1688 Taobao Sourcing

Based on Elksourcing dropshipping experience in the past years, now we focus on more to help dropshipping provide personalized dropshipping service, faster processing and delivery time and solve aftersale issues for better user experience, in this case we can bind our business to grow together for a long time partnership.

The order fulfillment procedure dropshipping from 1688 Taobao is a little complicated and can be divided into 16 steps which include store integration, update orders, sourcing purchasing, Arrive Elksourcing warehouse, QC, repacking, custom label packaging, barcode, update inventory& warehousing, filter complete orders, print shipping label, update tracking to store, pick up from warehouse, confirm orders, pack, shipping from China, update bill and aftersale.

Currently ePacket shipping delivery time slightly faster than 2020 pandemic period, but the shipping rates increased a lot in 2021, the delivery time still take 15 to 40 days shipping from China to EU and USA. Compared to 4PX Elkexpress Yunexpress it isnt that stable while the shipping cost isnt competitive.

However, ePacket doesnt calculate volume if the products volume doesnt exceed its volume restriction, and the failed delivery will be returned to our warehouse for free. You can compare small package line and ePacket to select the right one dropship from China.

There are mainly 3 jobs included in QC. The first one is that Elksourcing warehouse will check the flaws and brokens of the products received one by one and pick out the color difference, size difference, flaws, stains as well as broken products for return and exchange; The second one is to remove the supplier packaging, tag, label according to dropshipper requirements; the third one is repack.

Does Elksourcing QC 100% pick out the flaw products? It is very hard especially the clothing has lots of aspects and standards, we can only help you reduce the aftersale rates caused by product flaws but we cannot 100% remove them. But if dropshipper provide us a standard clothing QC standard we can help you maximum pick up the flaw goods.

In addition, QC doesnt mean functional test, it is just a visual check. If you dropship electronics from China, then you may need functional test, for example, test the air pod sounds etc.

Based on Elksourcing dropshipping experience in the past years, now we focus on more to help dropshipping provide personalized dropshipping service, faster processing and delivery time and solve aftersale issues for better user experience, in this case we can bind our business to grow together for a long time partnership.

Compared to other Chinese dropshipping agent service, Elksourcing personalized dropshipping service range from sourcing to aftersale to make dropshipper focus on store marketing and more important works. We continually update our warehouse hardware, software and trainning staff for faster order processing at most 1 to 2 days(except holidays). Meanwhile, we have professional aftersale team to follow all the abnormal package delivery, more guarantees to protect dropshipper and their clients.

Compared to other dropshipping agent, our labor cost and fulfillment cost is higher, thus we have 100 orders per month moq and our service fee might not be the cheapest as we try our best to help clients save cost and create value for their business.

Elksourcing mainly control product quality in 2 steps, the first step is our sourcing team only buy reliable supplier products with best sales based on their experience and Alibaba platform rules, the second step is to check product quality before repack and ship from China. In this two steps we can guarantee the products shipped from China without flaws or broken.

However, since we cannot control the international shipping part, the products especially fragile goods damaged during shipping we can only help you strengthen package to reduce the damage rates. In addition, if you need high quality products which also means the product price isnt the cheaper the better, that means you cannot order products only based on price.

Elksouricng do not require our clients to review or recommand our dropshipping service on their social networks, we purely provide comprehensive service include sourcing, purchasing, QC, repacking, private label and customize packaging, warehousing inventory, pick pack, shipping and tracking as well as aftersale to satisfy our clients dropshipping requirements at affordable cost and help them grow their business.

Thus we have no dropshipping service reviews available but hussle free dropshipping solutions for Amazon, Shopify and eBay eCommerce sellers.

Elksourcing do not suggest trending products or best seller products based on our existing clients as that’s confidential for our clients, furthermore, the trending products have good sales in other stores not necessarily have good sales in your store. Thus product selection is the basical works you should study online and test yourself.

However, if you want to sell niche products or general products in your store, we can help you source or suggest some quality dropshipping suppliers based on our experience.

Elksourcing offers QC service to ensure the products shipping from China in good condition. However, QC service doesnt equal test service, you can check the Elksourcing QC service in details.

Frankly speaking there’s no cheapest yet fast way for shipping as they are conflict. The shipping rates mainly depends on the product name, weight, volume, shipping country and delivery time, the more faster the more higher shipping rates, each virant is different there has a different way for shipping.

Elksourcing starts 100 orders minimum per month, clothing category we charge higher service fee as it usually has more SKUs and takes longer time for warehouse processing. Other product categories usually cheaper.
