@chelcie.b: Alibaba is OVERWHELMING when you first open it 😅 I am absolutely still a beginner, but after spending way too many hours searching, messaging manufacturers, comparing quotes, and learning as I go… these are 5 things I’ve learned to check before I even reach out. This is NOT me telling you a supplier is automatically safe because they check these boxes, it’s just a good starting point for narrowing down the thousands of options. And apparently some of you are Alibaba sourcing PROFESSIONALS 😂 so Part 2 will be the sourcing places you guys recommended to me the most! #buyfromchina #alibaba #customhome #B#BuildingAHousehomebuildingtips

Do you think with the cost of delivery it’s still worth it?

I’m waiting for my sample for custom wallpaper- I’m so excited I can hardly stand it- it’s based on a paper I have coveted for a few years that would cost me $14000 to buy (and can only be purchased by expensive designers ) and I’m getting it for $500…so excited

I am so confused on their pricing. For example, it may say $5.50 for 500 square meters. No way that means $5.50 for 5,381 square ft of flooring? I can't figure it out lol

i'm having a huge problem trying to get them to respond to do some arrangements for my wedding, i've reached out to two suppliers and both of them have responded only once and they still haven't got back to me about the pricing. do they normally take forever to get back about pricing and if they can do it ?

I buy a lot of things on alibaba and all but one vendor that I’ve worked with have been great! There’s def a learning curve and if you’re buying a lot of customized items, pay for the sample!!!

Do you have any info on the tariff cost to import? Never shopped on Alibaba but have been hit with massive secondhand shipping fees (from FedEx for example) and tariffs in business.

Yeah I’m with you on all of that and still researching. I also look at how many repeat buyers or customers they have and if I see one negative word in the reviews I bypass. I’m feeling like I to to hurry up and get on with my order before this way of shopping gets so big they start hiking up the prices. 😬🤣

I’d say don’t use the RFP function because then a bunch of people start sending you messages with products that are often not even close to what you’re looking for. Anyone have a shipping facilitator (packing stuff from multiple vendors) to save $?
