In recent years, shopping directly from Chinese wholesale websites like 1688 (Alibaba's domestic platform) has become increasingly popular. However, for international buyers without a Chinese bank account or shipping address, this can be challenging. This is where Orientdig comes in – a reliable China purchasing agent that helps global customers buy products from 1688 with ease.
1688 often offers authentic Ray-Ban sunglasses at wholesale prices that are significantly lower than Western retail prices. By cutting out middlemen, you can save 30-60% on genuine products. However, caution is required as counterfeit products may also appear on the platform.
