Are you currently importing goods from Yiwu Market in China? Today, We are going to introduce how to buy from the Yiwu market step by step. Let’s start.

Many importers, even those new to the business, have heard of the twice-yearly Canton Fair in Guangzhou. But less well known is Yiwu, a city home to the largest wholesale market in the world.

5. Pros and Cons of Buying from Yiwu Market

5.1 Pros of Yiwu Market

Largest wholesale market

“Yiwu market is the world largest wholesale market of general merchandise.” —by United Nations, The World Bank, and Morgan Stanley. People are comparing Yiwu market and Shenzhen market. Can’t say which one is more popular. But here, in Yiwu market, you can find millions of products all under one roof.

Open all-day

As mentioned earlier, Yiwu opens up at 9 am and is open until 5 in the evening. This means millions of products are exhibited throughout the whole day. So, even if you are a little late and go after midday, you will still be able to find a plethora of options

Quality products

You must know that not all of the products being sold at Yiwu Market have been manufactured in Yiwu.  A large population comes to Yiwu for buying products which is why people from many other places also come to Yiwu for selling their products. Regardless of where they have been manufactured, still you can find good quality products in Yiwu Market. Some products are even handmade!

Option to customize products

If you come across a sample you like, you can ask the supplier to customize it for you if you intend to buy the final product in a large quantity.

Large quantities in reasonable prices

At Yiwu, buying the goods in a large quantity is quite easy, and you won’t even have to pay much. You can buy them at reasonably low prices.

Variety of suppliers

Since the Yiwu market has 75,000 booths, there are bound to be numerous suppliers. Thus, in the Yiwu market, you can enjoy zero distance contact with numerous suppliers.

Quick delivery

Once you have finalized the product and have it packaged, you get it quickly shipped to your country. There are many shipment options, and these are discussed below.

Different products in one container

It is not necessary that you purchase a container full of only one kind of product. You can get a container of mixed products too. Similarly, there is no fixed amount for buying a certain product. You can have a container with a smaller amount too.

5.2 Cons of Yiwu Market

There are middlemen, distributors, and factories

Yiwu has different booths, and many of them are owned by individuals while some are factory owned. So, when if you want to buy in a bulk amount, some booths will claim to be factory outlets and they will try selling products at inflated prices only because you are a foreigner. Similarly, you will also have to deal with middlemen and distributors, so you have to be very careful. It is true that differentiating between factories and individuals is difficult, but you just need to be perceptive and ask different booths instead of jumping at the very first offer.

Too many suppliers or products may arouse confusion

Since there are numerous products or suppliers in this large market, you can get confused when it comes to choosing the right supplier or product. It is difficult to determine which supplier is trustworthy and which isn’t.

Quality is of different level

Not every product in one container will have the same quality. Even in one container, there will be slight differences in their qualities, especially when you are buying hundreds of items from multiple suppliers.

Suppliers speak no good English

As mentioned earlier, most suppliers only understand very basic English, so communication can be a problem especially if you have been unable to hire a translator.

Payment, consolidation, inspection, and shipping is an issue for foreign suppliers

Since foreign buyers can not stay long time in Yiwu and they will have to also take care of payment, shipping, inspection, and consolidation, buying from Yiwu can be a hassle for them.

When you arrive in Yiwu, you will come across many agents. However, only some large companies have around 200-500 people. In fact, you might even spot thousands of agents with only 5-10 people.

It is crucial to find a good agency from among the hundreds and build a trustworthy relationship with them as long-term cooperation is crucial. If you choose a bad agency for your business, then it can cause irreversible damage to your business.

For this reason, you must find an agency that protects your interests too. Following is a guide about how to find a good Yiwu buying agent.

6.1 Introduction of Yiwu Market Agent

6.2 Services of a Yiwu Market Agent

A Yiwu market agent provides the following services:

• Issue invitation letter, advise hotel and transportation
• Yiwu Market guide with translation services, take pictures and notes.
• Place orders, contract with suppliers, spread payments to multiple suppliers.
• Control delivery time, consolidate goods and check quality.
• Organize invoice and packing list, arrange shipping to destination.

6.4 How to Choose a Yiwu Market Agent?

You can find a good Yiwu agent, even before you reach the city. Simply search for the term “Yiwu market agent” on Google, and you will see some reputable Yiwu agents in the search results. But not all the results of the agents are worth to deal with. If you are already in Yiwu, then you will spot numerous advertisements for market agents in various places like the train station, airport, and hotel entrance. You can pick one of those too.

The right market agent will help the buyer to make a good business decision from the start to the end of their time at the Yiwu market. Thus, a trustworthy and experienced agent is essential. The following tips can help hire the right agent:

Go through the website

You’ll find that every agent has a website. Some might have more than one. Going through the website can help understand the agents behind the website. A website is also a good way to get information on that agent before contacting them. When going through the website, there are some things you should take care of.

As mentioned earlier, many agents claim to have around 1% commission along with free services and cars. In most cases, this is just a scam, and you don’t need to waste time on them. Even small but successful agents charge 3% at least, but they still have their terms and conditions.

You also need to check the kind of content on the website. If the agent respects the visitors, he or she must have useful information present on the website. If the website only contains a copy of other people’s work with only minor changes, then you can get an idea of how the person behind the website is.

See the way they are responding

You can also figure out if the agent is right for you by looking at how he or she responds. Check to see if they are doing what they claim to. See if they can communicate professionally and informatively through emails. Similarly, also check if they are honest about what they can do. For instance, if their website says one thing and they say something else in their emails, then you know they are not right.

Talk to the references mentioned on the site

Some agents post references on their website publicly. This way, you can see what others are saying about them, but you also need to check if all the reviews are genuine and real. One way to do this is to ask the agent for the contact information of the customers that wrote the review. Then, contact them and find out if it is real or not.

Don’t only choose one agent

It is best to select at least 3 potential agents. Meet all three and have a conversation with them. The best you can do is take a walk with them in the market for a day. After spending a day with them in the market, you can know if what they mentioned in their emails and on their website is true or not. Similarly, you can also know which one seems to put in the most effort and which one cares for your business the most.

Have a look at the license

You should not only know the agent’s English name, but you must also know the Chinese one. You’ll find millions of similar English names, but these are not real and in case of fraud or theft, not knowing the real name can be a problem. Have a look at their company ID, tax registration, and a business license and get copies made to ensure that they are registered legally in Yiwu, Zhejiang, or China.

Experience in quality check

While many agents claim to source a variety of different products, the real question is if they can do a good job. For instance, an agent exporting plastic containers might not know much about quality check when it comes to jewelry. Similarly, an agent that mainly handles the shipping to the US might not be too familiar with the custom requirements of other places like Fiji or Croatia.

It would be better to hire an agent that has specialized in the products you are looking for or is at least familiar with the products. Such people also handle quality control in a much better manner.

Moreover, with more experience in a particular kind of product, agents become well-familiar with suppliers and know the suppliers that can successfully deliver on their promise on time.

Sufficient facilities

A Yiwu agent must primarily have two facilities; a warehouse and an office. The office should be close to the market as an agent needs to go the market almost daily. Thus, an office nearby can cut transportation cost and time. Similarly, the warehouse should be spacious. Sometimes, the products need to be checked or repacked thoroughly, and that is impossible with insufficient space. An ideal warehouse must have facilities for easy container loading while ensuring nothing is broken or damaged. You can easily find all this by checking out their warehouse and office when you land in Yiwu.

6.5 Attention: Yiwu Market Agent Tricks

Agencies that charge a service fee of 3% or lower often make use of a few tricks to maintain the interest of their company and to make up for the loss incurred in the service fees. Following are a few tricks you must be aware of:

6.5.1 They can change the suppliers

It might be the case that you think the quality of the goods provided by supplier A is good, and the price is reasonable too; thus, you take the next step and place your required order. However, you must be careful as the agent can replace the supplier A with another supplier, supplier B, who is comparatively cheaper to benefit from it. So, while you pay the same amount to supplier B, what you get in return is a product which has poor quality.

Attention Yiwu Market Agent Tricks

6.5.2 Agents ask the suppliers to give a kickback

Once you are in the market and ready to negotiate with the market, your agent will try another trick here. While it may appear that the agent is working in your favor and negotiating a fair price, what might actually be happening is that he might ask the supplier to quote you a price which is 2 to 3% more than the original price. Thus, you will have to pay more for a certain product, and the extra money will go to your agent.

6.5.3 Agents can force the suppliers to reduce prices further

Once you and the supplier have come to a decision regarding the price and product, your agent might then force the supplier to cut the prices further when he or she places your order. As a result, the agent gets more profit because of the price difference. In such a case, there is a high chance that the supplier will give you products poor in quality so that he can protect their profit.

7. Our Suggestions About Buying From Yiwu Market

Before you start buying from Yiwu Market, there are a few suggestions that you should keep in mind. With 75,000 booths and a total area of over 55 million square feet, the market can be quite overwhelming. There is only one of you and 75,000 of the shops that you have to visit if you want to buy more than one kind of product. However, it doesn’t necessarily have to be overwhelming. With the following steps, buying from Yiwu can become easier.

7.1 Plan the trip beforehand

Make sure you thoroughly plan all aspects of your trip instead of just randomly deciding one way that you need to go to the market. It is also better to know about the suppliers beforehand, even if you have hired an agent. Generally, suppliers with the same product list are placed in the same area, so you don’t need to roam around the market to spot similar suppliers. Visit the official Yiwugou website yiwugou.com to know about the supplier.

Once you select a supplier, ask the supplier to confirm if the samples and products in the store are the same. It is quite common that actual products and samples in the market are not the same and the supplier won’t tell you this voluntarily.

7.2 Take pictures of what you are interested in

If you come across a booth that has the product you are looking for and you are also satisfied with the rates, then take a picture and a name card of the product you are interested in before you continue your survey. This way, you can easily find your way back to the shop instead of going through the market once more to find that shop.

7.3 Don’t jump to pay money

You will need to negotiate the price but once you agree on a good rate, don’t jump to pay money. You first need to ensure that the supplier is trustworthy; thus it is better to pay as little deposit as you can. Then, once the supplier delivers on the promise, then you can pay the money. Or, you can come up with a system where you pay the supplier after he has sent you one container or something similar.

7.4 Take care of quality

As mentioned earlier, there will be a difference in the quality of the products. While that is not too much of a problem, you should make sure that the products are not too low quality. For this, you can ask the supplier to show you quality certificates or a similar document proving the quality of products.

7.5 Have all the necessary knowledge

Before thinking about catching a flight to Yiwu, it is better first to educate yourself on Yiwu as well as the customs so that you avoid an awkward situation like you going all the way to Yiwu during the Spring Festival when all the booths are closed. You’ll also find the market pretty quiet during the National Day holiday which is a 7-day holiday. While the shops will be open, you will find the market less populated. Apart from that, make sure to know the language spoken there, the opening and closing time of the market, as well as the day-to-day life in the city.

7.6 Stay for 5 days or more

You should not only prepare yourself to spend at least a week at Yiwu, but you should also ensure you have enough money. Think about it, visiting all the 75,000 shops just within a week seems to be impossible, but there are high chances that you come across what you want within the week.

7.7 Get a Yiwu buying agent

In case you are going to Yiwu for the very first time, then you should ask someone trustworthy or someone who has already visited the market to hook up with the agent they also used. Many agents seem to have a dubious nature as you don’t speak their language so they can try to inflate prices or dupe you. Generally, agents take somewhere between 5-10% of your total purchase values. However, Yiwu buying agents are essential because they can bridge the language barrier that is present between you and the Yiwu sourcing agent. Once you find a good Yiwu buying agent, you only have to focus on choosing the right product.

7.8 Select the right products

Yiwu is primarily known for mass-production of an array of products. Thus, if you intend to get only one piece customized for purchasing, the chances are that it is not going to happen. However, if you go for mass production, Yiwu has a plethora of options. You should visit all the different booth, have a thorough look at the products, and then pick the one that appeals the most. At Yiwu, you will find something that suits your taste.
