A buying service built around your product brief.<\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n
\n\n

Buying from 1688 involves more than choosing a listing. An overseas order needs a clear product specification, a workable supplier payment arrangement, a China receiving plan and a route to the final destination. When different people handle those steps without the same instructions, a small detail can turn into the wrong variant, an unmatched parcel or an unexpected handling charge. A buying agent brings that coordination into one purchase plan.<\/p>\n\n\n

The starting point is the product you actually want to receive. A link is useful, but the selected colour, size, material, quantity and retail packaging should be recorded separately. If the listing changes or contains several variants, a screenshot and a written description help keep the intended order clear. Share any sample reference or acceptable tolerance before the supplier order is approved.<\/p>\n\n\n

This service is useful for a first mixed order, replenishment from several sellers or a purchase that needs local supplier follow-up. It does not replace your decision about product suitability, supplier capability or requirements in your destination market. Start with the smallest practical set of requirements you can verify, then expand an order only when the specifications and complete costs make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

How the service works.<\/h2>\n\n\n

Use these decision points to keep the order, evidence and approvals connected.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n

    \n
  1. \n\n

    Send a purchase brief<\/h3>\n\n\n

    Share product links, quantities, variants and destination details. Identify anything that must stay unchanged, such as materials, retail boxes or a required colour.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n\n

    Resolve supplier questions<\/h3>\n\n\n

    Review availability, minimum quantities and unclear specifications. Agree how a substitute, price change or partial stock situation should be handled before proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n\n

    Approve the buying costs<\/h3>\n\n\n

    Review product value, China domestic transport and the buying or payment services involved. Confirm the payment route and charges in the purchase plan.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n\n

    Match warehouse arrivals<\/h3>\n\n\n

    Keep supplier order references and domestic tracking numbers together. Match packages to the order list so a delayed or missing package can be investigated.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n\n

    Review checks and packing<\/h3>\n\n\n

    Approve any inspection scope, consider discrepancies and decide how goods should be combined or protected before international transport.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n\n

    Confirm the delivery plan<\/h3>\n\n\n

    Review packed measurements, available routes, customs responsibilities and delivery scope. Approve dispatch when the shipment requirements are clear.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/li>\n\n<\/ol>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

    Costs and responsibilitiesto confirm first.<\/h2>\n\nSee the pricing breakdown<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n
    \n\n

    Compare the full purchase, not only the agent charge. A quote should distinguish the product amount, supplier domestic transport, buying and payment charges, optional inspection, warehouse handling and international delivery. Ask which items are already included and which are charged only if requested.<\/p>\n\n\n

    A repeat order may still require a fresh confirmation. A supplier can change stock, packaging or price, and a revised destination can change the delivery cost. Keep the approved brief and the latest cost breakdown together rather than assuming an earlier order applies unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n
