Free Shipping Deals on Fashionable Jewelry Style Watches at Eforchina.com

Like most Chinese international online shops of electronics, Eforchina.com (see the detailed review of the site here) has a Watch & Jewelry category in which a wide range of stylish watches or jewelry are listed for sale at attractive prices. Recently they are promoting a selection of fashionable jewelry style watches by offering slashed-down prices plus free shipping.

The promotional prices for the stylish watches range from $4.97 to $12.96. There are over 110 styles to choose from, most of which are shaped in bangles, wristlets or bracelets. The analog quartz watches are plated by bronze or alloy and embellished by jewelry materials like Rhinestone or crystal. They look unique to me and I believe they are good stuff to go for vintage outfits. Of course, some fit modern or classic looks perfectly too. For instance, the following owl-shaped analog quartz watch decorated by rhinestones should look good with a little black dress:

Then, this elegant looking heart-shaped crystal bangle quartz watch can be a good match to enhance a modern look:

Such stylish vintage or modern jewelry watches can be found easily at other Chinese shopping sites too. The prices differ quite slightly as the margin room for them is rather limited. For buyers, you are encouraged to take advantage of special offers for better pricing. This collection of discounted watches offered by Eforchina.com is definitely worth checking out. Based on my comparing work, their prices for the promotional watches are close to being unbeatable.

As a young site, Eforchina.com launches lots of good deals to attract new customers. If you are looking for best-priced cell phones, tablet PCs, accessories for iPhone or iPad or other consumer electronics, they should be a good choice. You can compare their prices with those offered by similar sites before you made a shopping decision. As for quality, honestly, I personally believe that electronics offered by legitimate China-based shopping sites have little difference in terms of quality standards.

Another Good Way of Shopping Cheap Jewelry Efficiently from China: Finding A China-based Partner

In the previous post as a response to my reader, I introduced one efficient way to purchase cheap jewelry from reliable Chinese suppliers. That is, to shop with online China-based stores which allow you to order products in small quantities at low wholesale prices (read the full post here). Here I am going to talk about another good way to get made-in-China jewelry at minimum cost.

Whether you are running a big store or a small shop, you can choose to use one or more online Chinese shopping sites to stock up on products for your inventory. Once you have established stable cooperative relationships with such sites, everything will go easy and you don’t have to worry about your store’s stock anymore. Besides, by shopping with stores accepting small wholesale orders (as small as I piece per order), you can minimize your risk as you don’t need to hold too much stock or to invest too much money. However, despite that there might be more hassles, cooperating with a partner based in China can help you save even more in terms of cost.

This sounds a little bit like traditional trading, for which buyers may need to visit the destination country in person to negotiable about the details concerning the cooperation. However, it is actually not the same thing. It is always good if you can arrange a trip to China to talk face to face with the person you are interested in partnering with, but it is not always necessary to do so. Everything can be done through the internet, phone call or mailing.

The most key part is to find out a reliable partner who is honest, dependable, professional and competent. In particular, I personally would encourage you to use transaction platforms like Aliexpress.com to locate a good partner for your business. Here are the reasons and the specific ways for your reference:

Why?

It can help reduce your cost. Although most wholesale transaction sites including Aliexpress.com and DHgate.com do not charge any fees on buyers and they claim that they are free to use for sellers, they are not really free. Anyway, they need to make money to support the running of their services and to ensure their staff a good life.

Take Aliexpress.com for instance, it is true that they do not charge any fees on sellers upon membership registration. They earn money by adding a 5% commission to the product prices sellers submit to their site. That is, the prices shown on the site are “seller price + Aliexpress commission”. To balance between the cost and the profit, sellers have to submit a price that is profitable, of course. As a result, the prices listed on the site are not the bottom. And this is the very reason why I believe shopping online with the sites is not the only good way for your business.

Milanoo Handbags V.S. Lightinthebox Handbags

Milanoo.com is one of my favorite Chinese international shopping sites although it does have some negative reviews on the internet. I like it simply because I have been witnessing the progresses it is making all the way since it was founded and quite impressed by the great efforts they have been devoting to grab the market share.

At the beginning I thought it was a small site like many other ones I had known, which either disappear quickly or stay at the same place year after year. Obviously the site is far beyond my expectation. In recent years I see a robust and ambitious Milanoo keep improving their service and enlarging their product line. This is a very good quality for an online store like Milanoo.com (read the full review of the site here). For global buyers, at least they can be confident that this site is not a scam though they are not perfect.

Besides the complaints against Milanoo.om posted on social forums or third-party review websites, I am a little bit disappointed by the fact that the site does not publish any bad reviews on their own site. I believe they must have received some unfavorable reviews otherwise how could the people vent their anger elsewhere? So far I’ve known no Chinese sites doing well in this respect. What a big deal with accepting criticism anyway? If I were an online shopping site owner, I would let go all kinds of reviews of the products or service offered by my site – I believe it is a good way to filter the inventory in order to keep the best products that are really liked by customers. From my point of view, one reason for not publishing the negative reviews is that the sites are not confident in themselves. What do you think?

OK, now let’s come back to the topic: Milanoo handbags for women. I have introduced again and again here at my site that Milanoo.com started their business from selling cosplay costumes and special occasion dresses specially wedding apparel. In these years they are adding more and more categories to their product line, including women’s fashion and accessories, men’s apparel and accessories, kids’ clothing and accessories, beauty, jewelry & watches, home fashion and more. Actually women’s bags have been available on their site for quite a long time. I just didn’t notice that it had grown into such a broad category with so many styles to choose from. Lightinthebox.com (read the full review of the site here) had been the best Chinese site to shop for stylish bags for ladies in my personal list before. Now I should put Milanoo.com into the list as well seeing that the site carry such a huge selection of all kinds of bags fitting various occasions.

Comparatively, the total number of styles in women’s bags is no significant difference between Lightinthebox.com and Milanoo.com. However, a closer look reveals that the sites emphasize differently in the types of bags they carry. Above 90% of bags for sale at Lightinthebox.com is for special occasions. In particular, evening bags, party bags and wedding bags are their biggest subcategories. Milanoo.com seem to focus more on bags that go for daily outfits although they also have some amazing special occasion bags. Continue reading Milanoo Handbags V.S. Lightinthebox Handbags

Replying to Readers: Reliable Chinese Suppliers or Traders of Made-in-China Jewelry

Last week I was asked by a reader of my blog for my advice on reliable Chinese suppliers or traders of a number of categories, including jewelry, consumer electronics, kitchenware and more. As a response to his questions, I will start with this post to talk about the jewelry category first.

Before I explore the topic with details, I must confess that my viewpoints or advice is based on my own research and knowledge and as a result may be not accurate. What I introduce here is just for your reference only and you are always encouraged to do research yourself as much as possible in order to avoid scams.

The reader mentioned that he had visited China twice last year and attended some phases of the Hong Kong and Guangzhou fairs. He is looking for an efficient way to source products of his interest in wholesale quantities for his online retail and wholesale business. As far as I am concerned, now the most efficient approach to stock up on products from China is to shop online and order in small wholesale quantities. Whiling this can help you reduce your cost to the least, the disadvantage is that you may encounter much more risks than trading face-to-face with the suppliers. So it is really important to find out trusted traders with good reputation. It is time-consuming but definitely worth the efforts.

As for jewelry, it depends on what kind of jewelry you are interested in purchasing from China. For luxury jewelry or name brand jewelry, I don’t think it is a wise choice to shop online considering the high risks. Here I will focus on the other type of jewelry: cheap jewelry for accessorizing outfits, such as leather bracelets, silver rings or earrings, necklaces with alloy pendants, headpieces, wedding jewelry, etc.

Guangzhou (of Guangdong Province) and Yiwu (of Zhejiang Province) are the best cities in China to source wholesale jewelry at low prices – they both have many wholesale marketplaces of such jewelry located around the cities. In particular, I myself am more familiar about the Guangzhou market as I am now currently living in this city. One of my previous posts mentioned about the wholesale markets of fashion accessories such as jewelry in Guangzhou, you can click here to read the post.

However, it does not necessarily mean that the two cities are the largest manufacturing bases of jewelry. For instance, the jewelry for sale in the Guangzhou marketplaces is produced by factories in Shenzhen, Dongguan, Shantou and more other cities of Guangdong Province, especially those within the Pearl River Delta, one of the most famous economy zones in China. I am sharing this piece of information just to remind you that trading with sellers based in either of the cities may be more economical on cost. You know, the nearer to the wholesale marketplaces, the less the sellers cost on logistics and thus are able to offer the better prices to their customers.

I’ve dug out quite a number of online Chinese shopping websites which offer wholesale jewelry to global buyers (see the lists below). However, I am not confident in most of them in terms of company credibility and service standards. If you ask for my personal recommendations, I would go for the first four sites.
