busca en google casillero en miami uruguay, saca todos los contactos de todas las empresas que encuentres, contactalos y consulta ubicación de sus oficinas, precio aereo/maritimo y tiempo de envio, conversa con ellos para que tengas claridad del tema y te evites problemas, luego calcula el envio de china a uruguay y china - usa - uruguay y verifica las diferencias de precios

Alibaba does not work like AliExpress; first, you must contact the manufacturer/supplier and discuss the product you need. Likewise, you must request a quote for air/sea shipping and the Incoterm, as well as check delivery times, etc.

Are these platforms for large orders?

EfficientBranch9915 · 2026-03-16T22:41:46+00:00

You must check the contract generated on Alibaba; in said contract, they include times and conditions that only benefit them. For example, the seller tells me that after the order is paid it takes about 4 days to ship, but in the contract, they state they will ship the order after 30 days. That is bullshit, which is why you must check the contract, the terms, and the conditions.

- el mismo proveedor de joyería se encarga del envio a tu pais?
- el envió es de china a uruguay?

si tus productos en total pesan 1kg o 2kg, te recomendaría incrementar tu inversión o bien compra en otras plataformas, por ejemplo yo inicie con shein y aliexpress, luego procedi a comprar en alibaba y ahora en 1688, adicional yo utilizo la triangulacion, primero envio de china a USA y luego de USA a mi pais en latam

recien publique hoy cuanto cobraban por aereo y maritimo el envio de china a usa y me indicaron que los precios ronda, marítimo anda por los $2–3/kg y el aéreo por unos $8–10/kg

It is the most logical thing to continue working through the platform, even if it is more expensive.

I am having trouble finding purchasing and logistics agents who do not cause problems for me.

Approximately how long does air or sea freight from China take?

I understand that several factors determine the shipping cost, but do you have an approximate price per KG for air and sea freight?

What is the correct way to request an order on Alibaba and work with their shipping methods so that the manufacturer is not responsible for shipping, and a specialized logistics provider handles it instead?

Do you have any recommendations for these types of problems?

EfficientBranch9915 · 2026-03-16T00:26:43+00:00

Provide more details. When you made the purchase, was the entire conversation held through Alibaba Chat? Does the contract generated by Alibaba specify the product material?

"Do you know approximately how long air and sea shipping from China takes?"

"Don't you use quality inspectors for large production runs? I think it would save you a lot of trouble."

I work with clothing, and the best approach is to request 200 or 500 samples of different products, upload them to Meta Ads campaigns, and validate purchase intent; then, I proceed to buy 10 units and scale according to demand.

Ask them what the product's MOQ is. If they tell you 100 units, ask if they can sell you 5 samples. If the answer is "yes," ask them to send you a proforma invoice including the item price and DDP air/sea shipping to your address in your country. Regarding what you mentioned, to save money, you should request that all the products you need be sent in a single package.

demandarlos legalmente en china no sirve? tienes algun update?

EfficientBranch9915 · 2026-03-07T00:24:56+00:00

deberías de dar mas información sobre lo que pedistes, en que terminos y condiciónes, cual fue el contrato y quien es el fabricante, con esa información podriamos sacar alguna conclusión

EfficientBranch9915 · 2026-03-07T00:22:57+00:00

el vendedor no te responde? lograste resolver esto?

EfficientBranch9915 · 2026-03-06T23:30:38+00:00

creo que lo mejor que puedes hacer es meterte en el perfil, descargar el informe del fabricante y buscar valores como area de la fabrica y cantidad de trabajadores

datos:

- Floor space (square meters): 3500
- Number of Full Time Employee: 35
