1688 Buying Agent China | Transparent Sourcing & Purchasing Service

Our 1688 Buying Agent China service is a transparent sourcing and purchasing solution that helps international buyers navigate the 1688 platform, verify suppliers, inspect products, handle payments, and manage logistics - all with no hidden fees and full transparency.

We charge a transparent service fee of 3-8% of the total order value (minimum $50 per order) with no hidden costs. This includes supplier verification, product inspection, order coordination, and basic logistics advice. Additional fees apply for special services like quality control audits.

Product sourcing and verification takes 2-5 business days, production/order fulfillment on 1688 takes 3-15 days depending on the product, and international shipping takes 7-30 days (air) or 25-45 days (sea). We provide real-time tracking for full transparency.

Yes, quality inspection is a core part of our transparent sourcing service. We conduct pre-shipment inspections at the factory or our warehouse, provide detailed reports with photos/videos, and only release payment to 1688 suppliers after successful inspection.

Absolutely. Our 1688 buying agent team can help you communicate with suppliers for custom product development, sample confirmation, MOQ negotiation, and production monitoring - all with transparent pricing and progress updates.
