Can anyone put me in contact with someone who is able to get products from the US military? Deodorant and the like.. possibly in reasonably large quantities.

Thanks.

Buy everything at costco and re-sell.

That's what the Korean stores are doing. Not as risky as black marketing.

or go near the bases Smile...Songtan has an extentive foriegn product market. Start wandering the back streets and you'll find them. Of course these are black markets and if that's not really your thing then so be it but quite a few teachers do a lot of shopping there.

If you have friends on the military base they might be able to give you the odd product once in a while, but it is illegal for people on the base to buy products to resell off base. They put their jobs at stake if they do. That's why you need a military ID to even to get into the PX and the commisary. Good luck finding someone willing to do it for you... especially since you are asking for help online.

You don't have to be interested in the legal side of things...
The people who are buying are the ones who will lose their jobs (or their sponsor's job) for it. I doubt you'd be able to find too many folks interested in doing it. It's not worth the money they would make.

You are all right, we can get in a lot of trouble for doing it, I would not mind helping people out but like one nottanya said asking online is risky, we do not know if you are customs agents or something trying to set us up.
