How the work gets done.
Plain guides to sourcing, shipping and stock, written by the team that does the work. What happens, what it costs and what to check.
- Stock and stores
Holding stock or shipping from the supplier
What changes when your products wait in a warehouse instead of leaving the supplier one order at a time, and when each way of working makes sense.
- Shipping
How international shipping is priced
What decides the price of a parcel from our warehouse to your customer, how long it takes, and who pays the import charges at the other end.
- Sourcing
How to buy from 1688 without speaking Chinese
Search 1688 in English, send any supplier link, get a price within 48 hours, and have every unit checked before it becomes your stock.
- Stock and stores
Selling the same stock on several stores
How one stock count can serve every store you sell on without selling a unit twice, and what Stock, Reserved and Available tell you.
