Or does ordering direct require some kind of special training?

Those rednecks appear to have no special training other than an 8th grade education

Alibaba has them. If you order now they can be fresh off the boat for New Years.

Im sure you will have to purchase a shipping container full. You will have to pay someone to "bring it in" through customs. May as well buy some madis gras beads while you're at it.

My guess is the USPS / UPS aren't real keen on transporting and delivery of explosives? so you might have to arrange private transport from the dock.

Looks like some serious minimum orders on a lot of their stuff.

All the stands on the westbank are owned by the same group of cops.

You'll have to order a container full. Importing it alone would cost a few grand.

Price breakdown.

$40 per case leaves room for lots of profit.

Would a single stand go through 700-1000 cases? or would uou need multiple stands for this volume?

Multiple stands. That's a lot of product. Storage will be a problem also. That's more than one large storage unit.

Also, the us sites in the link above were running $100-200 per case, so importing yourself would be best.

a friend of mine's dad ordered some through a big distributor for a few years when he had a stand. I'm assuming the distributor imported it from overseas. The mark up he was able to make was stupid. Something like 500% on the small stuff and 150-250% on the bigger items.
