2022-05-23 17:05
Finding good supplier is the most basic step in an import project. However, Covid-19 pandemic makes importers difficult to travel to China to look for suppliers at fairs or visit factories. They begin to go to the Internet to look for suppliers. I will present four pages below that they must know in search of suppliers.
1. https://www.alibaba.com/
It is a very useful platform to search for suppliers of all categories because it is designed to do business with Chinese suppliers. Recently more suppliers from other countries also register as sellers on the platform. With assorted language options, it makes it easy for importers around the world to navigate. Guarantee every transaction they make through the platform. In Alibaba there are direct factories and also intermediary companies, if they prefer to buy from factories, knowing how to distinguish between factories and intermediaries is important.
2.https://www.made-in-china.com/
Made-in-China is quite alike with Alibaba, the differece is on that these two platforms are owned by different parent companies.
3.https://www.1688.com/
It is a page for wholesale in China (of course some stores also sell retail). It is just in Chinese and only accept payment in Chinese currency (yuan), and the purchased products will be shipped to a Chinese address. Using a browser translator makes it possible for you to select the products you want on this page.
In 1688 it is possible to find cheaper prices than on Alibaba, but being foreigners you cannot complete a purchase yourselves, it is necessary to have a partner or an agent in China who helps you pay through the platform, receive packages and then send to your country. Our company, China-Latin, offers you this service.
4.https://www.taobao.com/
Taobao in China is like Amazon in the United States, very popular for buying daily supplies. If you want to buy little product to do small business on the Internet, you can consider Taobao. Buying on Taobao also needs to have an agent in China to receive products.
If you still can't find what you want on these pages or you don't trust the suppliers you find, ask a professional purchasing agent who looks for good and reliable suppliers is a good option. Our company, China-Latin, have already sought suppliers for more than a hundred clients and it was a great help for our clients to carry out their first successful import.
