Common questions

Buyer FAQ

Straight answers on minimums, fees, payments and quality checks.

Is there a minimum order?

We have no quantity minimum of our own beyond the US$50 service-fee floor per sourcing order. Small trial orders are welcome. Each supplier sets its own minimum, often one carton or a few hundred pieces per item. We tell you the minimum for every item before you decide, and we ask for less when we can. Typical MOQs by product.

How much does it cost?

A flat 10% service fee on the goods value only, with a US$50 minimum per sourcing order. That covers sourcing or buying, negotiation in Chinese, order follow-up, our quality check with photos and video, and packing many booths together into one shipment. Quotes are free and you see supplier receipts. Samples, international shipping, and any third-party lab tests are billed separately at cost. See worked fee examples.

How do I pay?

By bank transfer to our company account in China, or by PayPal. We send you a clear line-item invoice first.

I already have a supplier or parcels to combine. Can you still help?

Yes. If you send us your supplier’s WeChat, 1688 or Alibaba link (agent vs. buying directly) and want us to buy, follow up, quality-check and consolidate, the same 10% service fee (US$50 minimum) applies. If you already paid your suppliers yourself and only need warehouse receiving and repacking in Yiwu, standalone parcel consolidation starts at ¥5 RMB per inbound parcel (up to 5 items) and ¥20 RMB per repacked carton up to 10 kg, with 30 days of free small-parcel storage — message us on WhatsApp first before sending any parcels.

Do you help first-time importers?

Yes. Many buyers start with a small trial order from a few booths. We explain options in plain English, show supplier receipts, and pack everything into one shipment so you are not juggling several couriers. How to plan a small trial order.

How long does it take?

Quotes usually take 1–2 working days. Goods in stock are usually ready in 3–7 days, and custom goods in 15–30 days. Then add the shipping time for the method you choose.

Can you ship to my country?

Yes, to most countries. Door-to-door delivery with duties paid is available to many countries. Tell us your city and we'll check the options and prices.

Can you put my logo on the products?

Often, yes. Many suppliers can print or engrave logos and make custom labels, cards and boxes. Custom work usually needs a bigger order, and we'll ask how many.

What if something is wrong with my goods?

We check your goods in Yiwu and send you photos before they ship. If a supplier sends the wrong or faulty items, we get them replaced or refunded before the goods leave China. How we check quality.

Can I visit Yiwu with you?

Yes. Tell us your dates. We'll meet you, walk the market with you and help you order on the spot.

Do you only buy in Yiwu market?

Mostly. If an item is made somewhere else in China, we can buy it from the factory and ship it together with your Yiwu goods.

Can you buy branded goods?

No. We don't buy or ship fake brands or copies of famous logos.

Do you offer one-piece dropshipping?

No. We work on batch orders: we buy your goods, check them in Yiwu and send them to you in one consolidated shipment, with a US$50 minimum service fee per sourcing order. We don’t send single items one by one to your end customers.
