How do I buy from 1688 through an agent?
The short answer
Choose a listing and variant, check its minimum quantity, then open the product with your preferred agent. Purchase and domestic delivery happen before you prepare international shipping.
The most prominent listing price may apply to a particular variant or quantity. Before comparing suppliers, make sure you are comparing the same specification and order size.
Before confirming the purchase
- Keep the original listing link and identify the size, colour and quantity.
- Check whether the price is per piece or per pack and which quantity tiers apply.
- Review the agent’s amount, domestic delivery and any requested order details.
After delivery in China
Review the photos and intake information before preparing your parcel. If you are waiting for several orders, compare consolidation with storage constraints. Allow a budget for international shipping: paying for the item and domestic delivery does not establish the delivered cost.
Now, make it yours.
Start with the product type and quantity you need to find suitable listings.

Does the listed price include delivery to my home?
Do not assume so. Check item cost, Chinese domestic delivery and international shipping separately.
Can I mix sizes?
That depends on the supplier’s offer and how its minimum quantity is applied.
