Well, I've been doing international B2B worldwide for a very long time. Many JP businessman purchased goods from China and send to the Japan warehouse, so you might think its a Japanese product. What's more, even there's a 'Made in Japan' printed on the product, many of them are still made in China, Chinese factories only need to follow the order requirements. There's no cheap material in Japan since the country is so tiny, also not enough space to build big factories like CN, Vietnam or India. If you're gonna buy a product that is similar price or same outlook with Chinese product, be careful with your purchase.

Been buying Japanese cars for a good reason ... not cheap, not expensive, plenty of included options, and quality, quality, quality

Love the fact you are exploring this! Another thing I love longevity and minimal maintenance. I hope Japan continues this pursuit of craftsmanship. ❤

We THANK YOU STEVE! :) Bless you and your family!

Thank you for your video. I took your advice and registered with the company because I have been purchasing and importing directly from China. It made a lot of sense what you said about buying goods directly from Japan but to my disappointment, when I was going through their online catalogue virtually almost all of the products I was interested in indicated directly from their vendors that these products are actually manufactured in China and not Japan. I also did a pricing test and again, I was highly disappointed as their prices are relatively higher than the same or equivalent products I have imported from China.

I had experience buying ACTUALLY Japanese things (mostly electrical devices and home equipment) and they are INCREDIBLE, their design and ideas are way ahead of the rest of the world... and the funny thing is they only produce it for themselves...same brand that makes a product for rest of the world make a different product for Japanese users.

Thank you for all you do, your advice will have a wonderful result for hundreds of people.

More Japanese are starting in Japan to sell on the internet. Digitaka is one of them. The YEN has fallen compared to the dollar. you can get 40 percent off due to exchange rate. Amazon Japan is also available. $44 ❤️❤️❤️

Super information, thank you

Subscribed. I want to get into exporting without necessarily doing ecommerce (B2B supply), but if I can figure it out, then I'm all for it.

Thank you for the info.

I miss Japan. The people were so genuine graceful and kind. Nothing like south Texas in the 90's.

Hello thanks for the valuble ideas and information that my goal to start another store this year because of the shipping problems from China in 2020 I had to shut things down the quality and craftmanship seems better with the Japanese products,thanks keep the gems coming.

in my country especially in the 80s and 90s many goods were made in japan, what a wonderful experience that was, than chineese stuff started pouring in and though it was cheaper difference in quality was unbelievable

completely agree with this!

I’ve shopped from Temu about 20 times and I love their items especially their clothes! I’ve been disappointed in a few things but loved most of their things! I’ve bought quite a few shirts for my boyfriend and he loves them! I hope you’re wrong about them.

I’m on board for that! ❤

Japan store here in the Philippines has Japanese brands but made in China. I think it's expensive to buy authentic Japanese brands here in the Philippines and they still import to China because not all items are bad.

So I went to the website you suggested , (Both Raccoon and Superdelivery) and the items I am looking for says they were "Made in China" So correct me if I'm wrong, but all these sites are doing is buying directly from China and marking up the price for resale. I was looking for products that were Made in Japan, not a middle man for China. I would be better off price wise ordering through Alibaba! What gives here?

I just subscribed to your channel thank you so much for sharing

very detailed and helpful info - Thank You! I've been thinking of starting an online business but don't want to source from China, so this video came at the right time for me.

Im LOVING seeing super delivery site right now!!

Great Video! So happy it came up on my screen. I am looking to start an online business and I agree, the quality is far better than most. I would be honored to find a product or two and support Japanese business. Arigato!

Thanks for this. Was really excited about the non-sweatshop, high-quality aspect...but then went looking on their site and most of the neat products I check out were actually manufactured in China 😭

I love Japan products. I bought a pen over 20 years ago and it is still working good.

It's a very good and informative video and your idea of importing from Japan is an excellent one. But the problem is that all of the products I checked on "Super Delivery" are made in China. If you look carefully under the "Specification" they have clearly written "Country of manufacture: China"

As an indian many people are going to china, but i wish if Japan comes i will definitely support japan.

What’s even more amazing is bro didn’t blink for like 20 mins

thanks for your awesome content and education do you have any recommendations for purchasing cars and suv's from Japan will small size samples for individuals?

I have been wanting to source from Japan for over a decade. I have spent time looking, off and on, and never found any source like this and this is what I was looking for. The only thing I would like to see is a move towards a hybrid account (dropshipping/wholesale). Hopefully someone will create that some day. But I understand why it is wholesale only. Thank you for sharing this!

Love your content very informative. But wild they accept if you have a retail store not an online business?

What a very interesting video. Great presentation. Certainly worth looking into. Thanks for the heads up. I live in the U.K and it looks like they would send / work with the U.K market

love this trend

I love Japan products and their food

Excellent

Great video and information. Would you know of any companies where I could dropship from Japan? Thank you.

I can't imagine how hard it would be to decide to take on a moneygetback role of scammed persons. The history needs to be remembered though and the help that was born through such pain and suffering. Mad respect to these Exelasupport that take on these roles.

Wonderful video about beautiful county. Can you please advertise & export Japan products worldwide a lot more !

I love Japanese products! I have to setup my online store right away.

Generally love your content - but this one was quite misleading (I get the Japan-o-philia, been doing business with Japan for decades). Maybe you have a stake in the success of this platform (explaining the incentive) but - to say that only 'some' of the products might not be made in Japan lacks the integrity your content is generally known for. Most of the products appear to be sourced from China - meaning - you're effectively paying more for Chinese goods - made to Chinese standards, imported into Japan - where Japanese import duties are applied, a provision/margin for the Japanese importer is then added, not to mention a further margin for the site - and that's your price. You're paying a Japanese intermediary, for goods from China, that you could import directly at a much lower cost. Most Japanese entities don't want to engage with foreign clients - for reasons you'd likely not want to cover in your videos so as not to alienate your viewer base. There are still restaurants and businesses in Japan today with signs "Japanese only" on them. Why Japan remains off limits in many ways to the rest of the world is a topic most would rather not discuss. Without doubt - Japanese quality is second to none (or second only to Japanese quality from decades passed), however - it's far from the clear-cut utopia of ethical practices, business standards, manufacturing quality, elegantly presented here. Sourcing genuine goods from Japan - requires going there - forming lasting relationships (that require months, if not years, to cement), and above all else - demonstrating your 'worthiness' of that relationship, rather than pulling out your credit card, and a platform that offers (mostly?) Chinese made goods, under the flag of "sourced from Japan".

Thank you for your invaluable advice. Can you advise if there is any alternative in Japan where individuals can buy personal items like Amazon etc?

Thx, I'm currently not importing products, but planning for the future. Great content, thanks a lot. And the fact that China's moral compass is kinda off these days, makes a good or even better alternative even more important.

Thank you

Great content but how do they treat beginners regarding the custom code?

I want to create my company AFTER finding the product, the good thing is you can browse products beforehand, then create the company and ask for estimates

Thank you for this content. I've been trying to get away from Chinese goods as much as possible. The toxicity in their material is getting higher and higher. I like that there are alternatives

My concern is to effect cost reduction, would the Japanese buy from China then resell to a U.S. importer?

Great qualty😊

Is there a link Japanese tech companies too. I’ve been looking for something like this. Thank you.

Steve Chou, you're the real deal. You know your stuff - no fluff. Cool!

Thanks I've been looking for something like this for my tea company. Now I just need a way to get in touch with tea growers in Japan. I am skeptical about organic teas from China.

The only issue is the shipping cost from Japan... Very hard to find those easy and quick shipping agency as China

Hi, congratulations for your very educational channel. I ask you a question. On this website from Japan, you can buy original auto parts like Toyota. Thank you.

Thanks

Most of the items in Japan are made in China. Even with Japanese brands and being sold in Japan.

Checked the SuperDelivery, thanks for sharing. Just a quick question. I found this info about the import and duties on the webpage. Do we need to hire a shipping broker when buying from JP and send it to the US to help us clear the shipment, or are they taking care of that and sending it directly to our warehouse? Are they sending by any chance straight to FBA? "Customs clearance procedures for exports are handled by SUPER DELIVERY-arranged carriers. For imports, customers may be subject to import tariffs, additional related expenses, and procedures. Depending on the situation, customers may need to contact carriers or customs to complete the import clearance. If payment or procedures during import customs clearance are not completed, or if local customs/carriers consider the parcels invalid or undeliverable, the parcels may be held, returned, or discarded. Customers may also be responsible for any associated costs in these cases. Regarding the above, please note that SUPER DELIVERY will not be held responsible. Thank you in advance for your understanding."

This was interesting.

Thank you. I really love made in Japan ❤

Steve, I want to buy blender for my business use but in your video, you said the product has to be for resell. So how do I handle the issue?

Great video, too bad some of the products listed in Superdelivery are made in China and not Japan

Hi there! Thanks for the knowledgeable videos from you. I’m wondering if you have also any idea of Importing Japan Products to Europe? Specifically Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Switzerland and etc. Or any e-commerce platform with B to B features also? Coz I like to import products from Japan to Europe. Thanks advance for your reply. I will appreciate it much.

Super useful video..Works well even for dropshipping 🎉

First and foremost, Great video Steve! I currently own a baby apparel brand and Im curious to know if super delivery does clothing customization ?

This reminds me of a company in the 90s that operated exactly the same called 'SMC'

Hi may I know how and where to source Second hand, recycle and surplus electronic items in Japan please?

well , that is not for everybody and is not the same like Aliexpress . I have only an online store and they are asking me to summit a picture of outside of the building of my store. Aliexpress does not ask for that, you just make an account and start shopping.

Don't tell the secrets my guy lol My wife is from Malaysia and I LOVE ASIA you are so right, so many better products in Japan , Thailand and Malaysia ,, Great video

san jose, great memories. I used to work for the mercury news. anyway, moved to japan back in 2001. starting an ecommerce store, copying a particular ecommerce site, which I will not name publicly. whats the protocol for contacting the suppliers directly?

im in!!

Any recommendations on requesting custom items, sourcing agents in Japan, etc.?

But the prices are too high just I saw in the website

Thanks for impressive post

Japan is strict about product quality and purchasing from overseas can be difficult. If you are looking for high quality and unique products from other wholesale market, Japan is a good choice. In addition to that, Korea also has a fashion jewelry wholesale market, which is more diverse and of better quality than China.

I follow Japanese Rugby and I love Japan I learned to make Sushi camping and diving for oysters in Stewart Island I met a Japonese camper in a remote hut three days hike from Horse shoe bay just me and him my friend had our diving equipment he brought by boat and we dived for oysters scallops Paua kina we dined like kings on free on seafood and my new Japanese friend cooked and we exchanged friendship it made his solo journey to New Zealand more enjoyable and he worked for Honda great people

The only issue is delivery times are slower. One note the Japanese keep the best products for themselves. Now you too can buy the. Do your homework, there is money too be saved.

AGREED 100 PERCENT

Thanks for this interesting podcast. Liked and subscribed. James J Walsh in Limerick city Ireland 🇮🇪

Do you know a direct competitor of super delivery, so i can compare the prices? And do they do private labeling too?

yes, of course it is safe, bc in japan, your reputation is EVERYTHING. Also japan makes the best stuff, ever. love japan

Great video - is it easy to customize products with Japanese suppliers? This is quite exciting!

What about a good website for consumers?

How can we do this business between Japan and Africa?

❤ ty 4 u

Hi Steve, the FORM requires identifying a Japanese Agency in Japense!! Did I end up with the right form!?

CANADA MAKES GREAT PRODUCT SO DOES MEXICO, BUT THEY CHARGE ALMOST AS USA, A FRACTIONAL PRICE CHEAPER. JAPAN IS OFFERING GREAT QUALITY AND CONSITANCY, MY DAD LOVED JAPANESE PRODUCTS HE WAS AUDIOFILE

do you send directly to Amazon Warehouse? what if you're s brand new business, will they accept you?

Are you allowed to sell on Amazon after purchasing and receiving the items?

hello sir, can I suggest a new approach for designing your miniatures?

Is there any online store like Shein that DO NOT use SpeedX Delivery ? They do not deliver to your front door and always leave package in the lobby only to be stolen

I wanted vertical shimge pressure pump HP 3,4,5.what about cost up to Tanzania, please

Do they sell equipment like, heavy duty machinery, and is there any other app or website that's in English?

Do you know where I can get used vehicle or do they have junk yards

TY !!

Steve, can you teach me how to source from Japan, i actually wanted to source from Japan Thanks!

Great video. Does being a 12 year eBay seller count? Or should I open a Shopify store?

Are sources that are middle of the road between Japan and China in terms of quality and price?

Nice

As long as they are made in Japan. Have you been to Daiso? A lot of stuff are still made in China. I would love to import from Japan, so long they are true Japanese products.

Good video and Thanks for the advance notice, nonetheless please be aware that many of the products being offered originate from China.
