About Milanoo.com

In the Chinese foreign trade arena, Milanoo.com is extensively recognized as one of the best online shopping websites for wedding dresses and other fashion products. This company was created in 2008 and has been growing very fast. This site is now very famous not only among their Chinese competitors but also among their customers around the world.

Although they claim their head offices are located in Hong Kong, I seriously doubt it as I fail to find any evidence that is able to prove this “fact”. Based on my findings, they did register their company in Hong Kong but did not set up any office there. Instead, they position the operating offices, the real headquarters, in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in the mainland China. Also, they have an overseas branch office located in the UK for administrative purposes only.

The most famous product lines of Milanoo.com include: wedding dresses, special occasion dresses and cosplay costumes. During their start-up period, the store offers free shipping on any order to any destination across the world. Since last year, this sitewide-free-shipping service was changed. Now if you want to be honored with free shipping on orders with the company, your order value must reach a certain threshold, usually $50, sometimes higher or lower.

Comprehensive Review of Milanoo Wedding Dresses

Wedding Dresses at Milanoo.com

  • Prices & Shipping

price tags for wedding dressesAs one of the bestsellers at Milanoo.com, the wedding dresses for sale there are best known for their unbeatable prices as well as great styles. I notice that recently the store has been adding more and more high-end wedding dresses priced at above $150. In the past, the site focused more on cheap wedding dresses at around $100 only and wedding gowns under $99 could be easily found there. Overall, prices are still their greatest appeal to customers. I’ve compared a few styles and found that their prices are 10%-20% lower than market prices. If you stay up-to-date with their latest deals, you may get an even better saving.

At the same time, the site offers 5%-15% off the retail price if you order more than one piece in a single order. For merchants who run a wedding gown store to make money, such attractive wholesale prices definitely ensure your high margins.

Plus, most wedding dresses there are offered with free shipping. Note that they ship your order for free by a standing shipping method which may take 7-9 days long for the order to arrive at your door from it is dispatched. If you want to get your order more quickly, you are encouraged to choose an expedited shipping method by paying a small shipping fee.

  • Styles & Customization Service

Currently the site carries more than 772 styles in wedding dresses, each of which has a number of colors to choose from. Most dresses there are neatly sorted by styling preference: A-line, ball gown, halter, trumpet or mermaid, sheath or column, empire waist, off-the-shoulder, sweetheart, strapless and v-neck. You can also find exclusive categories of mini wedding dresses, plus size wedding dresses, reception dresses, maternity wedding dresses, celebrity wedding dresses, luxury wedding dresses and wedding dresses under $100.

Like all other famous wedding dress suppliers, Milanoo offers customization service on the majority of wedding dresses for sale there. When you place an order, you should provide your specific measurements so that they can custom tailor your dress to perfect fit your sizes. Also, you may require them to make some minor changes to the style you choose. The whole processing time required for a wedding dress is about 28 days – if you want to order from them, you may have to order at least one month in advance to ensure that your dress arrives in time for your big day. I would also suggest you confirm again the time for tailoring and shipping with their sales representatives.

While visiting the Chinese manufacturing centers in person to purchase a wedding dress may cost extra expenses on the travel, making the purchase online from a tested and reputable store is definitely more economical. Security is always the top concern when it comes to shopping via the internet from a foreign country. Besides, given the fact that now there are countless online shops in China offer wedding dresses and accessories to consumers around the world, it may be quite tricky to find a reliable one where you can purchase a stylish wedding dress you love at a budget-friendly price. Below I would like to recommend some qualified online shops where you can get fashionable wedding dresses at low prices.

Lightinthebox.com: Being the No. 1 Chinese international online retailer of a variety of products, Lightinthebox is particularly well known for its medium- or high-end quality wedding dresses that come in fabulous styles. The company has a team of talented designers and skilled dressmakers to design and customize the wedding dresses. In addition, the site has a vast array of other wedding supplies to choose from, including wedding favors, headpieces, jewelry, handbags, shoes, wraps and more.

With years of experience in supplying wedding apparel and accessories, Lightinthebox is very mature in the product line in terms of production, packaging, shipping and customer service. In addition, there you can always find the latest trends in wedding apparel. For example, currently spring 2012 wedding dresses and fall 2012 wedding dresses are available on the site. The downside, however, is that the prices they offer are slightly higher compared with its competitors. Take a look >>

Dinodirect.com: Carrying about 10,000 wedding dresses featuring different styles, Dinodirect is another great online destination to buy awesome wedding dresses at a reasonable price. Whether you are looking for beach wedding dresses or church wedding dresses, there you have lots of styles to choose from and you will never get your wallet shamed – they are commonly affordable, valued $8-$250.

Aliexpress.com: Unlike Lightinthebox, Aliexpress is an online wholesale shopping website that provides transaction service for sellers and buyers. It is not simply a wedding supply shopping website; instead, the supplies sell everything on the site, e.g. consumer electronics, sporting goods, automotive supplies, lighting devices and lots more. In particular, there you can find thousands of small and medium-sized wedding apparel suppliers. All transactions made through the site are covered by the escrow buyer protections service offered by Aliexpress.com for free. Although it is a wholesale site, orders in small quantities (as small as one item only) are extensively accepted. Especially for products like wedding gowns and evening dresses, no matter how many pieces you want to buy, the sellers will do the business with you by offering the same low wholesale prices to you.

If you, like many brides-to-be, want to get a fabulous wedding dress that wont’ cost you an arm and a leg for you big day, I would suggest you shop directly with Chinese suppliers. Likewise, if you are a wedding apparel store owner looking for stable and reliable business partners who can supply you with high-margin wedding dresses, you must know where to shop for trendy but cheap wedding apparel. Being intended to introduce the largest manufacturing hubs of wedding apparel in China, this post may give you some inspiration.

Guangzhou Wedding Supply Street

Guangzhou Wedding Supply Street

The majority of wedding dresses, both for domestic trade and for foreign trade, come from Guangzhou and Suzhou, the largest manufacturing bases of wedding dresses and accessories.  For instance, the popular Chinese online supplier of wedding apparel Lightinthebox.com and Milanoo.com sources wedding dresses and accessories from some premium factories based in Suzhou or Guangzhou. Generally, the bigger online shopping websites cooperate with larger-sized factories for the production of wedding clothing while the smaller ones extensively with family-own workshops. That’s why wedding apparel offered by more famous sites are usually better in quality and thus more popular despite that they are a bit more expensive.

The two cities have their own pros and cons though. Comparatively, the wedding dresses produced in Guangzhou are generally superior to those in Suzhou in terms of fabrics and quality. At the same time, the prices are normally higher in Guangzhou than in Suzhou. However, craftsmanship standards of the two cities are quite the same or close.

B2C Webstie DealExtreme.com

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.

I noticed that now a selection of discounted simplicity dresses for autumn is available on Lightinthebox.com, the famous China-based online store for fashion, cell phones, car electronics and more. The simplicity dresses for autumn are priced at between $15 USD and $50 USD after discount. Plus, free shipping is available to any corner of the world on orders of $85 or more from October 16 to October 22.

discounted simplicity dresses

Dresses are always the best product line of Lightinthebox and the store offers promotions almost every day on various dresses – usually for a limited time only. This time the on-sale collection includes over 120 styles in casual simplicity dresses, work simplicity dresses and party simplicity dresses. There you can find some great celebrity styles which are highly affordable. All the dresses feature simple yet classic designs. Black and white are the major colors of the discounted simplicity dresses for autumn. If you love simple fashion, these dresses are worth taking a look.

In addition to the discounted simplicity dresses, Lightinthebox.com also offers up to 70% off on a variety of special occasion dresses, including wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, evening dresses and much more. All of the formal dresses and semi-formal dresses can be custom-made to specific measurements. Whether you are a merchant looking for cheap dresses that fit different occasions, or an individual consumer hunting for beautiful dresses on a small budget, you can’t afford to miss out the discounted dresses offered by the online shopping site. Based on my research, Lightinthebox is a legitimate company selling dresses, electronics, tattoos, faucets and more products to buyers around the world. If you are still not confident enough in buying stuff from the shop, you are encouraged to use safe payment method like PayPal.
