In the Santo Domingo area there are a few well known grocery stores: La Cadena, Bravo and supermercado National. There are a few bigger wal-mart type stores as well... Just not sure of their names.
I ran a colmado type store in the Pacific Islands. 8ft x 12ft and I lived in the store! My mattress flipped up under the counter during the day(out house across the street). Credit is something you have to manage and track. I put a ceiling on the total amount of credit that the store would do an based how much I would give out on total sales. When it topped out, I'd tell people they had to tell the people who owed(and they sure knew who owed without my help) that they had to pay before I would give out any more. It's not so much the risk as much as just keeping track of it.
But I think the OP is looking for someone to work with for exporting.
To the OP. You might want to make up something like a picture catalog of the items you want to sell, something like a weekend flyer without the prices. Avoid anything subject to import tax if possible. How much are you hoping to ship in one go? If you can do whole containers with un-split pallets, that would be best. You also have to work out your CIF prices vs FOB prices.. IMHO, there is a lot more money making a little money at a time than the big deals. One of these days I want to price out pallets of Marcal TP that sells for 69 cents a roll(of 1000)retail in the US. The less "sexy" something is, the more chance there's still new room for new players.
Peter, you are one helluva smart guy. a buddy of mine went to an auction in Ottawa, and bought a 45 foot container of no-name toilet paper. he made a fortune. he ended up buying two box trucks from the profits. then he bought out a brace of used pcs, and did the same. the guy is living large now.
good idea? no name disposable diapers. they must sell...
