| Wholesale Dropship From China The Next Big Thing |
Shenzhen, Guangdong - In the fast-paced world of e-commerce and eBay everything needs to be done quickly. Wholesale dropship pioneer Chinavasion is launching what they claim is the next big improvement for eBay sellers. Dropship vendors are now offered next-day dispatch times from in-stock popular products.
Speed and reliability. These two words sum up what dropship vendors want. Many eBay power-sellers source from dropshipping companies locally. But increasingly, the lowest prices and best new products are from dropship wholesalers in China. When sourcing from China, speed and reliability are harder to come by.
It doesn't help that online shoppers are an unforgiving bunch. According to Chinavasion's PR Manager, Rose Li, customers won't hesitate to change vendors and/or warn other shoppers about their experience if an item took too long to arrive or is broken when it gets to them.
"Dropshipper's reputation relies on quick delivery and good quality products," according to Rose Li, "If you're selling online and either of these things is sub-par, forget about it." |

 ASHBURN, Va.– Within two years, all new aircraft must include technology designed to significantly reduce the risk of center fuel tank fires as part of a final rule announced today by U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary E. Peters. In addition, passenger aircraft built after 1991 must be retrofitted with technology designed to keep center fuel tanks from catching fire, she said.
“We want to do everything possible to make sure safety examiners won’t have to investigate another plane shattered by an exploding tank,” said Secretary Peters. “We can’t change the past, but we can make the future safer for thousands of air travelers, and this rule does just that.”
The Secretary, who spoke on the day before the anniversary of the crash of TWA Flight 800, said the new rule was needed to help avoid a similar tragic incident. She said the rule requires aircraft to have technology to neutralize or eliminate flammable gasses from fuel tanks under the center wing of commercial passenger planes. |

 China has dismissed critics of the United Nations decision to allow Beijing to buy ivory from Africa. Some wildlife protection organizations say the license to legally trade will only encourage smuggling and elephant poaching.
China's Foreign Ministry has disputed concerns that China cannot adequately police its trade in ivory. A United Nations' committee in charge of regulating the trade voted Tuesday to grant China the right to bid in an auction, along with Japan, for African ivory.
The panel's majority agreed that China had improved its ivory trade monitoring and could participate in a one-off sale of 108 tons of African ivory.
Ivory trading was banned in 1989 to discourage poaching of a shrinking population of elephants. Controlled trade in ivory was approved in 2002 provided that the elephants died of natural causes or were killed as part of population management. |
