1688 Cargo: How to Ship Goods Directly from China Without Middlemen

What is 1688 cargo?

1688 cargo is a fully managed logistics service. The intermediary company:

• purchases products using your 1688 links;
• receives the order at its warehouse in China;
• checks the quantity, quality, and packaging;
• combines several parcels into one;
• ships the cargo to Russia via the selected route.

How delivery through 1688 cargo works

You choose a product. Send links to the required items to the logistics specialist or through your account.

The intermediary places the order. They confirm availability, price, and dispatch times and negotiate with the seller.

Payment. You transfer money in rubles—to a bank card, business account, or through a money transfer system. The intermediary pays for the goods via Alipay or WeChat Pay.

The goods arrive at the warehouse. The cargo is inspected, photographed, and packed. If anything is missing or defective, you are notified before shipment.

Delivery to Russia. The cargo company selects a suitable route: air, road, or rail. Delivery is available to a terminal, to your door, or to a transport company.

Receiving the order. You receive and inspect the cargo and can begin selling—without risks or delays.

Why using 1688 cargo is cost-effective

• Access to prices without markups.
• The ability to work with dozens of suppliers in a single order.
• You do not spend time negotiating or making payments through Chinese banks.
• Delivery takes 7 to 20 days.
• Russian-language support and document preparation.

What to clarify in advance

• 1688 cargo handles only goods permitted for import. Dangerous goods, liquids, and batteries require separate approval.
• The delivery price depends on volume and route, not only on weight.
