Tips for buying across districts
- Plan by district, not by product list. Group your items by where they are sold so you walk each district once. For travel and timing, see how to visit Yiwu market.
- Expect wholesale minimums. Most booths sell by the carton or by a minimum per item. See typical MOQs by product.
- Booths often show samples only. Stock is usually kept in a warehouse or made in a factory elsewhere, so ask for lead time as well as price.
- Write everything down. Photograph each booth's name card and the item, and note price, minimum and lead time.
- Combine before you ship. Goods from many districts can be collected and packed into one shipment. See how consolidation works and shipping options from Yiwu.
