So, you have to use Google Translate or find someone who can read Chinese to help you find a supplier on this website.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Why should I show you a website entirely in Chinese now?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">The reason is that sometimes Chinese suppliers have an inherent prejudice against Americans, Europeans and other foreigners when they offer quotes on Alibaba.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">In other words, sometimes, the same suppliers you find on Alibaba and 1688.com will offer higher prices for foreign companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Here is what you can do to make sure you get the lowest price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Whenever you complete the price negotiation of an Alibaba supplier, you should also contact the same supplier through 1688.com and provide a different e-mail address to see if the quotation is other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">If the prices are similar, it\u2019s all good. However, if the prices are very different, you should find out the exact reason for the difference. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">In general, you can work with Alibaba and 1688.com to make sure that you get the lowest price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ON4DqBHT5Yo?t=19s\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica;\">Is 1688 Cheaper than AliExpress?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica;\">Yes. 1688 intends to accommodate direct manufacturers and wholesalers. Therefore, the rate provided by the factory owner will be lower than the rate provided by the distributor or intermediary. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica;\">On AliExpress, sellers increase revenue through advertising. Compared with the prices provided by the 1688 website, the price of the product wearing the advertisement is usually a little higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">What is 1688 Dropshipping? <\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">1688 dropshipping is the option to source your products from 1688.com. Just like you dropship products from AliExpress, you would have to change your product sourcing to 1688. This is the whole idea of 1688 dropshipping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Is 1688 Good for Dropshipping?<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Both AliExpress and 1688 have their advantages and disadvantages of dropshipping. AliExpress is a multi-language drop-ship platform. Overseas drop-shippers can find and communicate with suppliers without any problems. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">While 1688 is in Chinese, drop-shippers need to search Chinese and communicate with suppliers through Google Translate. , Which is neither convenient nor correct.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">AliExpress&#8217; payment method can be credit card, Paypal, or International Alipay. However, 1688 only accepts China Alipay and debit cards in China. Unless you register a Hong Kong company to purchase US dollars, it is difficult to pay to drop shippers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">AliExpress provides free shipping services worldwide, while 1688 only ships in China.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Finally, we come to the product cost, which is undoubtedly cheaper than Alibaba\/AliExpress product price in 1688, but you need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/our-services\/1688-agent-china\/\">1688 agent<\/a> to help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/how-to-buy-from-1688\/\">buy from 1688<\/a>. Drop shipping cannot directly pay for 1688, and shipping costs from China to overseas are usually high than AliExpress. Of course, this is faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Based on this point of view<\/strong>, if you start dropshipping from 1688, it is not cheaper than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/aliexpress-rep-list\/\">AliExpress<\/a>, because you will have to pay agency fees and higher shipping costs. This does not make your business competitive in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">What were the benefits of dropship in 1688? There is no doubt that 1688 has more products and cheaper suppliers. If you have stable sales every month and want to build your brand, 1688 may be better. It can greatly reduce your costs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">For example, if you sell 20 to 30 orders per day for juicers, then 1688 is a good choice for you to customize your logo without additional cost. You only need to meet the supplier logo to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/find-low-moq-alibaba-suppliers\/\">customize MOQ<\/a>, which may be 200 to 300, and you can sell out in 10 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3596 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1688-dropshipping-agent.jpg\" alt=\"1688 dropshipping agent\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1688-dropshipping-agent.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1688-dropshipping-agent-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1688-dropshipping-agent-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1688-dropshipping-agent-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.supplyia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1688-dropshipping-agent-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\"><b><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong><b>1688 Advantage and Disadvantage:<\/b><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1688.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><u>1688<\/u><\/a>\u00a0is a Chinese suppliers\u2019 list that is also owned by the Alibaba Group.
