Dropshipping from 1688.com is a smart way to reduce your cost. 1688.com is another version of alibaba.com, all of them are a wholesale platform in China, the difference is 1688.com is for local wholesale(China Only), the Alibaba.com is for international wholesale. Both of them will have minimum order quantity when purchase, and belong to Jack Ma(Alibaba Group Founder) Instead of 1688.com, Taobao.com and Tmall.com is another version of Amazon, eBay, Aliexpress, Wish and they are also only available to the local market(China Only). Looks like it is very hard to work with 1688.com, definitely, it will not be easy. There are five difficult, language, payment, time difference, minimum order quantity or they do not know how to do drop shipping international.

  1. Language: Vendors on 1688.com and taobao.com they do not speak English since Chinese mother language is Mandarin. But you still have a way to talk with them by Translator.

 

  1. Payment: Vendors on 1688.com and taobao.com receiving payment by Alipay, they are CNY currency, and drop shippers are using Stripe, PayPal which are unavailable to Vendors there. They only accept CNY instead of US Dollar despite the US Dollar is an international currency.

 

  1. Time difference: Chinese working time is Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Shanghai China Time (GMT+8). But most of the drop shippers are sleeping in their country, it will be very hard to keep communicating with them when you are in sleeping time daily since sometimes you need your issue solved quickly. You can not bear to wait again and again.

 

  1. Minimum order quantity: There is minimum order quantity for each product even for variants when you placing an order on 1688.com. It just like on Alibaba.com. They do not do retail, and it would be hard too once you are going to test some Facebook Ads for the niches. You would not like to buy bulk, you just would like to drop ship and no inventory.

 

  1. They do not know how to drop ship internationally: Vendors on 1688.com to understand what is drop shipping, and know how to drop ship, but it is still only available to Local business( Domestic drop shipping). Drop shipping international will be more difficult than domestic, it required knowledge of the foreign trade, especially shipping method, and custom declare. There are tons of shipping method for choose, and each shipping method is different use: My CJ. There will be troubled if they do the processing and shipping for you.
