    Is there a forum online similar to this one that has a community talking about how to deal with over seas suppliers and international business?

    I have been looking for an international business forum online and just couldn't find any?

    you can find people here as there are also droppshippers arround here. Also you have an international community so there will be plenty of people that know about their home countries and have expirience importing or exporting stuff.

    Yes, thank you for your help.

    However, I am looking for a forum strictly for international business. DP is a webmasters forum.

    not in my eyes if you get to know people you discover there is more international business on here than you might think ;) I met some pretty interesting people around here with different offline businesses besides their websites or connected to it.

    I am not asking for that type of international business.

    What I need is a forum that talks about over seas suppliers of all different types of products. Where to find them, How to deal with them, how many suppliers to have, how to send payment, how to trust them etc.

    Even if you are not dropshipping, you might want to check out some dropshipping forums. Not only do many of the same things apply when dealing with dropshippers vs normal supplier, but many dropshipping forums have sections about dealing with wholesale suppliers and overseas shipping. You should also look for forums that discuss Import/Export.

    You will find quite a few of dropshippers here but it is a good idea to check on their rep before ordering.

    Learning, managing, and dealing with foreign suppliers is something you can discuss with your dropshipper contact from a specific country. Many dropshippers are middlemen and are more than happy to add product lines - develop a relationship and see where it takes you.

    Ok, I guess no one understands what I'm asking for. Or maybe I am not explaining myself clearly.

    What I'm asking has nothing to do with drop shipping at all whatsoever.

    It's ok i'll find my answer elsewhere. Thanks for your help guys!

    What initially intrigued me about this site (DP) is it's reach to the international market.

    Now if you are solely looking in dealing with overseas vendors, I would recommend sending you over to the alibaba forums. A word of caution, however. Alibaba has plenty of scammers, but if you look long and hard enough you will find legitimate companies, warehouses, and middlemen willing to help you order products and/or dropship them anywhere.

    You can visit the forums here: resources.alibaba.com/forums.htm

    Best of luck.
