Looking for suppliers from China platform(not Aliexpress)

[Frank_Richard97]

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to run a store for toys. Now I plan to use Antdiy and Dsers, which are linked with Aliexpress.

I heard that there is another supplier platform named 1688 or 1866 which is also from China. It has lower price than Aliexpress. Can I know how to link with this platform or find the suppliers on it if I don’t understand Chinese? Anyone can help? Thanks.

1688 is a China domestic platform. You will need to have cross border logistic and at least a good interpreter for conversation.

Hello @Frank_Richard97 

1688 only for Chinese buyers.

Maybe Chinese Buyers can help proactively.

Hi @Frank_Richard97 ,

1688 is really a good platform.

To use it properly, you will need to overcome the difficulties below:

*Language(the suppliers does not speak in English or other languages, only Chinese available)

*Method of payment(as this platform is not available with some common international financial company like for example: Paypal, Stripe. You will need a person to pay for the products in RMB via Ali-Pay or domestic bank)

*Quality Control(You will need a person to check the stuffs before shipping them out, and negotiate with the supplier if there is any issue with the product quality)

*Shipment(the supplier on that platform does not support international logistics, you will need a person to do the shipments for you after the goods was purchased)

I have been helping my customers purchasing products from 1688 for a long time(Most of them are working with Amazon, Wish). Do let me know if you need a person with characteristics included above, we can talk about how it works in details.

Regards,

Simon
