How to Order Home Goods from China

We have prepared an article that explains how and where it is best to buy home goods. Entrepreneurs are always looking for suppliers, and, undoubtedly, the best value for money can be found in China. But how do you get reliability guarantees? Is shipping expensive? And where to find the most profitable wholesale prices — we cover the entire process from A to Z.

Turnkey Delivery Process for Home Goods

Home goods is a broad niche that includes kitchenware, textiles, decor, interior items, small appliances and electronics, bathroom and toilet accessories. We have already shared the TOP-5 products that will attract consumers. Now we will explain how turnkey delivery works:

1. Choosing a wholesaler/manufacturer. A decisive step that determines product quality. It is important to find a supplier for long-term cooperation. We recommend checking the business license and paying special attention to ratings, reviews, and return rates. During negotiations, characteristics, batch volume, deadlines, Incoterms delivery conditions, and contracts are agreed upon.
2. Placing an order and payment. Usually, the payment is split: 30% to start production, 70% after the deal is completed.
3. Quality control (optional). Use the DiFFreight service: at our Foshan warehouse, we check product specifications and prepare a photo and video report. Inspection is strongly recommended if you are working with a new supplier or ordering a large batch.
4. Order formation — full container load (FCL) or less than container load (LCL). Delivery from China to Ukraine turnkey is done by sea, as it is the most budget-friendly — from $235/m³. The Chinese wholesaler does not prepare the cargo for international shipping, so we add packaging and apply the necessary labeling.
5. Import customs clearance. Turnkey service includes connecting with a customs broker. They not only prepare documents for customs clearance but also handle certification.
6. Delivery to the warehouse or customer address. We deliver home accessories from China to the DiFFreight warehouse for self-pickup or directly to your address.

Turnkey transportation is not only convenient and reliable but also saves business resources. We, as the executor, take full responsibility for cargo delivery up to the point of customer acceptance. Our logistics routes and processes are perfectly optimized, ensuring fair prices without overpayments.

Online Store for Home Goods from China: Where to Find the Best Deals

We recommend starting your supplier search in China on marketplaces. These are large platforms with thousands of sellers, including small and large wholesalers and factories. Let’s categorize them by level:

• Easy — Alibaba. A Chinese export platform with sellers from all over the world. Advantages for beginners include an English interface. Pricing is wholesale: the more you order, the cheaper it is. International shipping is available.
• Medium — Taobao. Huge product assortment, 90% of sellers are Chinese. Taobao features new products, unique brand designs, handmade items, and family businesses. A disadvantage — no global shipping, a warehouse in China, or a middleman is required.
• Hard — 1688. The largest Chinese B2B marketplace. Most purchases are wholesale, and all sellers are Chinese. Negotiations are more complex, and the interface is in Chinese. Prices on 1688 are the lowest, making it profitable, but shipping is only possible through a middleman.

Clearly compare prices on marketplace platforms. We chose a 36 cm stainless steel paella pan.

• On Alibaba $21.14 for purchases up to 499 pcs. The lowest price is $18.05 for orders over 5000 pcs.
• On Taobao, the pan costs $21.77 per piece.
• In 1688, the item cost $6-8 per piece, and orders started from 1 pc.

Choose only the most profitable offers: DiFFreight handles product purchases in China on any platform. We will find reliable suppliers, process payment, and quickly deliver to Ukraine.
