Key Considerations for Wholesale Sourcing
- Check Supplier MOQ: Each factory establishes wholesale minimums (usually 2-3 units). Larger quantities unlock deeper price tiers.
- Factory Reliability: Prioritize verified "Bull Head" (实力工厂) suppliers with 3+ years tenure and reorder rates above 20%.
- Wooden Crate Protection: For fragile goods (ceramics, glass, monitors), always select wooden crating for in-transit protection.
Cost-Saving Tip: Consolidating items from a single manufacturer optimizes domestic Chinese shipping costs and unlocks extra wholesale discounts.
