An English agent for 1688 can help international buyers who struggle with the Chinese language, supplier communication and the purchasing process. Since 1688 is primarily designed for the Chinese market, having assistance can make buying from Chinese suppliers easier for Nigerian businesses and individuals.
What an English Agent for 1688 Can Do
An English-speaking agent may assist with:
- Communicating with 1688 suppliers in Chinese
- Confirming product specifications and quantities
- Clarifying prices and minimum order requirements
- Coordinating purchases with Chinese sellers
- Arranging delivery to a warehouse in China
- Receiving and consolidating multiple packages
- Coordinating shipping from China to Nigeria
This can be particularly useful when buying from several suppliers at once.
How the Process Works
You select your products and provide the relevant order details. The agent communicates with the suppliers, helps coordinate the purchase and arranges for the goods to be delivered to a designated warehouse in China.
Once the packages arrive, they can be checked, consolidated where appropriate and prepared for international freight. The shipment can then be sent to Nigeria by air or sea depending on the size, urgency and budget.
What Nigerian Buyers Should Confirm
Before using an English-speaking 1688 agent, confirm their service charges, payment arrangements, warehouse receiving process and international shipping options.
Also calculate the complete cost of your order, including the product price, Chinese domestic delivery, handling, international freight and final delivery in Nigeria.

Make Your 1688 Orders Easier
