You also have no idea how much shipping costs from china to america.
When you order something like in large quantity like a bulk order from any chinese manufacture, the only way to get it over here is by cargo container via boat. That ship will only go to a california port though. So from there, you are stuck with transporting a 20 foot steel container to wherever you are. Unless you have some real financial backing and have plans to actually profit on the units, it's a waste of time to even think about it.

first of all anything weighting alot or big you never get shipped to your house, a business will always be cheaper so it pays to know people, 2nd of all youd just pay a trucking company that hauls containers to do it. its not that complicated.
