Famous wholesale marketplace in China, Chinavasion has published a five-point guide for buyers to help them avoid being dodged by the suppliers on AliExpress, a new Alibaba.com wholesale website, launched in Aug 2009.
According to Chinavasion's PR Manager, Rose Li, AliExpress is aimed at smaller to medium sized sellers and adds a limited degree of security for people who source from Alibaba.
"The main Alibaba.com is essentially an advertising website: no deals are transacted. AliExpress is different. It's e-commerce with international shipping, and that's 100% new business territory for the Alibaba group."
The AliExpress wholesale website guaranteeing order fulfillment under an escrow arrangement. Alibaba is using Alipay as a the primary source of payment method. Alipay is already a widely used payment mehtod in China for transactions on its C2C website, Taboao.com
Chinavasion's Rose Li warned while the Alipay Escrow system might guarantee that resellers get something delivered they will still need to stay on their toes.
"Will buyers get what they want from AliExpress? Each supplier you find in AliExpress will have their own concepts of acceptable quality and speed. Since the goods are neither sold nor shipped by Alibaba themselves, the burden will still fall to the buyer to investigate and test each and every different supplier in the system before trusting them with orders."
In an effort to prevent resellers from being fleeced by sellers on AliExpress Chinavasion has put together the top five things to check for to prevent being taken for a ride by AliExpress suppliers, which can be read at tinyurl.com/AliExpress-Review for free.
As the first company to offer an online wholesale and dropshipping service online Rose Li said Chinavasion wanted to remind resellers what to look for when sourcing from China.
"We would like to offer our site Chinavasion.com as a price comparison for people shopping online through AliExpress. We are confident we offer a more user-friendly experience without the need to worry about quality, speed, or trust of unknown Chinese suppliers."
