I am about to start using a supplier through Alibaba.
I want the items sent using Epacket and have the pricelist so I can work out cost per item.
I see there is a handling fee of 19CNY for each parcel plus cost per gram.
Does my supplier need to have an account with Epacket to get better price which they can then pass onto me.
I have asked them the question and they said...
"Actually we dont' have account with E-packet, as we normal ship by express, E-packet we dont use offen, so they dont have discount for you."
Reason I ask is that sellers on Aliexpress can offer very cheap Epacket prices some as low as $1.
So I take it that they are not paying a handling fee per item they send.

How can I save postage costs please?
Thanks
