International shipping is calculated separately after the goods arrive, are confirmed and packed at our warehouse.
We Purchase in RMB for You
After payment is confirmed, 1688DDP places the order with the supplier and pays in RMB on your behalf.
This means you do not need to arrange your own RMB payment method.
Our purchasing assistance may include:
- Order placement
- RMB payment
- Basic supplier communication
- Order follow-up
- Domestic shipment coordination
- Warehouse receiving coordination
Goods Arrive at Our China Warehouse
Suppliers send the purchased goods to our China warehouse.
Once the packages arrive, we can:
- Register the incoming packages
- Check the quantity
- Perform a basic visual inspection
- Check basic color, size or model information where practical
- Take photos
- Take videos
- Store the goods
- Assist with supplier returns or exchanges if required
30 Days Free Warehouse Storage
Your goods can remain at our warehouse for up to 30 days free of charge, allowing you to wait for other supplier orders before arranging international shipping.
Free Basic Inspection
We provide a basic inspection after your goods arrive.
The inspection may include:
- Quantity checking
- Visible condition checking
- Basic color verification
- Basic model verification
- Basic size verification where practical
- Packaging condition
- Photos and videos
Our basic inspection is intended to identify obvious problems.
It is not a laboratory test, authentication service, technical certification or comprehensive professional quality-control inspection.
5-Day Product Confirmation
For products purchased through 1688DDP, customers should review and confirm the received goods within:
5 Days After Warehouse Arrival
During this period, we can provide available inspection information, photos and videos for your review.
If you identify an obvious problem, contact us as soon as possible so we can assist with communication with the supplier.
Returns & Refunds
If an eligible supplier return or refund is successfully completed during the applicable confirmation period:
Product Purchase Amount: 100% Refunded
Purchasing Service Fee: Non-Refundable
The purchasing service fee is not refundable because the purchasing work, supplier communication and RMB payment service have already been completed.
Return and refund eligibility remains subject to the supplier’s applicable return, exchange and after-sales policies.
Domestic return shipping costs or other supplier-related charges may also apply depending on the situation.
Buying from Multiple Suppliers
You do not need to purchase everything from one seller.
1688DDP can receive packages from multiple suppliers at the same China warehouse.
For example:
Supplier A → Clothing
Supplier B → Shoes
Supplier C → Accessories
Supplier D → Packaging
All suitable goods can be received at our warehouse and later prepared for consolidated international shipping.
Consolidation & Repacking
Once all of your goods have arrived and been confirmed, we can combine suitable supplier packages into one international shipment.
When you use 1688DDP international shipping, standard consolidation and repacking are included.
Our warehouse can:
- Combine multiple supplier packages
- Remove unnecessary outer packaging
- Reduce unnecessary shipping volume where practical
- Repack goods
- Prepare cartons for international shipping
Special packaging such as wooden crates may require an additional fee.
International DDP Shipping
After the goods are confirmed and packed, we calculate the final shipment weight and dimensions.
We can then provide a DDP shipping quotation.
Depending on your cargo and destination, available options may include:
DDP Air Freight
Suitable for smaller, lighter or more urgent shipments.
DDP Sea Freight
Suitable for larger, heavier and bulk shipments.
DDP Road Freight
Available for supported overland routes and destinations.
