I am an online seller usually selling retail items and arranging personal deliveries or meetups within Metro Manila, Bulacan, Laguna and Cavite as a sideline to complement my meager office salary and as libangan. I enjoy driving to places I haven't been before using my road atlas and lately, my Osmand android application to deliver my orders. Either by scooter, multicab dropside or by car.
I have not tried shipping to far regions/provinces or abroad. But I got a text inquiry from a buyer who wants to order from the province. Usually, I would think of it as a scam buyer but if I am to entertain the thought of shipping 100 pcs of orocan sized drums to Bacolod to this buyer. I only stock about 3 units of the item I'm selling.
How would I be able to accomplish the following:
a) How do I make sure that I get paid. What would be my terms to get him to pay for the orders and shipping without me having to shelve that wedding fund or life savings?
b) How would I go about shipping considerably big sized items to the province. (like 100 pcs of orocan drums or something similar)
I may also think about asking additional questions as we go along the way. But then again, I could let katamaran take over and decline the order. lol...
If I'm able to pull this off, it would considerably reduce if not totally pay off my credit card debts. And maybe, this libangan would turn out as a new career. Any thoughts on the simulated transaction?
