Every product has three prices.
Example: the same silicone spatula. Most first-time buyers compare a quote with the wrong row. We normalise every quote to FOB with the packaging specified before comparing.
On the shelf, cash, goods in a warehouse now, small quantities.
Produced for your order, 3,000 pcs, your packaging, export-ready.
MOQ, specification, packaging and export terms affect the quote. Compare the total on the same basis.
Hour by hour, with records you keep.
Two to three market days cover most multi-category briefs.
You send the brief; we plan the route and shortlist booths.
Priority corridors; every item photographed with booth, price, MOQ and material notes.
Review over lunch: what to sample, drop or renegotiate.
Second pass on the shortlist, sample and payment terms in writing.
Follow-up, sample collection, formal quotes and the consolidated order path.
Yiwu is perfect for some orders and wrong for others.
The clusters where the goods are made.
Market booths may be run by factories or trading companies. We check who makes your goods and, when a direct factory route fits your order, take the search to the right cluster.
Vacuum flasks, stainless drinkware and tools.
Stainless kitchenware: flatware, bowls, cookware.
Plastic household goods and the moulds behind them.
Yiwu, Alibaba or 1688?
In practice we mix all three: the market for the assortment, platforms for specific items, one inspected export at the end.
| Route | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Yiwu market | Touching real products, comparing versions fast, small MOQs, mixed assortments | Without notes and follow-up you leave with photos but no order path |
| Alibaba | Export-ready factories for custom or single-product orders | Listings are marketing; production reality still needs checking |
| 1688 | Domestic wholesale and price discovery | Chinese-language platform; export support is not built in |
Yiwu market questions.
Cannot find your answer? Message us on WhatsApp and we reply within one business day.
What MOQs are realistic in Yiwu?
Usually lower than factory MOQs, often by the carton or a few hundred pieces per item.
Can booths ship to my country directly?
Usually not. Booths sell domestically; export needs consolidation, documents and customs handling, which we do.
How far ahead should I plan a visit?
One to two weeks for route planning; earlier around Chinese New Year.
Can I get samples without visiting?
Yes. You approve items from the remote report and we collect and ship the samples together.
How do I know the 304 is really 304?
Yes, we can provide XRF testing where appropriate. The test method, scope and any charges are agreed before your visit. We also review supplier material documents and flag inconsistencies.
