Every different entrepreneur working in the commerce industry often prefers to resell goods from China. This type of business is profitable and can provide a stable and significant income. The main advantage is that bulk purchasing in China is cheaper than elsewhere, and entrepreneurs can charge higher prices when selling. The demand and popularity of Chinese goods among consumers also contribute to successful sales.
However, when working with Chinese suppliers, it is important to carefully plan every stage of the business process, from procurement to delivery. Negligence at any stage of procurement can lead to disruption of the entire supply chain.
Delivery of goods from Guangzhou
Purchasing goods in bulk in China is possible not only through online trading platforms, but also through physical presence at international fairs and visiting wholesale markets.
Especially popular among foreign buyers is the large Chinese city of Guangzhou, which was previously called Canton. This is where the name of the famous Canton Fair comes from, which always attracts the attention of entrepreneurs of various levels. This city is home to a huge number of different plants and factories that produce a wide range of goods that are popular among consumers. In Guangzhou you can buy very profitably:
✅ clothes,
✅ furniture;
✅ shoes;
✅ textiles;
✅ household appliances;
✅ stationery;
✅ building materials;
✅ other consumer goods and household items.
Guangzhou is famous for the fact that it hosts many interesting large-scale exhibitions, which are widely attended by businessmen from different countries, which allows them to conclude very profitable long-term contracts for the supply of products. Only the world famous Canton Fair is traditionally held annually in April and October. Here you can discover an inexpensive supplier of high-quality goods, personally communicate with his official representative, look at samples and discuss the terms of cooperation.
Another significant advantage of Guangzhou is the convenience of organizing the delivery of goods in any direction. The city had the status of a trading center back in the 19th century, when other Chinese ports were closed. Today, its infrastructure has been significantly improved, and Guangzhou has 4,500 berths, which allows for the active delivery of goods from this region. These berths are capable of serving large vessels and ensuring their rapid loading.
Today, there are several ways to deliver goods from China, including sea, air and land. The optimal delivery method will depend on the characteristics of the specific item, and the carrier can provide guidance on the most appropriate delivery option.
