How to Buy from 1688 and Ship Internationally

1688 is one of the most important sourcing platforms for buyers looking for products directly from Chinese manufacturers, wholesalers and domestic distributors.

For overseas buyers, however, finding a good product is only the first half of the process.

After placing orders with one or several 1688 suppliers, you still need to solve several practical questions:

  • Where should the suppliers send the goods in China?
  • How can products from different 1688 sellers be combined?
  • Who checks the number of cartons received?
  • Can the packaging be changed before export?
  • How do you ship one small parcel instead of an entire shipment?
  • How do you send oversized goods purchased on 1688?
  • Who arranges China export customs clearance?
  • Can the shipment be delivered DDP to the USA, Canada, Europe or Australia?
  • Can one logistics company coordinate everything from the Chinese warehouse to the final door?

This is where a China-based 1688 freight forwarder and consolidation warehouse becomes important.

CHINA BRF LOGISTICS can receive products purchased from 1688 at coordinated warehouses in Qingdao, Shanghai, Yiwu and Shenzhen, combine goods from multiple suppliers, prepare them for export and arrange international transportation.

Depending on the shipment, we can coordinate anything from small parcels and one-piece fulfillment to pallets, LCL cargo, full containers and oversized project cargo, followed by eligible DDP or door-to-door delivery to the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia.

What Is 1688?

1688.com is a Chinese wholesale marketplace used extensively by manufacturers, wholesalers, traders and domestic commercial buyers.

Unlike Alibaba.com, which is designed primarily around international B2B trade, 1688 has historically focused much more heavily on China’s domestic market.

This is one of the reasons international buyers often find attractive factory-level or wholesale pricing on 1688.

However, the domestic-market focus also creates additional challenges.

Many sellers expect:

  • Communication in Chinese
  • A Chinese delivery address
  • Domestic Chinese freight arrangements
  • Local payment methods
  • Buyers who understand Chinese product descriptions
  • Buyers who can handle export shipping separately

In other words, a supplier may be very capable of producing or selling the product you need without having an international logistics department.

That does not necessarily make the supplier unsuitable.

It simply means that you may need to separate two jobs:

Product Purchase

e

International Logistics

BRF Logistics focuses on the second part of that process: receiving, collecting, consolidating and shipping the products after purchase.


1688 vs Alibaba: Which Is Better for International Buyers?

1688 and Alibaba.com can sometimes list similar products, but they serve different buying environments.

Alibaba.com

Alibaba.com is generally easier for overseas buyers because it is designed around international B2B transactions.

Suppliers may already understand:

  • Imballaggio per l'esportazione
  • English communication
  • International payment
  • FOB/CIF terms
  • Documentazione di esportazione
  • International freight requirements
1688

1688 is much more closely connected to China’s domestic wholesale and manufacturing ecosystem.

It can be attractive when buyers want:

  • More supplier choices
  • Domestic Chinese wholesale pricing
  • Lower-volume products
  • Components and semi-finished goods
  • Confezione
  • Accessories
  • Mobili
  • Household products
  • Hardware
  • Textile products
  • Industrial materials
  • OEM components
  • Products from multiple different sellers

The trade-off is that you usually need a stronger logistics setup inside China.

That is why overseas buyers frequently combine 1688 purchasing with a China warehouse and international freight-forwarding service.


Can Foreign Buyers Buy from 1688?

International buyers can source products from 1688, but the exact purchasing process varies.

Some buyers operate their own 1688 accounts and make payments directly.

Others use:

  • Chinese employees
  • Purchasing companies
  • Sourcing agents
  • Local business partners
  • Procurement offices

The important point is to distinguish the purchasing role from the shipping role.

CHINA BRF LOGISTICS can receive or collect products purchased from your 1688 suppliers and coordinate the logistics process.

Unless separately agreed in writing, the buyer remains responsible for:

  • Selecting the supplier
  • Negotiating product specifications
  • Agreeing the purchase price
  • Making the product payment
  • Confirming product quality requirements

BRF then connects the purchased goods with the international logistics chain.


How to Buy from 1688 Step by Step

A practical 1688 purchasing workflow normally looks like this:

Search Products → Compare Suppliers → Verify Product Details → Confirm MOQ → Order Samples → Negotiate → Place Order → Send Supplier BRF Warehouse Address → BRF Receives Cargo → Consolidate → Export → International Shipping → Customs → Final Delivery

Let’s look at each stage.


Step 1: Search for Products on 1688

Start by searching for the exact product you need.

Specific searches normally produce better results than broad searches.

For example, instead of searching only for:

aluminum fence

you may search for a more detailed specification such as:

powder coated aluminum horizontal slat fence

The more information you already know about the product, the easier it becomes to compare suppliers.

Useful details include:

  • Materiale
  • Dimensioni
  • Grade
  • Color
  • Finish
  • Product weight
  • Applicazione
  • Confezione
  • Required quantity
  • OEM requirements

Browser translation tools can help overseas buyers understand Chinese product listings, although technical specifications should always be confirmed directly with the supplier.


Step 2: Compare Several 1688 Suppliers

Do not automatically buy from the first supplier with the lowest price.

Compare several suppliers.

Important points include:

  • Company information
  • Years in operation
  • Main product category
  • Product photos
  • Transaction history
  • Buyer reviews
  • Factory or trading-company status
  • Specifiche del prodotto
  • MOQ
  • Production lead time
  • Confezione
  • Customization capability

A slightly higher product price may sometimes be worthwhile if the supplier provides more consistent quality, stronger packaging or better production control.


Step 3: Confirm the Product Specification

Before paying for a commercial order, confirm exactly what you are buying.

Ad esempio:

Material: Aluminum 6063-T5
Color: RAL 7016
Finish: Powder coated
Length: 1,800 mm
Quantity: 300 pcs
Packaging: Export carton + pallet

Never rely only on the product title.

Detailed specifications become particularly important when the cargo needs:

  • Dichiarazione doganale di esportazione
  • HS classification
  • Sdoganamento delle importazioni
  • Certification
  • Anti-dumping review
  • Special destination compliance

Step 4: Confirm the MOQ

MOQ means Minimum Order Quantity.

Different 1688 suppliers can have very different minimum-order requirements.

Some sellers may sell:

  • 1 piece
  • 5 pieces
  • 10 pieces
  • 100 pieces

while a manufacturer producing customized goods may require much larger quantities.

If you are testing a new product, ask whether the seller accepts a smaller trial order.

For e-commerce companies, this can reduce the risk of purchasing too much inventory before verifying market demand.


Step 5: Order Samples When Necessary

Samples are especially valuable for:

  • Customized products
  • Mobili
  • Clothing
  • Jewelry
  • Hardware
  • Electronic accessories
  • Confezione
  • Industrial components
  • Products where finish or workmanship is important

A sample allows you to verify the product before ordering a large quantity.

The sample can also be sent to a BRF warehouse and combined with other products for international delivery.


Step 6: Give Your Supplier a BRF Warehouse Address

One of the biggest problems for international 1688 buyers is that different suppliers may be located across China.

Supplier A might be in Shandong.

Supplier B might be in Zhejiang.

Supplier C might be in Guangdong.

Supplier D might be in Jiangsu.

Instead of asking every supplier to ship internationally, you can ask the suppliers to send the products domestically to a coordinated BRF warehouse.

BRF can route your cargo through warehouses in:

Qingdao · Shanghai · Yiwu · Shenzhen

For wider information about our China storage network, see the BRF China Warehouse Service.


Which BRF Warehouse Should You Use for 1688 Orders?

The best receiving warehouse depends primarily on where your suppliers are located and how the final shipment will leave China.

Magazzino di Qingdao

The Qingdao warehouse can be useful for products sourced from:

  • Qingdao
  • Weifang
  • Linyi
  • Zibo
  • Jinan
  • Other Shandong manufacturing areas
  • Parts of northern and central China

Qingdao is particularly practical when the final shipment will move through Qingdao Port.

Typical cargo may include:

  • Macchinari
  • Materiali da costruzione
  • Prodotti metallici
  • Fencing
  • Rubber products
  • Prodotti industriali
  • Mobili
  • Materiali di imballaggio

Magazzino di Shanghai

Our Shanghai-area warehouse solution can receive 1688 cargo sourced from suppliers around:

  • Shanghai
  • Suzhou
  • Kunshan
  • Wuxi
  • Jiangsu
  • Hangzhou
  • Nearby Zhejiang manufacturing regions

Shanghai is a useful consolidation point for both international sea freight and air freight.

If you purchase products from multiple factories around the Yangtze River Delta, consolidating them in one warehouse can make the export process much easier.


Magazzino di Yiwu

Yiwu is especially useful for buyers purchasing many smaller items from multiple suppliers.

Typical Yiwu consolidation cargo can include:

  • Gifts
  • Jewelry
  • Phone accessories
  • Giocattoli
  • Household products
  • Bags
  • Promotional merchandise
  • Small hardware
  • Fashion accessories
  • Decorative products
  • Prodotti per l'e-commerce

Instead of receiving 10 separate international shipments from 10 suppliers, each supplier can send its cartons to the BRF-coordinated Yiwu warehouse.

We can then prepare the cargo according to the selected international shipping method.


Magazzino di Shenzhen

Shenzhen is particularly useful for suppliers located in:

  • Shenzhen
  • Dongguan
  • Huizhou
  • Guangzhou
  • Foshan
  • Zhongshan
  • Guangdong orientale
  • Nearby South China manufacturing regions

Typical products may include:

  • Elettronica
  • Electronic accessories
  • Lighting
  • Hardware
  • Beni di consumo
  • Mobili
  • Parti di macchinari
  • Prodotti per l'e-commerce

Shenzhen also provides strong access to international air freight and South China ocean gateways.


What Happens After Your 1688 Orders Reach the BRF Warehouse?

This is where buying from multiple 1688 suppliers becomes much easier.

Depending on the agreed service, warehouse operations can include:

  • Receiving cartons
  • Recording supplier shipments
  • Conteggio dei pacchi
  • Checking visible external packaging
  • Measuring cartons
  • Weighing cargo
  • Taking receiving photos
  • Repacking
  • Replacing damaged external cartons
  • Palletizing
  • Labeling
  • Sorting products
  • Combining suppliers
  • Preparing export cargo
  • Carico dei container

BRF’s China warehouse network is designed to support multi-supplier consolidation before international shipping.

See our China Warehouse & Consolidation Service.


Buying from Multiple 1688 Suppliers? Consolidate Before Shipping

Imagine that you buy from eight 1688 suppliers.

Without consolidation, you could have:

Supplier 1 → International shipment
Supplier 2 → International shipment
Supplier 3 → International shipment
Supplier 4 → International shipment

and so on.

Each shipment may generate separate:

  • Pickup costs
  • Gestione delle esportazioni
  • Documentazione
  • Freight charges
  • Customs processing
  • Destination handling
  • Delivery charges

A consolidation model changes this to:

1688 Supplier A
1688 Supplier B
1688 Supplier C
1688 Supplier D
↓
BRF China Warehouse
↓
Consolidation
↓
One International Shipment
↓
Destination Customs
↓
Consegna finale

This is particularly useful for importers purchasing from several Chinese factories.

For broader China supplier consolidation services, see China Export Logistics.


Can BRF Ship Just One Product from 1688?

Yes, selected products can be handled through one-piece fulfillment / one-piece shipping arrangements.

This can be useful for:

  • Shopify sellers
  • Independent websites
  • eBay sellers
  • Marketplace sellers
  • Social-commerce sellers
  • Small online retailers

The workflow can look like this:

1688 Supplier → BRF China Warehouse → Order Received → Pick / Pack → International Parcel → Customer

This avoids sending an entire bulk shipment overseas before individual orders are created.

However, one-piece international shipping is not appropriate for every product.

Before confirming the service, we need to check:

  • Product category
  • Dimensioni
  • Peso
  • Product value
  • Battery content
  • Liquid or powder content
  • Brand/IP issues
  • Paese di destinazione
  • Required delivery speed

1688 Dropshipping vs Bulk Consolidation

There are two very different models.

Model 1: One-Piece Fulfillment

Best for smaller e-commerce orders.

Esempio:

Customer orders one product online.

BRF warehouse prepares one international package and dispatches it according to the agreed shipping channel.

Model 2: Bulk Consolidation

Best for importers that purchase inventory.

Esempio:

10 1688 suppliers send products to Yiwu.

BRF combines the cargo.

The shipment then moves as:

  • Trasporto aereo
  • LCL
  • FCL
  • DDP sea freight

to one overseas warehouse.

Both models can be useful.

The correct choice depends on your order volume and business structure.


Can BRF Handle Oversized Products Bought from 1688?

1688 is not only for small e-commerce products.

Buyers also source:

  • Macchinari
  • Mobili
  • Attrezzatura
  • Materiali da costruzione
  • Large metal products
  • Industrial components
  • Commercial equipment
  • Long cargo
  • Heavy products

BRF Logistics can evaluate oversized or heavy cargo separately.

Depending on cargo dimensions and weight, the solution may involve:

  • Heavy-duty trucking
  • Crane loading
  • Forklift loading
  • LCL
  • 20GP
  • 40GP
  • 40HQ
  • Tetto apribile
  • Rack piatto
  • OOG transportation
  • Project cargo delivery

For very large cargo, always provide exact:

Length × Width × Height + Gross Weight

before purchasing or booking transportation.

This allows us to check whether normal container shipping is possible.


How to Ship 1688 Products Internationally

Once all products arrive at the BRF warehouse, the next step is selecting the right transport method.

The main options include:

1. International Courier / Small Parcel

Suitable for:

  • Esempi
  • Small e-commerce orders
  • Prodotti leggeri
  • One-piece fulfillment

Vantaggi:

  • Fast
  • Simple tracking
  • Consegna a domicilio

Svantaggi:

  • Can become expensive as weight increases

2. Air Freight

Suitable for:

  • Urgent inventory
  • Medium-size shipments
  • Higher-value products
  • Time-sensitive commercial cargo

Air freight may be arranged airport-to-airport or as part of a door-to-door solution.


3. LCL Sea Freight

LCL means Less than Container Load.

It is useful when the shipment is too large for courier or air freight but not large enough to fill a complete container.

Typical cargo might be:

  • 2 CBM
  • 5 CBM
  • 10 CBM
  • 15 CBM

Multiple 1688 supplier orders can be consolidated before entering the LCL shipment.

Learn more about BRF Sea Freight.


4. FCL Container Shipping

Larger 1688 purchases may justify a dedicated container.

Common equipment includes:

  • 20GP
  • 40GP
  • 40HQ

FCL can be particularly suitable for:

  • Mobili
  • Building products
  • Macchinari
  • Large inventories
  • Bulky products
  • Commercial wholesale orders

5. DDP Door-to-Door Shipping

For many overseas buyers, the simplest solution is an eligible DDP door-to-door shipping service.

The logistics chain can include:

1688 Supplier → BRF Warehouse → Consolidation → China Export Customs → International Freight → Destination Import Coordination → Duty / Tax Structure → Final Delivery

DDP should never be treated as a universal service for every product.

Before confirming a DDP quote, BRF reviews factors such as:

  • Materia prima
  • Codice HS
  • Valore del carico
  • Paese di destinazione
  • Import restrictions
  • Applicable duties
  • VAT/GST
  • Antidumping duties
  • Importer requirements
  • Final postcode

See BRF Door-to-Door Shipping for more information.


1688 Shipping to the USA

The United States is one of the major destinations for products purchased from Chinese suppliers.

BRF can coordinate eligible 1688 shipments using:

  • Small parcel
  • Trasporto aereo
  • LCL
  • FCL
  • DDU
  • DDP
  • Port-to-door
  • Consegna in magazzino

Possible destinations include:

  • Los Angeles
  • New York
  • Dallas
  • Houston
  • Chicago
  • Miami
  • Seattle
  • Atlanta
  • Kansas City
  • Other commercial locations

For container and commercial freight planning, see Spedizioni dalla Cina agli Stati Uniti.

A typical 1688 USA workflow may be:

1688 Suppliers → Yiwu Warehouse → Consolidation → Ocean / Air Freight → U.S. Customs → Delivery to Customer Warehouse


1688 Shipping to Canada

Canadian buyers can also consolidate 1688 orders in China before shipping.

BRF supports transportation to Canadian markets including:

  • Vancouver
  • Toronto
  • Montréal
  • Calgary
  • Edmonton
  • Winnipeg
  • Ottawa
  • Other commercial destinations

Depending on cargo size, the route may use:

  • Trasporto aereo
  • LCL
  • FCL
  • Rail + truck
  • Consegna a domicilio
  • Eligible DDP service

See our Spedizioni dalla Cina al Canada guide.

For DDP planning, BRF reviews the commodity, customs classification, importer structure and final delivery requirements before confirming the service.


1688 Shipping to Europe

European buyers frequently source from several Chinese suppliers rather than one factory.

This makes warehouse consolidation particularly useful.

Products can be received at BRF’s China warehouse network and then shipped to countries such as:

  • Germany
  • Francia
  • Netherlands
  • Belgium
  • Italy
  • Spain
  • Poland
  • Hungary
  • Other European markets

Depending on cargo and route, transportation can include:

  • Trasporto marittimo
  • Trasporto aereo
  • Trasporto merci su rotaia
  • Road freight
  • Trasporto multimodale
  • DDP door delivery

BRF coordinates Europe DDP solutions including origin pickup, export handling, international freight, European import coordination and final delivery according to the agreed service structure.

See Spedizione DDP verso l'Europa.


1688 Shipping to Australia

Australian buyers can also send products purchased from multiple 1688 suppliers into one BRF warehouse before export.

Available shipping methods may include:

  • Trasporto aereo
  • LCL
  • 20GP
  • 40GP
  • 40HQ
  • Consegna a domicilio
  • Eligible DDU/DDP solutions

Major Australian destinations include:

  • Sydney
  • Melbourne
  • Brisbane
  • Perth / Fremantle
  • Adelaide

Australia also has strict customs and biosecurity requirements, so packaging materials and cargo details should be reviewed before shipment.

See our complete Spedizioni dalla Cina all'Australia guide.


Small Parcels and Large Equipment Can Use Different Shipping Routes

One major advantage of working with a freight forwarder instead of relying only on the 1688 seller is flexibility.

Consider two completely different buyers.

Buyer A

Purchases:

  • 50 phone charms
  • 20 bracelets
  • 30 small accessories

Total shipment:

15 kg

The buyer may need small-parcel international fulfillment.

Buyer B

Purchases:

  • Commercial equipment
  • Metal frames
  • Large furniture

Total shipment:

4,500 kg / 18 CBM

The buyer may need LCL, FCL or oversized-cargo transportation.

The suppliers may all sell through 1688.

But the international logistics requirements are completely different.

BRF selects the transport method according to the actual cargo rather than forcing every 1688 order into one shipping channel.


How Much Does It Cost to Ship Products from 1688?

There is no fixed “1688 international shipping price.”

Shipping cost depends on:

  • Prodotto
  • Number of suppliers
  • China supplier locations
  • Warehouse location
  • Package quantity
  • Actual weight
  • Volumetric weight
  • CBM totale
  • Valore del carico
  • Metodo di spedizione
  • Paese di destinazione
  • Destination postcode
  • Customs classification
  • Duty
  • VAT/GST
  • Special handling
  • Required delivery speed

For example, a 10 kg parcel and a 40HQ container obviously require completely different pricing structures.

To receive an accurate quotation, send BRF:

Nome del prodotto
Sede del fornitore
Number of Packages
Package Dimensions
Peso lordo
CBM totale
Cargo Value
Destination Country
Final Postcode
Required Delivery Time


What Products Need Special Attention?

Not every product can be shipped through the same freight channel.

Tell BRF before ordering if your cargo contains:

  • Batterie
  • Magnets
  • Liquids
  • Powders
  • Prodotti chimici
  • Food
  • Cosmetics
  • Prodotti medici
  • Branded products
  • Wood
  • Merci pericolose
  • Very long cargo
  • Very heavy cargo

Special commodities may require additional documentation, packaging or a different transportation method.


Do Not Ignore Product Compliance

A product being available on 1688 does not automatically mean it can legally be imported into every country.

The buyer should check the regulations of the destination market before ordering.

Tra gli esempi si possono citare:

Stati Uniti

Product safety, FDA/FCC or other agency requirements may apply depending on the commodity.

Canada

Import, product safety and labeling requirements vary by product.

European Union

Products may require CE or other compliance measures depending on the category. EORI, VAT and other import requirements may also apply.

Australia

Biosecurity, electrical, product-safety and other import rules can apply.

Always evaluate compliance before purchasing a large quantity.


A Better Way to Manage Multiple 1688 Suppliers

For professional importers, a useful model is to treat the BRF warehouse as a logistics control point.

Instead of asking every supplier:

Can you ship to my country?

you simply tell them:

Please send the goods to my China warehouse.

Then BRF coordinates the international part.

Esempio:

Supplier A – Zhejiang
↓
Supplier B – Jiangsu
↓
Supplier C – Guangdong
↓
Supplier D – Shandong
↓
BRF Qingdao / Shanghai / Yiwu / Shenzhen Warehouse
↓
Receiving & Consolidation
↓
Repacking / Labeling
↓
Dogana all'esportazione
↓
Sea / Air / Parcel
↓
USA / Canada / Europe / Australia
↓
Customs
↓
Consegna finale a domicilio

This creates a much more manageable international supply chain.
