1688order is a purchasing agent platform. All our data comes directly from 1688.com (officially authorized). So, if a product is available on 1688.com, it’s also available on 1688order.
Because 1688.com is mainly a Chinese wholesale site, overseas users usually can’t register, and even if they do, arranging international shipping is complicated and expensive. That’s where we come in.
How Does 1688order Work?
When you place an order on 1688order, we automatically purchase the item from 1688.com and have it shipped to our warehouse.
Once your order arrives, our warehouse team performs a simple quality check, measures the weight and dimensions, and uploads product photos to your account.
You can review the photos, and if you’re not satisfied, you can request a 7-day return or exchange—no questions asked.
After confirming everything looks good, you can choose to combine multiple orders for international shipping—which can save you a lot on shipping costs.
Many users who’ve bought from Alibaba or similar sites have faced a common problem: the return shipping often costs more than the item itself. With 1688order, you avoid that headache.
Shipping & Consolidation
After you confirm your orders, just provide your shipping address. We’ll give you a complete international shipping quote, including customs duties.
We offer several shipping options, such as air freight and sea freight.
The key feature here is our consolidated shipping service.
You can combine multiple packages into one shipment—this significantly reduces international shipping costs.
Dropshipping Service
We also offer two types of dropshipping services:
- For new sellers –
Let’s say you’re “Seller A,” a new Shopify store owner. You’re not sure what products will sell, and you don’t want to take the risk of buying stock upfront.
You can simply list the product pages you like. When a customer places an order, just manually order from us and provide the buyer’s address.
We’ll receive and ship the product directly to your customer.
However, keep in mind that packaging will vary because we ship it as received from the original 1688 supplier. - For growing sellers –
If your Shopify store already has consistent sales, you can start stocking your best-selling items in our China warehouse.
You can even customize your packaging—we’ll help you use branded materials that match your store’s style.
This is the most affordable option for small or mid-sized sellers.
If you want faster delivery, you can pre-ship your stock to our U.S. warehouse, so when customers order, we ship domestically from the U.S. (higher cost, but fastest delivery).
Why Choose 1688order?
- Huge product variety – We cover almost every product category (except food, liquids, flammable items, and items restricted by international shipping).
- Wholesale prices – You get the lowest prices online.
- Low minimums – Most items can be ordered starting from just one piece at wholesale price.
You’ll find tons of high-margin products. For example, a gaming chair that costs over $100 on Amazon or DHgate might be just $15 on our site—same product, way lower price.
You can even use image search to find the lowest-priced matching items instantly.
Who Is 1688order For?
Our platform is perfect for:
- Small shop owners (one or two stores)
- Street vendors
- Convenience store owners
- Repair shop owners
- Online sellers
- Small business owners who buy many different products in small quantities
In short, our ideal customers are those who buy a wide variety of products but not in large quantities.
Large retail chains usually have their own suppliers, but small businesses often can’t get good wholesale prices or low minimum order quantities elsewhere. That’s exactly the gap we fill.
In Vietnam, similar companies grew quickly through local outreach, targeting small business owners who realized they could get cheaper products by ordering directly through a service like ours—without dealing with middlemen.
