BUYING GUIDE
How to buy on 1688 and receive your order in Switzerland
The price shown on a 1688 listing is a starting point. For a useful enquiry, you need the precise variant, the actual sales unit and the quantity you want.
Check the listing's variant and unit
Check whether the price is for one piece, a set or a carton. Look for tiered prices, minimum quantities and any accessories shown separately. Save the link and a screenshot of the selected variant so you can refer to the same item later.
Decide what to check before shipping
Decide whether you want photos, a quantity check or inspection of a particular feature before international shipping. Discuss when additional costs will be confirmed and what should happen if your chosen variant is unavailable.
