Your China Warehouse for 1688 Orders
Buying from multiple suppliers in China can quickly become complicated.
Different suppliers ship at different times. Parcels arrive in separate cartons. Product problems may only become visible after delivery. International shipping costs can also increase when every supplier uses unnecessary outer packaging.
1688Warehouse gives overseas buyers one place in China to receive, check, store, consolidate and prepare their goods before international shipping.
Whether you purchase products yourself or use our 1688 purchasing service, your suppliers can send their parcels to our China warehouse and we can manage the next steps for you.
One warehouse. Multiple suppliers. Less hassle.
A China Warehouse Built for Overseas 1688 Buyers
Our warehouse service is designed specifically for customers who purchase products from 1688 and other suppliers in China.
Instead of asking every supplier to ship internationally, you can have the goods delivered domestically to one warehouse first.
This gives you an opportunity to:
- Wait for products from multiple suppliers
- Check quantities
- Inspect products for obvious problems
- Receive photos or videos
- Handle problems while goods are still in China
- Remove unnecessary packaging
- Consolidate multiple parcels
- Repack goods more efficiently
- Prepare everything for international shipping
This makes the purchasing process easier to manage and can also help reduce unnecessary international freight costs.
Receive Parcels from Multiple Suppliers
One of the biggest advantages of our warehouse service is the ability to receive orders from different suppliers under one customer account.
For example, you may purchase from:
Supplier A – clothing
Supplier B – packaging
Supplier C – accessories
Supplier D – electronics
The suppliers do not need to ship at the same time.
They can send their parcels separately to our China warehouse using domestic Chinese courier services.
As each parcel arrives, we can receive and organize it while waiting for your remaining orders.
Once everything is ready, the goods can be handled together.
Contact Us Before Sending Goods
Please contact our team before asking your supplier to send goods to the warehouse.
We will provide the correct warehouse receiving information, which may include:
- Warehouse address
- Recipient information
- Customer identification details
- Parcel reference
- Receiving instructions
Using the correct customer reference helps us identify your parcels quickly when they arrive.
Do not use an old warehouse address or receiving reference without confirming it with us first.
Warehouse Receiving & Parcel Identification
When your supplier’s parcel arrives, our team can record and identify the shipment.
Depending on the order, we may record information such as:
- Supplier
- Domestic tracking number
- Arrival date
- Number of parcels
- Customer reference
- Basic outer-package condition
The parcel is then organized together with your other orders.
Receiving a parcel does not automatically mean that all goods inside have already been inspected.
Inspection is completed separately according to the service requested.
Domestic Shipment Tracking
If you use our purchasing assistance service, we can also help monitor supplier shipments before they arrive at the warehouse.
This helps you understand:
- Which suppliers have shipped
- Which orders are still waiting for dispatch
- Which parcels are in transit
- Which parcels have already arrived
Instead of managing several Chinese domestic tracking numbers yourself, you can manage the process through one service team.
Quantity Checking
Once goods arrive at our warehouse, we can help check quantities where applicable.
This can help identify obvious problems such as:
- Missing units
- Incorrect carton quantities
- Incomplete orders
- Supplier packing mistakes
Checking quantities before international shipping can make it easier to resolve problems while the goods are still in China.
Basic Product Inspection
We can perform a basic visual inspection before the goods are shipped internationally.
Depending on the product and agreed service, this may include:
- Checking visible appearance
- Checking for obvious damage
- Checking basic color
- Checking basic model information
- Comparing obvious product differences
- Checking packaging condition
- Taking photos
- Taking videos
Our standard warehouse inspection is a basic visual and quantity check.
It is not a professional laboratory, engineering, certification or technical quality-control inspection.
If you require specialized testing, please contact us before ordering so the requirements can be discussed separately.
Product Photos & Videos
Want to see the goods before they leave China?
We can provide photos or videos of products received at our warehouse.
These can help you review:
- Product appearance
- Quantity
- Color
- Packaging
- Visible condition
- Labels
- Consolidation results
- Repacking results
This gives overseas buyers greater visibility before committing to international shipping.
Check Before You Ship
One of the most important benefits of using a China warehouse is the ability to identify obvious problems before the goods leave China.
If a product is incorrect, damaged or missing, it is usually easier to communicate with the supplier while the goods are still in China than after they have already arrived overseas.
Our goal is simple:
Check first. Ship second.
Returns, Exchanges & Refund Assistance
If we identify an obvious problem, we can help communicate with the supplier.
Depending on the situation, we may assist with:
- Return requests
- Exchange requests
- Replacement requests
- Refund requests
- Providing photos or videos as supporting evidence
Final approval for a return, exchange or refund depends on the supplier, applicable platform rules, timing and the circumstances of the order.
We provide assistance with the process but cannot guarantee a particular supplier outcome.
30 Days of Free Warehouse Storage
We provide:
Up to 30 Days Free Storage
This is especially useful when buying from several suppliers.
Different suppliers often have different production and dispatch times.
For example:
Day 2 – Supplier A arrives
Day 5 – Supplier B arrives
Day 9 – Supplier C arrives
Day 14 – Supplier D arrives
Instead of shipping each order separately, you can wait for the remaining parcels and handle everything together.
Goods stored beyond the free 30-day period may be subject to storage charges.
Any applicable extended-storage fee will be communicated separately.
No Fixed Standard Maximum Storage Period
We do not currently apply a fixed standard maximum storage period.
Longer-term storage may be possible depending on:
- Available warehouse space
- Product type
- Product safety
- Storage duration
- Customer communication
- Applicable storage charges
If you expect to store goods for longer than 30 days, please contact us in advance.
Consolidation of Multiple Orders
Once your orders have arrived and been confirmed, we can consolidate goods from multiple suppliers.
For example:
Before consolidation
Supplier A → 3 cartons
Supplier B → 2 cartons
Supplier C → 4 cartons
Total:
9 separate cartons
Where practical, we can combine the goods into fewer cartons.
This can make the final international shipment easier to manage and may reduce unnecessary shipping volume.
Remove Unnecessary Outer Packaging
Chinese suppliers often use packaging designed for domestic courier delivery rather than international transportation.
Goods may arrive with:
- Courier bags
- Extra outer cartons
- Excess filling materials
- Multiple packaging layers
- Oversized boxes
Where appropriate, we can remove unnecessary external packaging before international shipment.
This can help reduce:
Actual Weight
and
Volumetric Weight
which may help reduce international shipping costs.
Repacking for International Shipping
After removing unnecessary packaging, we can reorganize and repack the goods.
Our goal is to balance:
- Product protection
- Efficient carton use
- Lower shipment volume
- Lower unnecessary weight
- International shipping requirements
Special packaging requirements can also be discussed.
If you need us to retain original retail boxes, branded packaging, gift boxes or supplier cartons, please tell us before repacking begins.
Keep Original Packaging When Needed
Not every customer wants packaging removed.
For certain products, original packaging may be important for:
- Retail resale
- Brand presentation
- Product protection
- Customer experience
- Collectible value
If original packaging must be retained, tell our team in advance.
Otherwise, ordinary transportation packaging may be removed where reasonably necessary as part of the consolidation and repacking service.
Special Handling
Some products may require additional warehouse handling.
Examples include:
- Fragile goods
- High-value products
- Heavy goods
- Oversized products
- Irregularly shaped cargo
- Products requiring additional protection
- Sensitive goods
Please inform us in advance if your products require special handling.
Additional service or packaging charges may apply and will be communicated separately where applicable.
High-Value Goods
If you plan to send unusually high-value products to our warehouse, please tell us before shipment.
Depending on the goods, we may recommend:
- Additional inspection
- Additional packaging
- Separate handling
- Special storage arrangements
- Cargo insurance
Insurance is not automatically included unless specifically agreed.
Restricted Products
Some products require confirmation before they can be accepted or shipped.
Examples may include:
- Lithium batteries
- Products containing batteries
- Liquids
- Powders
- Cosmetics
- Chemicals
- Food
- Medical products
- Strong magnetic products
- High-value goods
- Oversized cargo
A product that can be purchased on 1688 is not automatically suitable for warehouse handling or international transportation.
Please contact us before purchasing or sending any restricted or unusual goods.
Warehouse Acceptance Does Not Guarantee International Shipping
Receiving goods into our China warehouse does not automatically guarantee that they can be shipped using every international route.
Shipping eligibility depends on factors such as:
- Product category
- Destination country
- Battery content
- Chemical composition
- Carrier rules
- Customs regulations
- Available shipping routes
If your preferred shipping method is not available, we may help check other possible options.
Prepare Your Goods for International Shipping
After your products have been:
- Received
- Identified
- Checked
- Confirmed
- Consolidated
- Repacked
we can prepare the final shipment information.
This may include:
- Number of cartons
- Final actual weight
- Carton dimensions
- Chargeable weight
- Product information
- Destination information
The final international shipping quotation can then be based on the completed packing details.
DDP International Shipping
Once your goods are ready, 1688Warehouse can also help arrange international transportation.
For eligible destinations and cargo types, we may provide:
DDP International Shipping
This allows customers to continue from:
1688 Purchasing
to
China Warehouse
to
Inspection & Consolidation
to
International Delivery
through one service team.
DDP availability depends on the product, destination and current shipping route.
