I want to be able to buy it giving a USA address, preferable in Florida, so that the merchant can ship the product there. Then, the shipping business in such location would ship it to me in Puerto Rico. Of course there would be another shipping charge for such service.

I know there is a business in Florida that does that but I cannot remember the name.

perhaps you can go to a shipping and packing store that has p.o. box rentals that can forward your mail to you. The UPS store here does that. USPS will also forward you're mail, and i believe that is free.

We do garment development, production management, quality assurance, and shipping arrangement.

Our production line is in China, so our prices are reasonable. Also, we are happy to work with small orders.

Now I have a question, me and my friend want to spread this business to the public. What’s the most economical way in marketing and advertising our this small business?

I've personally found myspace to be a great way to advertise my business.

I also specialize in promotional poducts which people love FREE stuff. You might want to consider investing in giveaways for people, something with your logo, etc. Also, start an email newsletter, gave up emails from friends, family, online and send an email introducing your business. It will get forwarded to others and so on and so on. There are many options.

You start handing out home-made material and people aren't going to touch your business with a ten foot pole.

At this point, understandably, you don't have the funds for such a thing…so if you must print your own…I suggest doing a very small quantity…just enough to get you by till you can lay out $$ for a professional image.

There are also some good business card marketing tips there.

To track the package, go on their website with the tracking number from their email. It may have been sent to your old address if not updated in their records, especially if that info matched your credit card.

Thank You

Generally these are Account Numbers issued by UPS,FedEx, DHL or any other shipping company. Instead of billing the sender they bill the receiver. Normally the Sender would add the Shipping to your bill, but they probably figure that International shipping has too many rate issues so having it billed directly to your account is easier.

I'm in the US but since they work internationally think that it should be pretty simple to apply for an account by just going to either the FedEx or UPS Web site.

The process could be fully automated as the technology is there. And you could work at your flexible time.

There are a lot of online business model such as selling phyiscal or digital products, buying and selling domain names, affilitate marketing, auctions, paid newsletter or websites and many more.

You should also adopt a good marketing strategies. You could 1) buy traffic 2) steal traffic or 3) build traffic. All the techniques will allow you to get more visitor to visit your webpage and eventually buy the product or services from you. I am currently using 2)and 3) as they are cheap and some of them free.

Don't risk it. Paying taxes means you are making money. I would rather make money and owe the taxes, than owe no taxes at all.

In Texas the form for a tax ID# is very simple & it is free. Paying the taxes is as simple as filling out a short form (not even 1/2 a page) or calling them in to an 800#. I can't imagine other states are very different from that.

If you are using something like Quickbooks, keeping track of sales tax will be a BREEZE.

Do things right from the beginning and have a clear conscience. Think about your business plan and I hope you do great!
