1688 alibaba

1688 alibaba is a Chinese wholesale marketplace owned by Alibaba Group, primarily serving as a platform for manufacturers and suppliers in China to offer products at bulk prices. 1688.com is often used by local Chinese buyers and businesses to source products, but international buyers can also take advantage of it. However, compared to Alibaba, which caters to global buyers, 1688 typically requires working with a local agent or sourcing company to navigate language barriers and ensure smooth transactions. It is an excellent platform for sourcing products at low prices but may require additional steps for international purchasing.
