As the most popular instant messaging software in China, WeChat plays a very important role. Whether in personal life or business, WeChat is an indispensable tool that occupies most of the time of Chinese people.SSo, if you want to communicate with Chinese people in the most direct and fastest way, then WeChat is the software you must use. In addition, WeChat also has an automatic translation function, no matter you speak English, French, Japanese or other languages. Both can be used for automatic translation, which plays an important role in reducing language barriers. Compared with software like whatsAPP, this is a major shift in efficiency improvement.
In addition, people often ask us if we can introduce them to first-hand resources, such as factories or distributors, but in fact, many factories or distributors are not on Alibaba or other websites specifically for foreigners, such as Made in China.
So by using WeChat, we can easily connect factories or people with relative resources.
So no matter what, if you want to buy from China, one of the best software is WeChat, so before you buy from China, I suggest you download and use WeChat.
Alipay
The second software is Alipay, Alipay itself is not a payment software designed for foreigners, This software was initially designed as an online payment tool for Chinese people, but as China encourages foreigners to come to China for tourism and quickly access China’s digital payment, now Alipay supports Visa and MasterCard credit cards. Therefore, in practice, many people have not come to China, but have downloaded and used Alipay to pay for the goods or logistics fees of Chinese sellers.
Why do you do this? As I said before, many real factories or real distributors, They don’t do business directly with foreigners, their goods are supplied to merchants who sell on websites like Alibaba or Made-in-China, so they don’t have the ability to accept foreign exchange. If you have Alibaba, you also have the ability to pay directly to these Chinese factories or Chinese distributors.
Online Spreadsheet
Why is this online shared table important? This is for the purpose of management, because when you purchase from China, it is very likely that you are purchasing from many suppliers. How to manage these suppliers and manage these goods becomes very important. Of course, you can make such a table yourself, but more often it is done by logistics companies like us. Through such a shared table, we can help customers manage many suppliers, many products, and also manage many shipping locations.
1688
As China’s largest online distribution platform, 1688 can be understood as a Chinese version of Alibaba made for Chinese people. So if you have the ability to purchase from this platform, it is equivalent to bypassing China’s trading companies, and the prices on it are definitely very friendly. Of course, there will be a lot of relative uncertainty in procurement above: First: The communication above is not very friendly because the website is not designed for foreigners. Second: The above guarantee is not as good as Alibaba’s, in fact, many Chinese sellers have suffered a lot of losses on it. Third: You can definitely find many products that can’t be found on Alibaba.
Pinduoduo
Pinduoduo has now become a very leading e-commerce platform in China, but the most fundamental reason why Pinduoduo is popular is that the products on it are very cheap, but the products on it also have some disadvantages, such as the quality is not so good. The second, his service may not be very good either, because the price above is very low, so the service is relatively lagging behind. But if you are looking for low prices, this is a good platform. In addition, foreigners can use credit cards to make payments directly on the platform, which is also a very convenient platform. At present, few non-Chinese people know about this platform.
Taobao
Taobao, as one of the oldest e-commerce platforms in China, has a very rich variety of products on it, whether it is a big brand or a niche design brand, or very cheap products, can be found on it. And now he also supports people in some countries to use credit cards or Alipay to buy products directly.
A warehouse
Why is a warehouse address important? Because whether it is 1688 or Taobao, they need a Chinese address to complete the purchase, so you must obtain a Chinese warehouse address to place an order and complete the purchase. Of course, the role of the warehouse is much more than just letting you complete the order. If such a warehouse can provide you with the following services, then this shopping experience is suitable and perfect for you. Take our warehouse as an example, we can provide you with receiving orders and inspecting goods. We can take photos or videos for you to see what your products look like, and what their quantity and quality are like. After you finish shopping, we can help you pack all your packages into one large package to help you save on shipping costs. Of course, a company like ours will eventually help you send such a package from China to your address or any other address you provide. Whether it’s your customers or your friends and family.
Compararion with Alibaba
Compared with Alibaba. I only talked about the advantages and disadvantages of these things above, the advantage is that you will have better cost, that is, your purchase price will be lower, you will have more first-hand resources, this is the most fundamental place. Of course, compared with Alibaba, you will face language difficulties, and you will face the phenomenon that some people may cheat because there is no platform like Alibaba to protect them. Therefore, the core point of using this method is that you have people or companies in China that you can trust to handle this matter, because this company will become the last firewall before you purchase goods or complete the transaction.
