What our clients say?
More questions highly concerned by our clients.
How do you charge for 1688 sourcing agent services?
Our pricing model is tailored to your service needs and order amount:
- If you have suppliers but need assistance with order follow-up, consolidation, QC, warehousing, and shipping, we charge 5% of the product value (min. $100).
- For one-stop 1688 sourcing, our service fee is $0—quotes are free, and all costs are included in the unit price so that you’ll see total sourcing costs upfront.
We also encourage you to compare our quotes with others. Some agents charge 5%-10% for this full-sourcing service. You can estimate overall sourcing costs by mainly adding product prices + shipping fees + service fees.
Any other pricing models for 1688 agents?
Medium-to-large sourcing agencies charge commissions for full service, usually 5%-10% of the order value.
💡 Be cautious of agents offering extremely low commissions (e.g., 2% or 0%)—they often make up for it with hidden fees elsewhere.
Small 1688 agents (1-10 people) typically charge a fixed fee per package or project. Here are two examples of how individual agents on Fiverr and Upwork charge.
How to find an agent for 1688?
It’s easy to find small agents on Fiverr, Upwork, or Google. These individual agents handle simple sourcing tasks, and some experienced buyers use them for basic 1688 purchasing.
However, for complex sourcing like product customization or supply chain management, most buyers prefer medium-to-large agencies. Yet, many agents on Google claim to offer one-stop services—but not all deliver on their promises.

Which is cheaper, Alibaba or 1688?
Many importers think that 1688 has more factories and lower prices, while Alibaba suppliers are mostly middlemen.
However, both platforms belong to Alibaba Group—1688 serves domestic markets, while Alibaba serves international markets. Both have a mix of factories and trading companies, and many suppliers sell on both platforms, meaning you may find the same supplier on both.
Sourcing from 1688 also comes with communication barriers and lacks international payment and shipping services, leading to delays, extra fees, or even order failures.
💡 If you really want to use 1688, working with an experienced agent can help you avoid costly mistakes.
