Making Chinese Manufacturing and Shipping Less Complicated for American Businesses | President at MGD Solutions

Manufacturing in China is frustrating.

Without relationships and a presence on the factory floor, the barrier to success is more than just communication:
Agents are taking a cut
You have to wire funds upfront
Shipping is a complicated slow nightmare that can unexpectedly take months

None of that has to be true.

My grandparents Murray and Goldie Damast (MGD) started the family manufacturing business just shy of 100 years ago. I became the first “IT Department” at 12. 

Today, MGD Solutions helps companies of all sizes from design to delivery:
- Pay nothing upfront
- Pay by credit card when the bill is due
- Get shipments from the factory floor to your warehouse door in as few as 14 days

Business owners, merchandise managers, and entrepreneurs interact with our NY-based team while our team on the ground in our Yiwu, Qingdao and Guangzhou factories make sure your products are manufactured within the standards and timeline you expect. 

But you should know — manufacturing is only half the battle. 

We land multiple containers in the Port of Los Angeles every week. 

And our ocean freight consolidation service means products are delivered: 
- For up to 30% less
- In as few as 10 days
- With customs clearance and freight segregation included

I joined my dad in the office during a school holiday in 1994. 
I’ve seen a lot since then, and here’s what I know:

Manufacturing in China doesn’t have to be frustrating.  
Shipping doesn’t have to be complicated and slow.

Let’s talk. DM me.

From losing my brother on 9/11, and then my father to lung cancer 3 short years later, to a failed invention to several more business failures including a restaurant and dance studio, to building a million dollar amazon business with an over $2MM exit ...I am an inventor, a serial entrepreneur and a never give up’per with a deep love for sourcing, product development, logistics and treasure hunting...for products I can sell of course. I am most importantly a professional dog lover. 

The night before 9/11 my brother Guy who was 29 years old making a six figure salary at Cantor Fitzgerald in the WTC told me he was unhappy with his job. Working 16 hour days including a brutally long commute he had no life/work balance and expressed his desire to do something more entrepreneurial. The next day my brother was killed. The tragic loss of my beloved brother would set the trajectory for my future career. I went from corporate America to having a restaurant business which failed then a dance studio that failed. I then created my own product which failed many times, until I found Amazon where it became a #1 best seller. My success on Amazon is a true testament to the lesson my brothers untimely and tragic death taught me about the importance of loving what you do for a living and never giving up.

I left MDS and I’m starting a new group for over seven figure sellers only. 

I’m open to names otherwise it’s just going to be called Over Seven Figures Operators. 

No frills. No trips. No nonsense. 

Just a group of high revenue operators to come together share tatics and strategies without bureaucracy and FREE! 

Yes I said FREE. No ridiculous thousand million dollar price tag. 

I’m not interested in monetizing this. We just need a place where we can share ideas and be each others seller central.

For me it will be a labor of love. 

Service providers will be welcome WITH CAVEATS. I do have to approve service providers. I’m not going to have a million of them. No ninja BS. And you have to have been in the space for quite some time with a good reputation. References from brands you have worked with will be required if I don’t already know you. No spam. I’ll provide one day every week or one day a month where you can pitch your services however you must be active in the group and provide value. You can’t just be there to post about your services once a month. 

If you’re interested in joining let me know and I’ll send you a link to the group which will be a private group on Facebook because I’m an OG (old gal…but also slightly gangster because of my napoleon complex…but also an OG seller circa 2014) and I hate slack and I’m not building a website where you have to login and remember your password then forget it then change it a million times. 

Let’s KISS. Keep it simple stupid. 

Lastly just because it’s free doesn’t mean it will be a free for all.  Members will have to be approved and provide revenue verification unless I already know you then you’re in. 

Interested? Let me know and I’ll send you the link to the group. 

Not just for amazon sellers. All high revenue ecom operators welcome.

I sell adult sex toys.

Actually I don't but when you get to #1 and the best seller badge on amazon bad actors will do everything they can to take you down by using black hat tactics to try and sabotage your business.

These people got INTO my listing somehow and put adult sex toys in a bunch of my attributes. Scumbags.

If you get to #1 and get the best seller badge pay close attention to your listings because some WILL try and not just knock you out of your spot but they will try and take down your entire business. 

THANK GOD I am working with GNO Partners. My freaking hero James Johnson caught this immediately and had the team fix it before my listing got taken down. If he hadn't caught that I never would have until it was too late and then I'd be crying and scrambling to try and fix this issue which could take days and literally tens of thousands in lost sales.

People truly suck and its a shame that amazon cannot prevent this from happening without having to join some program. Amazon needs to better protect its sellers.

It's a jungle out there. Stay safe.

Wanna know how I went from $10K a day to $30K a day in a matter of weeks? (Screenshots were taken midday) How in the last 7 days my YOY increased by 136%, my 30 day YOY increased by 63%, how this month I'm up 75% YOY and how I'm up 45% YTD YOY? And how as a result I'm on track to do $7M + in 2026...with VERY HEALTHY (20%) net profit margins? 

I don’t post inflated top-line numbers to impress. This is real growth with real margins (20% net).

If you’re doing over $1M in annual revenue, this is for you.

Join my new group, (it’s FREE) OSF – Over Seven Figure Ecom Operators. Tomorrow, I’m sharing the exact strategy GNO Partners used to help me get there.

The group since JUST YESTERDAY (or was it Sunday?) already has 100 - ONE HUNDRED - sellers doing well over one million dollars! More like $5M, $10M and $30M it's actually bananas.

Anyway, this actually makes me feel gross to do but if you want to join comment "strategy" below and I'll send you a link to the group.

Or just DM me.
