I don't know what you're talking about. I get 20 foot containers dropped off by USPS daily.

are you kidding? there are like 50 websites out there with chinese wholesalers. I found at least 8 people selling the same welder/plasma cutter just rebranded 20 times.
Good luck finding one that will only ship a few. A guy i talked to on ebay once said he had to buy a shipping container full of ---- at a time; dunno if there is any truth in that statement but still.

Chinese knock off ---- is out there and easy as pie to find but harder to get.

Most oversea's companies want a $10K order, even if your just buying go-peds. The only way I've ever come up with to get one at the super low chinese price is to catch them at a trade show and buy their display so they don't have to ship it back after the show.

Good luck finding that $10k to spend on chinese welders so you can battle the other 53,234 resalers on ebay/internet.
