Before we talk about our products, our business and who are some of our customers, if you are going to trust us with your hard earned money, we think you deserve to know who we are first. The owners of Handy Imports are family members who started from the most humble of beginnings. A lot is personal so we will skip pass the cultural background and the extreme difficulties faced in setting up in our newly found home in Australia. The year was 2000 and the odds were stacked right against us. The parents went off trying to get their “foreign” qualifications to bear any fruits while the two sons went off getting their own education in place. However, the parents were soon realising it would be almost impossible to get a job with their own qualifications & lifetime careers. Eager to contribute to society & help rebuild a future for the family they started getting short courses done and wore low skill work like a badge of honour. The sons were also working hard, finishing up school, getting into university while working the nights. Once the minute savings amounted to a small capital, basic business ideas were explored. Few failed and they did hurt, but they weren’t big enough in the first place so couldn’t to cripple. Some succeeded like the detergent manufacturing company the engineer parents established from the granny flat, it was a lot of hard work but was paying the bills, at least most of the times!! The success was a massive boost in terms of confidence and some dollars but weren’t big enough to make the transition, it just helped like all the other efforts in setting the stage for it. Then one day, one of the sons purchased a Dell laptop from Graysonline in the hope to sell it at a higher price on eBay. It was a loss in dollar terms but the potential for a profitable experience with few tweaks was noticed. One of those tweaks, was to cut out the postage charge from Graysonline’s side by attending their then traditional auction in Smithfield.
