Hi Everyone.

I`m a newbie to business & to SUN.  I LOVE this website!!  I`m devouring as much as I can each day. I have what I think is a simple, but good idea & I also have a few prototypes.  My question is: how do I find manufacturers in China? How can I find someone who can make it, package it and ship it?  How do you know who you can trust?  Is it necessary/smart to use a middleman?  Where do I find one?  What is the usual fee when using a middleman?  Traveling to China is not a problem for me if I must do it since I work for an airline.  Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Welcome Saifudin, from SC, USA!  How are things 85 miles North of the Equator?  Glad you found us.  Not sure about bringing much knowledge to the forum, but I try to fun anyway!
