I am interested in using suppliers from America. Shipping time is much faster than China but China has cheaper products. What would you suggest?

Great question! Products from China are usually cheaper because they are usually cheaply made and your customers will be able to tell. We suggest that you find US suppliers because even though the initial product costs will be more expensive, if you target the right customers they will pay more for a better product.
