    Thank you for this video. I'm just about to start an importation business and I'm a Nigerian and everybody here preaches 1688 and this video just made me so confused.
    I know people who are doing well with 1688 so ama follow them and keep these tips in mind and when I'm more familiar with the business I'll decide what to do.
    Thanks again.

    @phildeng4901 Рік тому +5

    Yes, Kian is telling the truth to everybody. There will be many factories in 1688. But it's quite not very friendly to foreigners, because not all factories can do export, and receive money from foreign countries is still a problem. If you can find any supplier has export license, then find suppliers in 1688 will be a good choice. Depends on your luck. Many factories are only focusing on production, maybe exporting is not their advantage. That's why there are many middleman in China, good service and professional export knowledge will let you more convenient. However a suitable and stable supplier will be the best choice.

    7:52 and no...
    No value so far. Everything said so has been negative and scary.
    The world can be negative and scary I am sure but I would like to hear how to benefit from something instead of how to be scared.
    One other thing... Alibaba Trade Assurance is only WORDS...
    I personally tried to use it before after my order was paid for and was not shipped for months....
    The representative was asking me to prove something instead of asking the factory and shipping company to prove something...
    I only got my money back because I disputed the transaction through my credit card company.

Great point as well, in my experience Alibaba vendors will accept a variety of QTY's - some quite low and some quite high depending on the size of the factory and number of workers. But you're right 1688 will most likely accept smaller order so I should have mentioned that, thanks for letting me know and hope you enjoy the other videos on the channel 🙏

      @@policedeescalationtaskforc1184 I've never actually worked with a sourcing agent as I do all my own sourcing haha. If you want to work with me 1on1 you can book a coaching call and I can guide you through the process, but if you want to outsource it I'd watch my sourcing agent playlist videos to make sure you align with the right agent: ua-cam.com/play/PLAVj5pdoryFbvIeJkixKnRH0Zr623ILGh.html - best thing you can do is get yourself in a group of other sellers and ask around who is working with a sourcing agent that they recommend. Let us know how you get on

      Hey Zhesi thanks for your comment, I'm pretty sure it's all in Chinese but you can get the English option when you translate the page. Did you translate it or it is actually appearing in English? Also even after translating, the graphics on the page which explain the features are in Chinese as well so it's quite challenging 😅

    • @SourcingWithKian
      @SourcingWithKian  4 роки тому +2

      Hey Ogheneochuko thanks for your question! Personally I wouldn't recommend it as your payment won't be protected! So you have to have full trust in order to make a payment to them and you can do bank transfer, credit card or paypal if they accept it, you can also write to them and ask what forms of payment they accept. Were you not able to find the same products on alibaba? Kind regards

      if only satisfying China market then there's no need for factory to have an export license, but if you need the goods exported it will need some sort of export license which they can get from a local trading company. Or you can ask them and I'm sure they will have someone for that
