What challenges of purchasing directly from 1688?
Purchasing directly from 1688 suppliers is not only time-consuming, but can be a troublesome and risky task.
Language Barrier
Because 1688 is for the Chinese domestic market, the platform is only available in Chinese language. This is difficult for foreigners who do not speak Chinese. At the same time, most of the sellers on it can't speak proper English, so it will be difficult to communicate with suppliers.
Payment Method
The biggest problem for international buyers to purchase in 1688 is payment, because the suppliers on 1688 generally support payment methods such as Alipay, WeChat, and domestic bank transfers in China.
Quality Inspection
After the goods are ready to be shipped, they should be rechecked in the quality, quantity, packing and all the other issues to make sure that the goods are conforming to your requirement before delivery.
Shipping
Most sellers will not help you send products overseas. If you are buying several different kinds of products, with no one helping you repack them into one box, the shipping fees can be very high.
