Best Wholesaele Marketplaces of Fashion Accessories in Guangzhou: Taikang City Wholesale Plaza and Wanling Wholesale Center

As the biggest foreign trade base of China, Guangzhou has a huge number of wholesale marketplaces locating in every corner of the city. Most of the marketplaces focus on one or two macro-categories so that buyers or resellers can shop more conveniently. Every year, visitors from all around the world come to these wholesale shopping centers to hunt for products for their businesses and as a result, these places are always very crowded. That’s why Chinese buyers who go there for their domestic business or foreign trade business would rather choose a public traffic tool instead of driving there – it is not easy to find a parking space.

Yesterday we drove to a Guangzhou-based wholesale centre with several marketplaces that mainly offer fashion accessories like jewelry, scarves, glasses, headpieces or watches. Although we had known that finding a parking lot there could be a problem, we still chose to drive there, hoping that we can luckily find a place to park our car. When the GPS prompted that we are getting close to the destination Guangzhou Binbin Plaza, we noticed a one-way street where a non-standard parking service is provided. It charges 10 RMB per hour. So expensive! Anyway, it seems we have no other better choices so we decided to park there. To our surprise, a wholesale marketplace of fashion accessories is right there at the roadside, named “Taikang City Wholesale Plaza”. We had not known this marketplace before and our target place is another famous wholesale marketplace: Wanling International Wholesale Center.

Anyway, we took a quick tour in the Taikang City wholesale trading building and purchased some really nice fashion accessories including necklaces, bracelets and earrings. The merchants generally offer you wholesale prices as long as you purchase a dozen or twenty pieces per order. If you just shop one piece for your personal use, you have to pay a retail price which is much higher than the wholesale price. The products for sale there are very cheap in pricing, e.g. a vintage bracelet made in real leather is available at ￥5-10 RMB (about $1-2 USD) for wholesale orders.

Then we walked for three minutes to Wanling International Wholesale Center, which is nearing the popular shopping mall Haizhou Binbin Plaza. The major businesses the market runs are: toys, knickknacks, boutique, fashion accessories, home adornments, stationery and more. As the Christmas is right around the corner, we saw many Christmas supplies there, such as Christmas trees, Christmas toys, Christmas decorations, Santa Claus Figures, etc. Not surprisingly, we found that many foreigners were busy shopping there for various products.

Guide for Shoes Resellers: Pros and Cons of Shopping Shoes Online from China

Chinese online international shopping sites have been emerging quickly since 2006. Especially in recent years, more and more resellers around the world choose to stock up on products from China based online wholesale stores or marketplaces for their businesses.

Years ago, merchants have to visit Chinese marketplaces or trade shows in order to find out shoes with high re-sale margin. Besides, they have to order a significantly large number of shoes for a single order as required. Now the situation has been completely changed by the fast development of foreign trade e-commerce. Whether you own a big shoes shop or just a small or medium-sized one, you can purchase shoes from China on the Internet with less cost.

For Chinese suppliers of shoes, they are facing the same change. Rose, one of my good friends, had run a store in a “city of shoes” that targets global buyers in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province for years. Two years ago, she had to shut up the stores because it is too tough for her to continue running the business. Orders are getting less and less but she has to pay a rent of more than 20,000 RMB (about 3,000 USD) for the store every month. After she stopped her own shoes foreign trade business, she joint a company that sells shoes to international buyers online and earns big commissions from the transactions she handles. She told me that she would never consider opening a store on her own again as the pressure is too much but the payback is too little – actually she lost a significant amount of money when she was the boss of the physical shoes shop.

However, like the two sides of a coin, shopping for made-in-China shoes online is not all about advantages. To help you make a better choice about how you buy cheap shoes from Chinese suppliers, below I will list the pros and cons of ordering shoes online.

Pros

1. The cost is much less. You don’t need to pay for the journeys to China. Plus, online suppliers tend to offer lower prices for the same shoes as their cost of running their business is likewise not so high.

2. It is more likely to find out trendy styles that are hot-selling on the market. Generally, you can see the quantities of the shoes sold displayed on the product description pages so that you can measure the popularity of the styles.

3. You have more styles to choose from. While dozens or hundreds of shoes stores locating in a physical market offer only a limited number of styles and you have to scour the stores one by one to hunt for the best ones, the countless online Chinese shoes stores have numerous styles listed on the internet. Just by browsing the catalogs and products showcased on the sites, you will be able to see all details of the shoes, including images, prices, shipping fees, materials, MOQ (minimum order quantity) and all other related information you may want to know.

4. You can order shoes you want in a much more flexible way. In addition to specifying details of products, most shopping websites also offer real-time customer service so that you can contact them via live chat or phone call to confirm on any details or to negotiate for a better price. Unlike the traditional trading model, online suppliers do not necessarily require a large MOQ. In practice, many online stores only require a very small MOQ, as small as I piece per order only. Furthermore, they allow you to mix orders for a single order. This means you can order different shoes from different sellers in small quantities and free yourself from the pressure of keeping a large inventory.

Cons

1. It is sometimes not easy to confirm on the fitting of the shoes by looking at the product images only. The regular sizes are not a problem but the specific fitting may vary significantly or slightly from how they look. Similarly, it is hard to tell how they feel when wearing them.

2. Online transactions can be risky, especially when it comes to payment. For old-fashioned transactions, buyers usually make a 30% prepayment for the goods they order and pay the rest 70% after they are products and ready for shipment. However, most online transactions require a 100% payment before the products are processed and prepared for shipping. Some dishonest sellers or simply scammers may take your money away and never ship you anything. So it is extremely importantly to use a safer payment option when you trade with Chinese suppliers via the web. Paypal is highly recommended while credit card comes next.

Some world top brand transaction platforms like Aliexpress.com also provide payment protection service and they will receive the payment first and release it to the seller after the transaction is confirmed successful. Nevertheless, based on some real customer reviews, such platforms can side with the sellers when a dispute is incurred between sellers and buyers. When you buy something at a trading platform of this type, do remember to keep all evidence during the whole transaction process in case any dispute happens and to follow the site’s timelines for processing a dispute, e.g. to open a dispute before the deadline otherwise the payment may be released to the seller as time is due.

Here are some of the Chinese shopping sites where you can purchase low priced shoes in bulk or in small quantities:

Aliexpress.com: Men’s Shoes, Women’s Shoes and Kids’ Shoes or Babies’ Shoes
Lightinthebox.com: Shoes for Women, Dance Shoes and Wedding Shoes
Milaoo.com: Women’s Shoes and Men’s Shoes
Dinodirect.com: Women’s Shoes, Men’s Shoes and Children’s Shoes
Lightake.com: Women’s Sandals and Slippers (USB-charged)

Editor’s Pick: Color-block Style Shoes and Dresses for Women

Sorry for the late update as I was enjoying my trip…Now, I am back on track again!

I have two girl friends crazily obsessed with color-block style shoes and have many pairs of such shoes for all seasons in their closets. When I saw a few color-blocked shoes on-sale at Milanoo.com early this morning, I thought of the girls immediately. The shoes look fabulous and fit those who like bold colors. Besides, color-block fashion is definitely one of the hottest trends this summer. Then it occurred to me that it might be a good idea to pick some statement pairs in case some of my readers are interested in.

In order to find the best-valued color-block shoes as well as dresses, I scoured all online shops I am familiar with. Below you will find my picks from a few popular shopping websites, including Milanoo.com, Lightinthebox.com, Dinodirect.com and Aliexpress.com. The four stores seem to be never missed out when I talk about fashion products offered direct from China. If you want more detailed information about any of them, you can search related reviews at this site.

Aliexpress.com is one of the best wholesale transaction websites in the world. It provides escrow service to ensure that the transactions made between sellers and buyers are fair and safe. They charge no service fees on buyers. Then how do they make money? No secret: they have already added a certain percentage of commission to each price set by the sellers. However, the site is still the best place to find products that are for sale at the lowest prices possible.

I got over 160 results for color block shoes at the site, see all styles available here.

Best Markets to Find Wholesale Clothing Suppliers in China: Guangzhou

Being the biggest manufacturing hub, China exports large amounts of clothing and accessories to countries and regions around the whole world every year. Unbeatable pricing is the most important drive for the trend. Once you find some stable and reliable wholesale clothing supplier in China, you’ve finished the first and the key step heading towards success in your business.

I’ve introduced the top online China wholesale clothing suppliers in one of our previous post “China Wholesale Clothing Shopping Guide: Buy Best and Cheapest Clothing from China”. Large or small, most online wholesale shopping websites of apparel based in China source their products from big wholesale markets, mainly located in Guangdong Province and Zhejiang Province. Shops in these wholesale markets are run either by manufacturers or by exclusive distributors of certain brands, cutting all levels of middle men and thus offering the most competitive prices.

As the capital of Guangdong Province and the centre of the Pearl River Delta, Guangzhou has the greatest number of export-oriented wholesale clothing markets, most of which are positioned around the Guangzhou Railway Station. If you pay a visit to the Guangzhou Railway Station yourself, you may be awed by the hustle and the bustle of the area surrounding the station. Almost all Chinese suppliers of clothing know that that area is occupied by all kinds of wholesale markets, especially goods for export, including clothing & accessories, shoes, suitcases and bags and more.

Guangzhou Station West Clothing Wholesale City

In particular, the Canton Station West Clothing Wholesale City is best known for offering medium and high-end clothing for export at low prices. The City is composed by a number of foreign trade wholesale markets, specializing in selling casual and sports clothing for men and women’s clothing that follow closely the global fashion trends. Apparel accessories like hats, belts and socks are also extensively available there.

Trendy Ruffled Blouses for Women: They Are On Sale By Online Stores

Being suitable for both casual wear and office wear, ruffled blouses are almost indispensible for the wardrobes of ladies who are in to fashion. For this reason, ruffled blouses for women are widely sought-after. Recently I found a few deals on ruffled blouses from the special offers launched by some online China stores. Below I would like to share three styles in trendy blouses on sale at different online shopping websites.

I love the white front ruffled blouse, although the style is also available in purple and khaki on DinoDirect.com. The long-sleeve blouse is made of high quality imitated silk (Attention! Not real silk!). It looks fabulous when paired with a fashionable skirt or a pair of women’s trousers. For the time being, the promotional price for this blouse is $17.69 plus free shipping. If you want to purchase the item in bulk, you can click on the “Wholesale Inquiry” button on the product page to get a lower wholesale price.

Women’s Cardigan Sweaters on Sale

Now on the China wholesale market, women’s cardigan sweaters on sale are available everywhere. In particular, Milanoo.com has a great collection of women’s cardigans, all of which are offered at low wholesale prices plus deep discounts.

In addition to regular discounts, Milanoo offers extra discounts on some select women’s cardigans quite frequently. If you are looking for women’s cardigan sweaters on sale, you are encouraged to take a look at the discounted cardigans available on the shopping site, especially its Daily Madness zone and Spotlight zone.

The women’s cardigan sweaters on sale at Milanoo are priced at between $25 USD and $45 USD. As I mentioned earlier, if you pay attention regularly to the promotional zones at Mianoo, you may find even greater deals on women’s cardigans.

Currently there are over 70 styles in the on-sale women’s cardigan sweaters in the online shop Milanoo.com, including women’s cardigan sweaters with pockets. All of the cardigans are in trend this autumn, looking amazingly beautiful. Bold colors seem to be dominating the cardigans this season. Simply by looking at the bright colors of the cardigans on sale at Milanoo, I am completely obsessed and can’t wait to pick up some to refresh my wardrobe.

To look for some statement women’s cardigan sweaters that won’t embarrass your budget, I personally believe that the best choice is to shop from suppliers or wholesale shopping sites. Milanoo is such a place to purchase cheap women’s cardigans for fall. Being a popular fashion store, Milanoo carries a huge variety of fashionable dresses and other apparel and accessories, including wedding dresses, homecoming dresses, handbags, shoes and more. Among all, cosplay costumes are one of the largest – and also the best product lines there.

Of course, Milanoo is not the only ideal site to shop for women’s cardigan sweaters on sale in the China wholesale arena. Lightinthebox.com and AliExpress.com are also worth considering. Lightinthebox is a similar store where you can find quality fashion products at discounted prices, while AliExpress is a wholesale transaction platform where you can find lots of Chinese suppliers and buy what you want through the platform. Both of the online shopping sites have a vast array of women’s cardigan sweaters on sale to choose from.
