As a coach and academy we go through approx 30 dozen a month and was wondering whether anyone has had experience with buying shuttles from traders on Alibaba and what sort of recomendations can you make? thanks!
Buying shuttles on Alibaba is like putting a love letter in a bottle, and throwing it in the ocean. You'd have to be really lucky to get anything good out of it.
a box is usually 25 tubes, if you're buying overseas, it's best that you buy in the increment of 25 tubes, if you're serious, I can introduce you to a few guys in China but still, shipping is heck of expensive
I have ordered two tubes of "AS-50" from AliExpress.. very dissapointing quality. My expectations were not high, and the prhase "you get what you pay for" seems applicable. But, you might be Lucky.
Hello, Im trying to get 50 tubes ordered to Chennai, India. Could you please introduce me to good dealers?
AliExpress birds are overpriced. your best bet is to buy from Taobao. Same company as AliExpress but it's mainly targeted at China/Asia locals. You'll need to research to figure out what's good, but they have a lot of brands that are of good quality/price. I'm in Canada, and shipping takes 1 week after the consolidated shipping company receives it. Total time is about 7-10 business days. you need to order 25+ tubes to make it worth it because of the shipping cost. There are two consolidated shipping options on Taobao, one uses UPS and the other uses EMS. you need to check with each one to see if they are allowed to ship badminton shuttlecocks to your country. for Canada, only the EMS option will work.
