China Sourcing & Dropshipping FAQ
Answers to 20 practical questions about sourcing, quantities, inspection, custom packaging and shipping. Product-specific terms require a written quote.
Can you source from 1688?
Yes. Send a link, photo or description for supplier and product review.
Can I send only a product photo?
Yes. Include dimensions, material, variants and quantity if known; a photo alone may not establish an exact match.
What product categories can I ask about?
You can enquire about different categories, including the small goods shown on our homepage. Acceptance depends on product, safety, shipping and supplier suitability.
Do you offer one-piece dropshipping?
It can be considered when the product and destination allow it. Confirm the order process and availability before launch.
Is there a minimum order?
Minimum quantities are confirmed per product and supplier. No universal minimum is published.
What are your service fees?
Request an itemised quote for your product and service scope; a fixed public fee schedule is not available.
Which countries do you target?
We welcome enquiries from European, North American and Middle Eastern markets. Confirm the exact country and route before ordering.
How long does shipping take?
Timing varies by route, destination and product. Ask for handling and transit estimates separately.
Are duties included?
Ask for the delivery terms and duty or tax assumptions in writing. Do not assume that a shipping quote includes all import charges.
Can you inspect before shipping?
Yes, checks can be arranged. Agree on the checklist and inspection scope before ordering.
Is inspection the same as certification?
No. Visual or agreed product checks do not replace required laboratory testing or safety certification.
Can I approve a sample?
Ask about sample availability, cost and delivery before placing a larger order.
Can you do custom packaging?
We accept packaging enquiries. Send a reference, dimensions, artwork needs and quantity for feasibility review.
Does packaging affect shipping price?
It can. Ask for packaged weight and dimensions and a revised shipping estimate.
Can you ship fragile glass or ceramics?
These are not a default fit for the current service. Enquire first; unsuitable or high-risk products may be declined.
Can you source branded replicas?
We do not source products carrying someone else’s logo without appropriate rights. Confirm product and artwork permissions.
Do you integrate with Shopify?
Confirm the available order handoff method directly. Do not assume a particular app or automatic integration is available.
Can you combine items from suppliers?
Ask with your product list. Feasibility, handling requirements and costs need confirmation.
What happens if an item is damaged?
Agree on evidence, claim deadlines and the remedy process before shipment. A universal refund policy is not published here.
What should I send for a quote?
Send the product link or photo, variants, quantity, destination country and postal code, packaging requirements and target schedule.
Include product details and destination so we can confirm feasibility and quote the actual scope.
