China Warehouse Service

One China Warehouse for All Your 1688 Suppliers

Buying from multiple suppliers on 1688 can quickly become difficult to manage.

Different suppliers may ship on different days, use different domestic couriers and pack products in separate cartons.

Instead of asking every supplier to ship internationally, you can send all your orders to 1688Warehouse first.

Our China warehouse can receive goods from multiple suppliers, organize your parcels, check products, provide photos and videos, store your goods while waiting for other orders, consolidate multiple shipments and prepare everything for international delivery.

Multiple suppliers. One China warehouse. One easier purchasing process.

What Is Our China Warehouse Service?

Our China warehouse service is designed for overseas buyers purchasing products from 1688 and other Chinese suppliers.

Your suppliers can send their goods domestically to our warehouse, where we can manage the China-side process before international shipment.

Our services may include:

You can use the warehouse service whether you purchase the products yourself or use our 1688 purchasing service.

Why Use a China Warehouse When Buying From 1688?

1688 is primarily designed for the Chinese domestic market.

Suppliers often expect to ship goods to a Chinese address rather than directly to international buyers.

Using our warehouse gives overseas buyers one location in China where goods from different suppliers can come together before leaving the country.

This can help you:

How the China Warehouse Process Works

Step 1 — Contact Us for Your Warehouse Receiving Details

Before asking your supplier to ship, contact our team.

We will provide the current warehouse receiving information, which may include:

Please do not use old warehouse details without confirming them first.

Correct customer identification helps us assign incoming parcels to the right customer quickly.

Step 2 — Your Suppliers Ship Domestically

Your suppliers send their products to our warehouse using Chinese domestic courier services.

You can send goods from:

They do not need to ship at the same time.

Step 3 — We Track Incoming Supplier Shipments

Where shipment information is available, we can help monitor the domestic journey from supplier to warehouse.

Typical statuses may include:

Preparing → Dispatched → In Transit → Delivered → Warehouse Received

This makes it easier to see which suppliers have already shipped and which orders are still outstanding.

Step 4 — Warehouse Receiving

Once the courier delivers a parcel, our team can receive and identify it.

Where applicable, we may record:

Warehouse receipt confirms that the parcel has physically arrived.

It does not automatically mean that every product inside has already been inspected.

Step 5 — Quantity Check & Basic Inspection

Where included or requested, we can open the supplier parcel and perform a basic warehouse inspection.

This may include:

Step 6 — Customer Confirmation

You can review the available photos, videos and warehouse information before international shipping.

If everything looks acceptable, the goods can continue to storage, consolidation and shipping.

If an obvious problem is identified, we can help with the next step.

Step 7 — Problem Resolution

Where applicable, we may assist with:

Final approval depends on the supplier, platform rules and circumstances of the order.

Step 8 — Wait for Other Supplier Orders

If you bought from multiple suppliers, the products may arrive on different days.

Goods that arrive earlier can remain at our warehouse while you wait for the rest.

Eligible goods receive:

Up to 30 Days Free Storage

Step 9 — Consolidation & Repacking

Once your orders are ready, we can combine products from multiple suppliers.

Where appropriate, we can also remove unnecessary:

The goods can then be repacked more efficiently.

Step 10 — International Shipping

Once the goods are ready, we can confirm the final shipment information and arrange international transportation.

For supported destinations and cargo types, we may provide:

DDP International Shipping

Receive Parcels From Multiple 1688 Suppliers

This is one of the main reasons overseas buyers use our warehouse.

For example, you may purchase from:

Supplier A

Clothing

Supplier B

Shoes

Supplier C

Packaging

Supplier D

Accessories

Each supplier sends the goods separately to our warehouse.

Instead of arranging four international shipments, the products can first come together in China.

When all required orders are ready, they can be processed as one consolidated shipment where practical.

Supplier Shipment Tracking

Managing several Chinese domestic tracking numbers can be difficult for overseas buyers.

Where sufficient information is available, we can help identify:

It is important to distinguish between:

Courier Delivered

and

Warehouse Received

A courier may mark a parcel as delivered before the warehouse receiving team has fully identified and assigned the parcel to the relevant customer.

Parcel Identification

Customers should use the warehouse receiving information and customer identification details provided by our team.

Parcels arriving without correct identification may take longer to process.

Examples include parcels:

Where significant additional manual investigation is required, additional handling charges may apply and will be communicated separately where applicable.

Quantity Checking

Where requested, we can count the products received.

This can help identify obvious discrepancies such as:

Ordered: 100 units

Received: 94 units

or situations where cartons, sets or accessories appear to be missing.

The exact checking method depends on the product, packaging and inspection requirements.

Basic Product Inspection

Our standard warehouse inspection is a basic visual and quantity check.

It may help identify obvious problems such as:

It is not equivalent to professional laboratory testing or advanced third-party quality-control inspection.

Photos & Videos Before Shipping

We can provide photos or videos according to your inspection requirements.

These can help you review:

This gives overseas buyers more visibility before the goods leave China.

Need More Detailed Inspection?

Some products may require more than a basic warehouse check.

Depending on the product, additional services may include:

Availability and any applicable charges will be confirmed separately.

Returns, Exchanges & Refund Assistance

If an obvious issue is found while the goods are still at our China warehouse, we can assist with supplier communication.

Depending on the circumstances, this may involve:

Return / Exchange / Replacement / Refund Request

Handling problems before international shipping can be much more practical than trying to return goods to China after overseas delivery.

1688Warehouse provides assistance with the process but does not guarantee supplier approval.

30 Days Free Warehouse Storage

Eligible goods can remain at our warehouse for:

Up to 30 Days Free

This is especially useful when several suppliers have different dispatch times.

For example:

Day 3 — Supplier A arrives
Day 7 — Supplier B arrives
Day 12 — Supplier C arrives
Day 19 — Supplier D arrives

You can wait until the required supplier orders are ready before requesting final consolidation.

Storage After 30 Days

Goods stored beyond the free 30-day period may be subject to additional storage charges.

The applicable cost depends on factors such as:

Extended-storage charges are confirmed separately.

There is currently no fixed standard maximum storage period, but continued storage remains subject to warehouse capacity, product safety, customer communication and payment of applicable charges.

Consolidation Service

After your products have arrived and been confirmed, we can consolidate multiple supplier parcels.

For example:

Before Consolidation

Supplier A → 3 cartons
Supplier B → 2 cartons
Supplier C → 4 cartons

Total: 9 cartons

Where practical, we can reorganize the shipment into fewer cartons.

The exact result depends on the size, shape, weight and protection requirements of the products.

Remove Unnecessary Outer Packaging

1688 suppliers often pack goods for Chinese domestic courier delivery.

This can leave the shipment with unnecessary:

Where appropriate, these materials can be removed before international shipment.

Repacking to Reduce Weight & Volume

After unnecessary packaging is removed, we can repack the shipment more efficiently.

The goal is to balance:

Product Protection

with

Efficient Packaging

and

Lower Unnecessary Shipping Volume

This may help reduce actual weight or volumetric weight.

However, we do not guarantee a specific freight saving because the final result depends on the goods and shipping route.

Keep Original Packaging When Needed

If you need us to keep:

please tell us before repacking.

If no special instruction is provided, ordinary unnecessary transport packaging may be removed where reasonably appropriate.

Final Weight & Dimensions

After consolidation and repacking, we can determine the final shipment information.

This may include:

This final information normally provides a better basis for an international shipping quotation.

DDP International Shipping

Once the goods are ready, we can also arrange international transportation for supported routes.

DDP availability depends on:

International shipping is quoted separately.

Warehouse Acceptance Does Not Guarantee International Shipping

A product being accepted at our China warehouse does not automatically mean that every international shipping method is available.

Some products require additional review, including:

Please confirm restricted or unusual products with us before purchasing or sending them to the warehouse.

Independently Purchased Orders Are Welcome

You do not have to use our purchasing service to use the warehouse.

If you already have your own 1688 account, you can purchase products yourself and ask suppliers to ship to us.

Please contact us first for the correct warehouse receiving information.
