How 1688 sourcing works

Source. Consolidate. Freight.

Three steps: send your supplier links, we source and buy in RMB, we consolidate and freight it.

  1. 01

    Send us your 1688 supplier links

    Share the 1688 product or supplier links and the quantities you want. 1688 is a Chinese-language B2B marketplace with minimum order quantities, so we confirm the spec, MOQ and price with you and quote in taka.

  2. 02

    We source and buy in RMB for you

    1688 sells to mainland businesses and takes domestic Chinese payment only. We place the orders, message suppliers in Mandarin where needed, pay in RMB, and have every supplier ship to our China warehouse.

  3. 03

    We consolidate and freight to Bangladesh

    We receive goods from each supplier, combine them into one optimised shipment, then move it by air or sea freight with documentation prepared and Bangladesh customs cleared — fully tracked to your door or business.

Why source 1688 with WOOW

Wholesale sourcing built for importers

Built for Bangladeshi resellers and importers buying factory-direct from China’s domestic wholesale market.

Factory-direct wholesale sourcing

1688 is Alibaba’s domestic Chinese wholesale platform — the same factories that supply other marketplaces, often at lower per-unit prices for bulk buyers.

We handle MOQs and B2B terms

1688 listings carry minimum order quantities and tiered pricing aimed at businesses. We confirm the MOQ, negotiate where possible and place the order on your behalf.

Chinese-only checkout, handled

1688 runs in Mandarin and only accepts domestic Chinese payment. We act as your buying agent, paying suppliers in RMB while you pay WOOW in taka.

Consolidate multiple suppliers

Importers rarely buy from one factory. We receive parcels from several 1688 suppliers at our China warehouse and combine them into a single shipment to cut freight cost.

Air or sea freight for bulk loads

Heavy or high-volume orders move by economical sea freight (FCL/LCL) or faster air freight via our Cargo service, sized to your load.

Customs clearance to Bangladesh

We prepare the import documentation and handle Bangladesh Customs clearance so your wholesale shipment keeps moving to your door or warehouse.

FAQ

Your 1688 sourcing questions, answered

Answers to common questions about importing wholesale from 1688 and paying in taka.

How do I buy from 1688 in Bangladesh?

Send us your 1688 product or supplier links and the quantities you need. 1688 is a Chinese-only B2B marketplace, so we confirm the spec, MOQ and price, quote in taka, then buy in RMB and freight the goods to Bangladesh through our China warehouse.

What is the difference between 1688 and AliExpress or Taobao?

1688 is Alibaba’s domestic Chinese wholesale (B2B) marketplace, with factory-direct pricing and minimum order quantities aimed at resellers and importers. Taobao is consumer retail and AliExpress is the export-facing retail site; 1688 usually has the lowest per-unit price for bulk.

Does 1688 ship to Bangladesh?

No. 1688 suppliers ship within mainland China and accept domestic Chinese payment only. WOOW receives your goods at our China warehouse, consolidates multiple suppliers and freights the shipment to Bangladesh for you.

Can WOOW handle 1688 minimum order quantities (MOQs)?

1688 listings typically set a minimum order quantity and tiered wholesale pricing. We confirm the MOQ with you before buying and place the order at the quantity you approve; where a supplier allows it we can ask about smaller or sample orders.

Can I pay for 1688 in Bangladeshi taka?

Yes. You pay WOOW in taka through local methods; we pay each 1688 supplier in RMB on your behalf. You never need a Chinese bank account, Alipay or an international card.

How does freight from 1688 to Bangladesh work?

Wholesale orders are usually too large for parcel post, so they move as cargo. We consolidate your suppliers and ship by air or sea freight (FCL/LCL) through our Cargo service, sized to your load and quoted to weight and volume.

Can I consolidate orders from several 1688 suppliers?

Yes. Consolidation is central to importing from 1688. We receive goods from each supplier at our China warehouse and combine them into a single optimised shipment, which lowers your international freight cost.

How long does a 1688 shipment to Bangladesh take?

Express delivery is typically 10-15 business days once goods reach our China warehouse, by air freight. Sea freight for bulk cargo is more economical but takes longer; we advise the best mode for your load.

Will I pay customs duty on my 1688 import in Bangladesh?

Customs duty and VAT are set by Bangladesh Customs based on the item type, quantity and declared value, and are separate from WOOW’s freight fee. We prepare the documentation and clear your shipment; any government duty payable is shown before delivery.

I am buying in bulk for resale — is 1688 sourcing right for me?

Yes. 1688 is built for resellers and importers buying at wholesale. For commercial volumes, pair this with our Cargo service and our China to Bangladesh shipping options for air and sea freight.
