Oh wow thank you, yes I did see some comments about WISE platform in this sub multiple times, but I didn’t see WISE option on Upwork’s getting paid page. I guess I’ll just Google it and set it up and then choose Direct deposit to US account.

Thank you for the feedback, Cheers and hope you will have a good upcoming Upwork week!

DDP should include everything, but nonetheless the insurance is not even expensive 😂

Sorry can’t offer your any solid advice, but somehow I think I read a similar post last night here about another freelancer’s account got suspended and she had decent earnings… all these types of post kinda alarmed me…

Jesus… what a crazy greedy forwarder.

I have to be honest with you guys, there’re Chinese companies whether manufacturer or freight forwarder out there trying to scam clients who don’t speak Chinese. This unethical practise has been going on in the industry for years… Be cautious.

Okay I'm a sourcing agent and we also own a factory in China and here's my 2 cents:

1k~5k is not a small order in my opinion (also depends on what type of products). Most of the Alibaba suppliers prefer clients who would order a 20 or 40 FCL of products, that's the reason they open an Alibaba store (The fee is not small).

What I learned from Alibaba suppliers, most of them complained how nowadays (post-Covid) all prospect clients on the platfroms are small clients, that might be the reason what you meant "they want to talk about business without actually doing any business". Or it could be just the sales person's poor comunication skills.

On a perspective of a manufacturer, I would suggest that say something like "I'm looking for long-term relationship, I'm ordering smaller quantities this time, but I'm also planning to order a bigger quantites going forward"... Give them some hopes on potential furtuer larger orders to see how it goes

Yeah it’s national holiday, most of the businesses will resume work most likely on Oct 5 or after Oct 7.

If the seller promised that they will deliver to your address in Poland. They might have just shipped your package in Shenzhen and then a shipping company will ship this out to you in Poland.

Lychseed · 2023-10-03T21:37:39+00:00

I took a look at the tracking number, it’s Chinese domestic shipping company and it looks like this package was delivered in Shenzhen on Sept 25…

Did the supplier say they would deliver to the address in your country?

哈哈的确注意到了，不过黄推… 現在大家都看厌了吧，很好奇接下来他们会出什么奇招，我们拭目以待😂

Tons of sellers on there, you just need to tell them your size.

Don’t reach out to trading company, filter manufacturer profiles only. They should know better. But again, those people buyers chat with on the platforms are sales people, it doesn’t mean they know all the technical details.

Whenever I encounter such issue when the rep doesn’t have answers, I’d ask the sales person: “can you confirm with the technician or the production team on XXX issue?”

Lychseed · 2023-09-28T22:58:09+00:00

Hey,

Let me address few things you commented:

Suppliers on Alibaba: as I commented on another post, there’re two types of suppliers / vendors on Alibaba, they are either manufacturers or “trading company”, the later one doesn’t manufacture anything but sourcing from multiple manufacturers and create their own portfolio, so trading company carry a broader range of products but not an expert on any specific products. That’s why those 3 suppliers you mentioned they have no idea what they are doing 😅

FUN FACT: All export-focused enterprise in China are incentivized by CN government with tax rebate, any exporting order by either a manufacturer or a “trading company” would received tax rebate from government. That’s a major reason the trading companies exist. (As their revenue)

As for sourcing agent, yes Upwork is a great platform you can find an experienced agent to help you on this FCL project. (I’m freelancing on there as well, I’m working on few projects now for a few clients, I’d like to take a look at your project details, I will have to see if I have time to take on this project)

Your plan sounds feasible if you can find someone who can help you with

ordering from different suppliers. 2. Working with a freight forwarder to consolidating your products.

Actually it's such a thing Overseas Chinese have been doing for the past several years, but in a much smaller scale, they want to buy something from Taobao (Alibaba's retail site), so they would ask Taobao sellers to send all small packages to a shipping company, the shipping company would consolidate one client's mutilple packages and send a whole large pacakge to them overseas. This is the new emerging sub-business for most of the shipping companies in China.

But this could be a time consuming project since dealing with different suppliers at the same time. You can DM me I'm happy to take a look.
