How can FT afford free shipping when Chinese wholesale mod manufacturers on alibaba all charge for shipping?

They have a lower profit margin most likely, but by catering to common consumers rather than retailers, they might be selling a good deal more merch.

I heard something about that they are shipping it out like samples mail and then they can ship it out for free, but don't know if it's true or not..

The Chinese government subsidizes shipping to stimulate the export business. They can ship something to California way cheaper than I can.

labor prices are lower, profit margin greater and they know, FREE SHIPPING will get them more business than not...
A great Business plan really...

And it's not only FastTeck but others that offer free shipping. Come on, I would not order from China if it was not for the free shipping. Shipping from China costs some real money...
Plus look at the exchange rate....
many reasons beside the one listed above, both true and BS....

This issue is very complicated. The U.S. Knows that China can deliver products to the U.S. that we ourselves cannot produce fast enough or its not feasible, that we all need
Now do some research on this "Who owns most of the big real estate" across the United states? Hint the the 4th letter is "n" :)

That is why you need to pick the E-packet.
