    Looking around for a wholesalers, I found this site: www.smallvolume.com

    Does anyone have any experience with these guys? Or somewhere based in europe along the same lines?

    I don't mind paying a premium for reliability so long as the price is decent.tongue.gif

    a bit more info in you post might aet a response. - what type of goods, & what type of quantities, would help. There are thousands of wholesalers out there, but no use sending you to a meat wholesaler when you're looking for nuts & bolts!

    I was mainly looking for collapsable bikes. I'm sure there is a small market for them in Ireland. The site I linked has some, that's why I was asking about it. :)

    Hello Barura. just be aware that on imports of bicycles from China, apart from the standard duty of 14%, there is an additional 48.5% of anti dumping duty.

    The EU is very protective of its domestic bicycle manufacturers.......

    Yikes! That doesn't sound good at all! Guess I'll look for somewhere in europe so! So long as there is a little mark up, I'd be happy.

    Thanks for the heads up!

    Very very small market for this type of bike especially since the free bikes came into dublin (being expanded to cork, limerick & galway) and its catered for by most of the large bike shops.

    A quick google shows plenty of places they can be got both here and delivered from UK.

    Here's the Irish shops from 1st 2 pages -

    foldingbikes.ie
    halfords
    eurocycles.ie
    penny farthing
    cycleways
    mcdonalds bikes
    duff cycles
