"I wish I'd had this before my first trip. I made every single mistake in this book — paid for samples at the booth, skipped the pre-shipment inspection, got burned on packaging. The cheat sheet alone is worth it."
"The section on manufacturer vs trading company changed how I approached every single booth. I found two incredible direct factories on my last trip that I would have walked straight past before reading this."
"The 48-hour follow-up rule is real. I sent those messages, referenced specific conversations, and got replies from 8 out of 12 suppliers within two days. My previous trips I barely heard back from anyone."
Visas, flights, hotels, apps, and the 30-day countdown checklist. The Fair rewards preparation — most buyers waste their first day on logistics that should have been sorted weeks ago.
The five questions that tell you within 3 minutes whether a supplier is worth your time. How to spot manufacturers, dodge middlemen, and read a booth like a pro.
Price is the last thing you negotiate, not the first. MOQs, pricing traps, payment terms, FOB vs EXW, and the walk-away technique that actually works.
Ghost booths, bait-and-switch samples, the deposit scam. Eight red flags to memorise and eight green flags that signal a factory worth trusting.
