How You Can Easily Buy Products From 1688.com Website In China
In this article we are going to fulfill one of the promises I made earlier in our discussion on importing goods from China. Though I also told you that China is not the only country from which you can import products to sell in your country. There are many other countries all over the world from where you can buy high quality goods that are cheap which will give you good profit. As we go on in our series, we will continue to reveal them one after the other.
We are going a step further in this article with the introduction of another website you can go to and buy your products from in China. You may ask what is special about 1688.com? It can be regarded as a native Chinese market, a market that uses only the Chinese language to conduct their businesses. It sounds strange but it is true, you need to understand the Chinese language before trading on their platform easily. So, one may be tempted to ask why should a website presenting itself to the world be developed with Chinese language and still want the outside world to trade with them.
This website is reputed to be where you can buy goods cheaper than any other one in China, though they use only the Chinese language to communicate among themselves. It is reputed to be the largest website where you can go to and source goods wholesale in China. It is one of the most popular websites in China for the Chinese people. It is mainly for wholesalers and manufacturing companies. Remember that when we were dealing with AliExpress, you can go to their website and place an order for a single product and the product will be delivered. This website is different as the sellers here deal in large quantities and manufacturers come here to take advantage of it.
It may interest you to note that for any business to be registered and listed on this website, it must obtain government licences to be able to be listed here. They must also pay an annual fee to show seriousness and commitment in the relationship. This tells us that they are there for serious business. All these actions are being taken by the promoters of the website to weed out scammers and time wasters from the website. It may interest you to know that 1688.com belongs to the Alibaba group.
Why do Chinese people want to buy goods from 1688.com? It is because they are the largest wholesale website in China and their products are relatively cheaper than other websites. A lot of trading companies in China go to the website to buy goods at cheap prices and resell to the international market. You will be shocked to know that many traders from various websites come to 1688.com to buy goods they sell.
Then the question is how will non-Chinese speaking clients communicate with the suppliers on that website? The simplest solution is to have an agent in China to help you in buying goods and shipping them to you in Nigeria.
You will remember how I took time to explain the concept of the agent system in the China importation business. As a beginner you are advised to please start with a trusted agent probably introduced to you by a known person. It is easier to work with an agent initially until you have your feet strong and solid on the ground in the business.
Most of the suppliers on this website speak only Chinese because the website is mainly for Chinese businesses. Therefore as a beginner it will pay you to start with a trusted agent in China and learn the ropes so that you do not make mistakes that will cost you money. You know that this is an international business; correcting mistakes can sometimes take time and money.
In our next article we will talk about how you can make payments to suppliers on 1688.com. The payment systems they accept and also how to translate Chinese to English to enable you do business on your own there.
