AliExpress is often the first choice for dropshippers looking to source products for one-piece shipping. However, other sites can help you flexibly manage inventory at different stages of your dropshipping business.
Let me introduce these China dropshipping websites, and you’ll learn how our clients have built successful dropshipping businesses with a stable supply chain.
Why is AliExpress the go-to choice for new dropshippers?
It’s perfect for beginners because:
- Over 100 million Chinese products are available for you to choose and test.
- One single item is available, just like adding one product to your cart on Amazon.
- Easily import AliExpress products to your Shopify or WooCommerce store with one click using plugins.
- Most sellers support dropshipping services.
- Good after-sales support.
In short, AliExpress is beginner-friendly, especially for those with limited budgets, allowing them to quickly test and validate product ideas with low risk.
Why choose JingSourcing over Alibaba for stocking inventory?
There are thousands of suppliers on Alibaba, but why don’t I recommend using it, especially when you have a wide variety of products?
It’s like the simple truth of making money—it’s out there, but not everyone finds the right way. That’s why you should outsource time-consuming tasks to experts and focus your limited energy on what matters most.
Once you’ve tested and found a product that sells well, don’t continue sourcing from AliExpress. You should place wholesale bulk orders to lower your costs with JingSourcing. They offer:
Strong Sourcing Expertise
Unlike dropshipping companies that work with wholesalers, JingSourcing connects you directly with factories for your purchases.
Flexible Inventory Solutions
Simple customizations, such as logo printing and packaging, are available at an affordable MOQ. They consolidate your goods for shipping to your consumer or warehouse.
Shorter Lead Times
Streamline the supply chain from samples to final products, ensuring smooth operations so you don’t have to worry about missed deliveries affecting your sales.
Good Quality Control
They perform strict quality checks before goods leave China—sometimes even inspecting every item—ensuring they arrive in perfect condition for your customers.
Perfect After-Sales Support
Their Smart OMS ensures 0 shipping errors. JingSourcing guarantees compensation for lost packages or defective items, giving you complete peace of mind with every order.
They don’t offer a product catalog or one-click import. Their services are ideal for optimizing supply and cutting costs for well-performing products.
AliExpress alternatives you can consider
Here are a few small-to-medium dropshipping sites that you can use as AliExpress alternatives. While they may not have as many products as AliExpress, they offer unique advantages, such as focusing on niche product categories, overseas warehouses in specific countries, and better after-sales support.
Banggood
Banggood has 30+ overseas warehouses for efficient delivery time.
Compared to AliExpress, Banggood has fewer products but excels in electronics. All products are sold and shipped directly by Banggood, with no third-party sellers, which can result in slightly higher prices than AliExpress.
LightInTheBox
Originally known for affordable wedding dresses, LightInTheBox has more advantages in the wedding and apparel categories. The main markets are the US, the UK, and EU countries. Additionally, LightInTheBox has been expanding into Southeast Asian markets since acquiring the local e-commerce platform Ezbuy in 2018.
CJDropshipping
CJDropshipping is a new platform with 2 US warehouses and some partner warehouses in the UK, Australia, and France for faster delivery.
They started with jewelry selling and have an advantage in that niche. They also offer custom options, like print-on-demand (POD) products that are printed and drop-shipped from China.
Sup Dropshipping
Sup Dropshipping is similar to CJ. For example, they also offer POD products, easy to design with templates. Differently, Sup has overseas warehouses, such as Japan, and the EU/US, to speed up delivery.
One thing to note is that you need to log in to see product prices. Additionally, the product descriptions are simple, mostly consisting of images, with some still in Chinese.
Nichedropshipping
Like CJ and Sup, this new dropshipping site offers one-stop services, product customization, and overseas warehouses. Note that they don’t have a product shopping mall. Instead, they list product categories, and when you click on a category, you can view 4 trending items along with additional details. You’ll need to submit an inquiry for more information and product sourcing.
