

fucker used wooden box to send the parts (while i love good packaging and wooden crates specialy)

what overshoot my aproximate of hauling cost

not badly (just few hundred)

lesson learned : COMMUNICATE

other one was some camera modules where i didnt read properly (our project was late and we needed em "fast"

and we needed to do some magic and pull circuitboards for control from our asses

[lens]<[sensor]&[sensorboard]<[controlboard]

last board stack was not included due it was meant to be replacement parts (probly)

luckily we managed to do some magic with local PCB maker and they rush-ordered some of those

How do you arrange for pickup by a company and delivery?

we ordered as company >container came to harbor >we picked it up > rest is history

well technicaly we went to check the shit on harbor and then they hauled our stuff to front door day later

as it was only part of said containers contents

Hmm, I could use a forwarding company but it appears that will make taxes slightly fucky.
