How shopping from China works with purchasing agents
On Chinese marketplaces such as Taobao, 1688, JD.com, Weidian, and many others, you can find countless products at low prices. However, as a foreigner, you usually cannot order directly from these platforms, as they do not support international payment methods or shipping options. This is where purchasing agents come in!
What do purchasing agents do?
Purchasing agents are specialized companies in China that act as intermediaries between international buyers and Chinese online marketplaces. Their services include:
✅ Product purchase: They order the desired product on your behalf.
✅ Storage & inspection: Upon receiving the product, they inspect it for quality, take photos, and store it temporarily.
✅ Consolidation: If you order multiple items, they can combine them to save on shipping costs.
✅ Packing & shipping: They securely package the goods and ship them internationally to you.
✅ Returns & complaints: If the product does not meet expectations, they handle returns or complaints.
✅ Customs clearance: Agents take care of customs processing and help you avoid extra fees or issues with customs.
✅ Insurance & buyer protection: Many agents offer insurance. If your package gets lost, seized by customs, or the product arrives damaged, you can request a refund or a replacement shipment.
