Category: Home & Garden Reviews

When I was questioned if I am familiar with any reliable Chinese sites that are famous for their home and garden supplies, I suddenly realized that I had not paid much attention to this field then. Although I created this blog with a mission to introduce the best China-based international shopping sites, I am just talking about too much about fashion and accessories and electronics, which are in practice the biggest product lines in the Chinese foreign trade arena.

Thanks for the reader who asked me the question. This reminds me that I really should broaden the topics which are closely related Chinese wholesale and retail business here. This post will focus on sharing my findings about Chinese online stores where you can find made-in-China home and garden supplies, including furniture, oil paintings, bedding, faucets and much more.

After spending days doing the research, I was a little shocked that I could not find any big name in the Chinese international home and garden supply foreign trade arena. Yes, I meant the type of shopping websites which are specialized in offering home and garden products or are particularly famous for the product line. Anyway, I did find some popular sites where you can buy some sorts of home and garden supplies, usually with quite limited subcategories in terms of quantity and variety.

It is interesting to note that while there are rare home and garden professional shopping websites based in China, almost every legitimate Chinese site with an impressive customer base has a Home and Garden category. It can be a comprehensive site like Dinodirect.com or Aliexpress.com, an electronics store like Focalprice.com or Ahappydeal.com, a fashion shop like Lightinthebox.com or Milanoo.com or any other type of cross-border e-commerce sites. In particular, some of them are quite famous for a certain product. For instance, Lightinthebox.com have been well known for their quality faucets, especially LED faucets for kitchen and washroom and for their modern lighting products, especially chandeliers and pendant lights. Also,
Milanoo.com are often mentioned about their fashionable bedding supplies, pet supplies and curtains.

Below list the home and garden subcategories carried by some popular Chinese global shopping websites. If you are interested in, you can click the links which will direct you straight to their Home and Garden pages.

If you are looking for best deals on made-in-China LED lights or LED bulbs, the best way is to shop with Chinese suppliers directly. That way you are able to cut middle-men as many as you can. You know, the LED lighting products available at the local marketplaces or shops are mostly sourced from China.

As international online shopping has become super easy and convenient, many merchants or resellers choose to stock up on LED lights or bulbs or any other related products from online stores based in China. High resell margins are definitely one of the best appeals to them. In recent years, more and more end consumers realize that they can, like the resellers, buy the products directly from Chinese stores online at the best prices possible.

According to my knowledge, the majority of online LED lighting suppliers offer same low wholesale prices for individual buyers who purchase in small quantities only. This is the dominating trend thanks to the fierce competition among the wealth of sellers.

Below I am about to list some of the best online destinations based in China to purchase low priced LED lights or LED bulbs. They are tested legitimate businesses and you can use them to compare prices in order to get the best deals. While some stores may offer the same or similar LED products, some others may have what other stores don’t have. This means given the various choices you are very likely to find out the type or the style of LED lights or bulbs of your desire.

Aliexpress.com

The comprehensive wholesale trading site has thousands of verified suppliers and carries more than 420,000 LED lighting products to choose from. Seriously, almost all LED lighting related products made in China can be found on the site. The only downside to shopping with Aliexpress.com is that you should be cautious when selecting reliable suppliers as you may encounter scams. Although all transactions are made under their escrow payment protection service and you are able to get your refund if you follow their guidelines properly (read: never bypass Aliexpress to solve any dispute directly with the seller), the long procedure of handling a dispute may make you lose your patience. Their LED lighting categories include:

• LED lamps
• LED bulbs & tubes
• LED strips
• LED spotlights
• LED holiday lighting
• LED indoor lighting
• LED outdoor lighting
• LED portable lighting
• LED professional lighting
• LED business lights
• LED lighting accessories
• LED showroom lighting

Dinodirect.com

This online supermarket is best known for selling top branded made-in-China products at reasonable prices. The range of LED lighting they carry is not so vast in terms of categories or quantity (about 2,000 items). The best thing of using Dinodirect.com is, as they offer authentic Chinese branded products, you don’t have to worry about wasting your money on fakes. The quality is also well guaranteed as a result. Besides, their pricing is very competitive. Being a big name at the Chinese international trading arena, the company is generally wowed for providing satisfactory customer service. Their major LED lighting categories include:

Lightinthebox.com

While Lightinthebox.com is extensively recognized as a famous online fashion distributor, their Home and Garden category is also worth taking a good look. LED lights, like other home and garden products at the site, do not stand out by varieties. What really makes them popular is the fine selection. I personally believe this is the very essence of goods offered by Lightinthebox. They select the finest products for each category – all are intended to help customers live a fashionable life. If you want to get trendy lifestyle products, this store is definitely a good choice. See their LED Lights here >>

In addition to these big players of online global shopping business, I also know some great professional electronic stores based in China where you can find LED lights or LED bulbs. Here are some of the best based on my own criteria:

• Priceangels.com: See their LED Lights here >>
• Chinavasion.com: See their LED Lights here >>
• FocalPrice.com: See their LED Lights here >>
• eForChina.com: See their LED Lights here >>

Finally, I would like to remind you that, the stores listed above offer exclusive promotions on LED lights from time to time. If you are allowed to wait that long, you are encouraged to stay up to date with their latest promotion information – the item you are interested in may be slashed down to half price only or even lower! Anyway, it all depends on luck.

Last week I saw a lovely milk night light shared by one of my friends in Facebook. I was deeply impressed with the creative design of the night: it is like the milk being poured from the cup. At the first glance, it is hard to discover that it is actually a table night lamp – I thought it was something for decorating the desk.

Coincidentally, today when I opened the Aliexpress.com homepage, I was instantly attracted by the coffee night lamp advertised in the Product Showcase section, where all kinds of novelty items are displayed by category (reviewed: Aliexpress novelty items). It occurred to me that this adorable product could be a hot-seller and for this reason I decided to share it on my site. Below I will introduce the detailed information about the coffee night lights for tables or desks available on the website.

The coffee night light looks like somebody is pouring coffee from the cup to the small pot. Made of plastic, it is powered by battery or USB cable. Each package contains one LED lamp and three creative cups. You can change the cup to fit the style of your desk or based on your own preference or mood. Also, you can draw something on one blank cup whose surface has no pictures for your IDY need.

The same or similar coffee-and-cup-themed lights are offered by over 100 different suppliers. Aliexpress.com is not a seller like Lightinthebox.com or Focalprice.com but a wholesale trading platform where sellers and buyers trade with each other under their supervision and protection. As a result, the prices are different too, ranging $4.8 to $26. Generally, each seller offers lower wholesale prices if you order in bulk (more than 3 pieces). Note that the quality levels can be significantly different depending on the prices. Plus, some of the coffee light sellers offer free shipping to any destination around the world.

All suppliers have been verified by Aliexpress staff in terms of company qualification. However, they vary in customer service standards, product quality, pricing and degrees of reliability. To find out trusted sellers for your business or for your personal needs, you are encouraged to consider those who have higher feedback scores, more positive customer reviews and more successful transaction records. All these details can be found on the product pages. At the same time, you can search Google for real customer reviews by the company name or the seller name.
