China Wholesale Reviews

If you are looking for online stores that sell cheap made-in-China electronic gadgets, DinoDirect.com is no doubt one of the top options. But it is definitely not the only choice.

Headquartered in Shenzhen, China, DinoDirect has 10 branch offices and a good number of warehouses around the world. In addition to offering low priced products, the online shop also honors worldwide free shipping. Another huge product line at DinoDirect is a wide range of apparel, including wedding dresses & accessories, special occasion dresses, men’s clothing and women’s clothing. A variety of payment methods are available there. To better protect your interest, you are encouraged to use PayPal when placing orders with DinoDirect or any other international online stores. For more details, read DinoDirect Review.

Based on my research, almost all famous Chinese electronic gadget online shopping sites source their products from Shenzhen, the manufacturing hub of consumer electronics, computer and communications products. In particular, Huaqiangbei, the shopping centre of such products, is the major place where these websites hunt for long-term cooperative partners to get the lowest priced gadgets for their inventories. Besides, most of them offer free shipping to any corner of the world. Here I would like to list some of the best alternatives to Dinodirect where you can shop for equally good gadgets at competitive prices.

DealExtreme.com

When you find a cool gadget of desire at DinoDirect.com, I would highly recommend you to search for the same product at DealExtreme.com first and vice versa. Their prices are usually the lowest on the market. You can compare the price to make a better shopping decision. In my eyes, the two companies are same good in terms of product quality and credibility. DealExtreme provides free shipping and accepts PayPal too.

FocalPrice.com

FocalPrice is another legend in the Chinese arena of electronic gadget foreign trade. Its founder is a talented young man who had made huge success at eBay before he led a team to create the FocalPrice.com. The site has been making huge revenues since it was launched – it never receives any investment from a third party and develops its business completely by the money it has earned. In terms of category completeness, FocalPrice is no second to DinoDirect or DealExtreme or any other China electronic gadget stores. The prices it offers are highly competitive too. Free shipping is honored. PayPal accepted.

ChinaVasion.com

To be frank, I have never seen any pricing advantage at ChinaVasion.com. The Shenzhen-based store seems to specialize in more high-end electronic gadgets. The best-selling products at the store include car DVD players with GPS, tablet PCs, smartphones, cameras, camcorders and more. Accepts PayPal. Free shipping is not available.

Lightinthebox.com & MiniInTheBox.com

Unlike wedding dresses and other special occasion dresses, electronic gadgets are not the major category at Lightinthebox.com. However, the site has really amazing cell phones and tablet PCs made by Chinese manufacturers. For instance, HiPhone became world renowned right from Lightinthebox.com.

As a sister site of Lightinthebox.com, MiniInTheBox.com carries a huge variety of “small gadgets”, such as cell phone accessories, video game accessories, watches and cool toys. Prices are good. Free shipping is available on select items and discounted shipping is frequently offered. Accepts PayPal.

Lightinthebox is the most reputable Chinese B2C and B2B website on the global market. Its company size, credibility and product lines are unbeatable. The best thing to shop with the store is: you may save more hassles.

AliExpress.com

As for wholesale deals on electronic gadgets, AliExpress.com is worth checking out. The site is a transaction platform rather than a store like the above mentioned names. Chances are you may find thousands of direct suppliers or manufacturers of gadgets and get best prices on what you want. In addition, the number of gadgets available at AliExpress.com is second to none. However, you may need more time and energy to find out more reliable sellers there. Buyer protection service is provided by AliExpress.com. The company does not charge buyers for any fees. Instead, it charges sellers for a certain amount of commissions on successful order. Again, I would suggest you use PayPal to ensure online shopping safety.

In the Chinese foreign trade industry, DealExtreme is extensively known despite that the company always keeps a low-key profile. The reason is more than simple: DealExtreme.com has a great number of daily visits and the online shopping site makes huge revenues every year. Based on my knowledge, DealExtreme receives tens of thousands of orders every day. In the eyes of foreign traders in China, DealExtreme is just like a super legend. This DealExtreme review is going to introduce some basics about the electronic gadget store.

On the global market, Lightinthebox.com seems to be much more famous than DealExtreme.com. Actually the two online shopping sites are about the same in terms of website traffic and turnover. The biggest difference may lie in the traffic sources. While the majority of traffic to Lightinthebox.com comes from search engines, that to DealExtreme.com is from web forums and other internet communities or social networks.

DealExtreme is one of the first legitimate international B2C websites based in China. Its founder, Lingjian, Chen, comes from Hong Kong and graduated from a US university. Like many other B2C online store owners, Chen started his business from eBay and created the DealExtreme.com site after he had made great success at eBay. However, unlike those successful eBay sellers, Chen gained his success by providing international logistics service. He accumulated his first group of customers by leaving his own business information in the parcels he sent out for his clients. Besides, the talented man writes codes for the website and uses social forums as the major marketing approaches later on.

Having a huge warehouse based in Shenzhen, DealExtreme carries a wide range of electronic gadgets and accessories. The main areas the store covers include consumer electronics, electrics & tools, car accessories, cell phones, computers, laptops & tablets, video games, flashlights & lasers, accessories for iPhone, iPad & iPod and lots more. There you can find all kinds of cool gadgets or novelty gadgets that are fun to use.

99% of the prices DealExtreme offers are definitely the lowest on the market. If you do find a lower price on any other website, you can use DealExtreme’s “Price Match” function to have the price lowered on the product you want. It works every time, based on the customer reviews I found on the web. Free shipping is available on each and every product there – DealExtreme is the first China-based electronic gadget website that provides free shipping worldwide.

In Guangzhou, China, there are lots of online wholesale companies, of different sizes. Overall, the majority of such firms are small and medium-sized. Banggood.com is one of the small online shops, based on my personal rating. However, behind the website is a big team led by an ambitious man who has been achieving great success by selling a variety of products at eBay. As I know, the boss of Bandgood had been an airplane driver before he started his business at eBay.

Like many other successful eBay sellers, the founder of Banggood was no longer satisfied with the revenues and achievements he has got at the eBay platform and created an individual website to sell products. Although the website is still young, it is quite mature in product lines, technical support and customer service as the leader has abundant experience in foreign trade management – he had a professional team with sales people, marketing talents, service representatives and tech support guys to assist him in selling products at eBay.

The main areas Banggood.com covers are mostly categories that have helped the man gain huge profits at eBay, including consumer electronics and accessories, apparel and fashion accessories, flashlights & lasers and home & garden. In particular, cell phone accessories (e.g. earphones, cases, chargers, stylus pens, screen protectors, etc.) and LED lights are extremely hot-selling there. Toys, sporting goods, cosplay costumes and motor accessories are the minor areas that are slightly smaller in terms of product line.

The prices Banggood offers are extensively low and competitive as the site’s core target customers are businesses, retailers and resellers. Even for retail orders, wholesale prices are available. The difference is, when you purchase more in a single order, you will get an even lower unit price. You can visit the Banggood.com site to see the detailed pricing – I am sure you will be surprised.

Banggood also provides dropshipping service for its customers who run their own online business at eBay or at individual websites of their own. By dropshipping products from Banggood, these businesses (of whatever size) are able to reduce costs and risks of keeping an inventory.

Though based on my research, Banggood is a legitimate China-based online wholesale shopping site, to ensure that you get a secure shopping experience at Banggood.com, I would suggest you be cautious as much as you can. Choosing a safer payment method like PayPal should be one of the great options to protect your interests. Then, before you decide to build long-term cooperative relationship with the site, you can also place a small order to test the water first.

If you are interested in buying from FocalPrice.com with discount price, come back regularly to see if any FocalPrice coupon code is available!

When I researched the wholesale wedding apparel suppliers in China, I found SooBest.com. By the first glance, SooBest looks like a comprehensive online shopping website selling a variety of products, including clothing, cell phones, electronics, jewelry, watches, handbags, shoes, toys, computers and much more. A closer look to the website reveals that it is basically a wedding apparel online shop and wedding dresses are its major revenue earner. Read this SooBest review on to get more details.

Wedding Apparel & Wedding Accessories

The Wedding Apparel category at SooBest.com covers all kinds of wedding wear: wedding dresses, groom wear, mother-of-the-bride dresses, bridesmaid dresses, junior bridesmaid dresses and wedding accessories. It is, like some other famous Chinese wedding apparel online stores such as Lightinthebox.com and Milanoo.com, a one stop-shop for wholesale wedding supplies. You can find not only trendy but cheap wedding dresses there, but also a vast array of wedding accessories to compliment the wedding outfits, including wedding jewelry, wedding headpieces, wedding shoes, wedding petticoats and wedding corsage.

In early 2010, a friend mentioned to me FocalPrice.com and asked whether I know this electronic gadget online store or not. My answer was “No.”. To be honest, at that time my focus was all on giant e-commerce websites like Lightinthebox.com and AliExpress.com. The friend told me FocalPrice is widely known among stores around Huaqiangbei, the famous trading centre of consumer electronics, computing products and communications products (3C) in the Shenzhen city. Months ago, I started to extend my attention to smaller China-based international shopping sites and have posted reviews of some such sites. Below is what I’ve learnt about FocalPrice.com.

Created by Peiliang Li at his early 20’s in 2008, the customer base of FocalPrice grew quickly as the young man has already developed plenty of customers with his team at eBay. Many small and medium-sized Chinese foreign trade websites have similar stories. They are established because their founders are no longer satisfied with the success they have achieved at eBay as big sellers – they want their own websites to further expand their businesses. However, not all such sites turn out successful. FocalPrice is one of the few that survive well. It earns huge revenues every year and it never needs to attract any venture capital to keep itself go on.

FocalPrice specializes in the 3C product lines and offers a variety of electronic gadgets to global buyers. Popular items there include accessories for Apple devices (iPhone4, iPhone 4S, iPad, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, Mac, iPod Nano, iPod Touch, iPod classic), made-in-China cell phones, Chinese featured tablet PCs and laptops and accessories, car accessories and lots more. Both wholesale and retail orders are accepted and dropshipping service is available. When it comes to the China wholesale electronic market, FocalPrice is ranked the third in my personal list, following DinoDirect.com (see DinoDirect Review) and ChinaVasion.com (see ChinaVasion Review).

If the complete collection of electronic gadgets is one big reason for the great success FocalPrice.com has made, the competitive pricing should be another equally big reason. Generally, the prices FocalPrice offers are 10%-17% lower than market wholesale prices (and times lower than market retail prices). The fact that most of FocalPrice’s cooperative suppliers come from Huaqiangbei well explains why the site is able to offer such low factory prices. As I mentioned above, Huaqiangbei is the hub of electronic shops. Almost every shop there has one or more factories behind. By building long-term business relationships with such shops, FocalPrice can always get the bottom manufacturing prices in order to enhance its own competitive capacities. As I know, the supplier network of FocalPrice is extremely huge.
