[10:34] they had one more thing planned as a surprise. So, we're heading to Alibaba invite. And this isn't open to the public at all. Only partners can get access. All right, y'all. You see You see that sign right there? We're pulling
[10:48] up to the biggest distributor in the whole entire world, Alibaba. And we are uh just got a private invitation from Team Drop to go ahead and check it out. So, we're just going to basically see everything that we, you know, think that
[11:04] we know, but we don't really know in the United States. We're going to see the excited. I know I'm excited. I've never been able to see an opportunity like about, you know, other countries, but I do know about Alibaba. And I know you
[11:17] guys know about it, too. So, you got the coffee. I'm trying to get some energy. And uh wish me luck. Y'all see where we at. I ain't never even thought I would be here, the Alibaba headquarters. This whole entire place right here is
[11:29] actually for visitors. She just told us that, which is crazy, right? So, we are pulling up. We're about to see everything on the inside, experience the whole entire manufacturing process. And actually, if you guys don't know, the
[11:43] only people who can really be in here are people who are partners of Alibaba. here. This is what they built for their visitors. This is the first their first office. So, Jack Ma started company in his apartment. This is the Actually,
[12:00] replica of his apartment. >> office. Yeah, 1995. >> 1995. >> rebuilt it to to remember. The CEO used to live right here. And that just shows how far you come, all
[12:14] that just shows how far you come, all right? 1995, Alibaba CEO started his right? 1995, Alibaba CEO started his business inside of a you know, small here working on this little thing. We need to put the Case Building or or my
[12:28] apartment in in the office. That'd be really cool. I was doing the same exact thing, you know, whenever I first started off, I had my small little apartment, 600 square feet. I had literally not even blinds in it. We're
[12:42] just sitting there working every single day to make something as great as Supreme Ecom. And he was in the exact same position. And this is kind of like the moment where you realize that basically a lot of CEOs start in the
[12:54] same position. A lot of CEOs who are starting from the very beginning without able to get, you know, their father's legacy passed down. You start in a shack like this, and then one day you wake up and you see an entire empire in front of
[13:08] you. This is what self-belief really looks like. All right, guys. We just finished lunch with Team Drop, and we had some amazing conversations. And they really got to break down the full experience. I had
[13:22] some great conversations with my man, you know, William. You know, William, say hi to everybody real quick. Say hi. Hi. Say hi. Hi. And the big CEO CEO of Team Drop, the
[13:35] man who's been taking care of us along this trip. So, thank you so much for everything. Thank you. Man, Alibaba was so cool to see. But, to be honest, the part that I've been
[13:48] looking forward to this entire trip is what's next. We're hopping on a 2 and 1/2 hour high-speed train to get to the actual warehouses. This is what we flew 16 hours for. All right, y'all. So, we are now officially leaving Hanjo, and we
[14:02] are flying out to Shenzhen, which is about a 2 and 1/2 hour flight at the very bottom of China. And the reason why we're going there is to be able to explore the real manufacturing of and warehouses that Team Drop uses. And
[14:16] what's crazy is that these are the same warehouses that Alibaba uses, AliExpress world where you guys source your products, that is where we're going to be going right now. Now, if any of you guys wanted to know what is the best way
[14:30] going to the factories and finding the products that they're selling. And also, what's going to be really cool is that all the brands that I'm currently able to see the distribution in real time. So, I'm going to be able to see
[14:44] all the products that I'm selling and how they're manufacturing and scaling it for myself and my team every single day. So, see you guys when we land. We have touchdown in Shenzhen. It is hot here, y'all. We haven't even been outside yet.
[14:56] About to go ahead and head to the hotel, we'll get our bags, go to the hotel, and head straight over to the manufacturing warehouses. So, you'll see the full behind-the-scenes. I'm super excited. I've never seen anything like this.
[15:09] bags, and we'll go ahead and check this out together. Okay, we have now officially touched down. We have checked in to the nicest hotel in Shenzhen, and
[15:21] we are now going to leave from here. And we're going to head straight to the And we're going to head straight to the warehouse.
[15:33] We have touchdown and we have now made it to the factory. This is a lot lot of floors, a lot of people and a lot of work. Wow.
[15:46] then you do recall something about that. >> Yeah. Supply because we don't all we receive. We will Okay. So cool.
[15:58] We will Okay. So cool. So cool. Here is our quality check uh line. Wow. Checking every single item here. One by one. So she's basically just taking the inventory and checking it one
[16:13] by one. Uh yeah. Wow. That's all all of them do that? >> the items Wow. They open every single box up and Wow. They open every single box up and check every single item one by one. Real
[16:26] quality assurance in here. This whole entire box is just to make sure that the inventory is done the right way. If you guys don't know about high quality shipping and delivery, this is obviously where you need to be at. Wow. This is
[16:38] Team Drop? >> Yeah, you have to. It's a crazy life to live over here, y'all. Oh my goodness. Look at our product in real time. Wow. Look at our product in real time. Wow. That is crazy. It's my product in my
[16:52] hands at the warehouse. This is really it, too. Like look at the branding. it, too. Like look at the branding. Sorel. Like this is crazy. You see, the funny thing is is that most gurus teaching drop shipping have never
[17:04] selling. They've never been to a warehouse. They've definitely never met a supplier or even worse, they don't even drop ship still. And not only am I doing it myself, but I have a a student doing over $30,000 a month
[17:18] it, you can do it, too. And there's nothing different from him to you. All first step. So, if you want real mentorship and guidance, click the link down below in the description. Holy We need to increase our
[17:32] volume. Did I order that much? Let's open it up. I'm going to open it up right now. Never actually seen our product in hand.
[17:44] products in real time. If you ever want to be able to see what mass distribution products and seeing the quality assurance behind it, all you have to do
[17:56] flight, shouldn't take too long. Yeah, it's all packed, you know, so they are ready for shipment. Yeah, this is all good. Oh my goodness. Our product in real hands. This is crazy. This is
[18:09] really a nice book, too. Wow. I thought that was it. It goes all the way over here. I'm like, wow. How does Team Joe make money? >> I'm like, how? Yeah.
[18:27] millions of dollars in here right now. Should I start packaging some orders? best way to do product research? What is the hack to find winning products?" And
[18:41] I'll show you guys something that nobody else out there does. And it's just by coming to the warehouses and seeing what they're packaging. All these orders, all these carts, these are all winning products. Realistically, you come here,
[18:54] you see what is being sold in mass inventory, and then you have a winning message is to all my brand owners. And even if you're watching you're not a brand owner yet, I want you to take this as a learning lesson. Quality assurance
[19:08] running a successful e-commerce brand. And the best way to see the right type coming to the warehouses that are actually manufacturing and creating these products every single day. I'm watching, literally, real people in real
[19:22] time opening the packages, checking them out, shipping it all out, and showing the whole process from A through Z. This is real quality assurance, and this is you're shipping to your customers are actually going to be great and that you
[19:36] believe in the product just as well as what you see it online. If you are a six figures, even scale up to seven figures, you need to come to these warehouses and you need to see the process. So, what you are shipping out
[19:49] has the quality behind it. Look, for all you guys out there that are doing you need to make sure that the products that you're selling are actually high quality or you're going to deal with problems that I had, chargebacks,
[20:01] refunds, and a lot of angry customers. So, one of the best things that you can do is just work with a high-quality supplier. And this should show you what don't want to find a supplier that's just going to randomly throw some
[20:13] quality behind it. But, when we come to these type of warehouses and we see this type of quality, we know that the supplier that we're using is going to make our products very great, make our customers extremely happy, and make us
[20:27] as business owners even more happier cuz we know that the products that we're selling are going to have the quality behind it. The number one way that you will fail with drop shipping is by choosing the wrong supplier. And what
[20:39] you can see here is a real system behind the fulfillment that you need to have behind your business in 2026. This is insane. Do they all work for AC by or Team Drop? Team Drop. Team Drop. Or kind of both? Yeah, they're both.
[20:57] leaving the city of warehouses. Yesterday was a full experience that, honestly, just feels like it brought everything together. So, we went to the team drop warehouse and we saw probably like
[21:11] over 20 million dollars in inventory and the full production. Like it was insane seeing the quality checks, the quality assurance, the packaging, how they're transporting it to the vehicles and how it's making it to your home in 4 to, you
[21:25] know, 7 days. And the craziest part is I tell you guys all the time, the number customers at Supreme Ecom is that we practice what we preach, which means that I still run drop shipping stores and e-commerce brands to this day and I
[21:38] recommend you guys to use it. So, when we got to the warehouse yesterday, I actually got to see my products and it was actually insane. Like there was just boxes and boxes and boxes of the two brands that I'm running and just seeing
[21:53] that they put behind checking each product, it made me feel even more shipping and delivering to my customers. So, that entire experience was one-of-a-kind. It was something that I genuinely am so happy that I came out
[22:08] here to be able to see and it just makes me feel that I know that the supplier that we're working with is the best supplier in the world. These are not other companies. They have it themselves. And this was only one
[22:21] warehouse, okay? They have four out here. Four. And we saw just one. The amount of effort, time, and real people who are working these products every day, it's just mind-blowing. And now just after getting that experience, it
[22:35] just makes me feel even better about working with Team Drop and recommending working with Team Drop and recommending Team Drop to you guys.
[22:55] Cheers to Shanghai. Cheers to a great trip. Cheers to a sad ending, but trip. Cheers to a sad ending, but amazing friends, amazing partnerships, and amazing blessings. Shout out to everything from Team Drop and Supreme
