Ship from China to Any Country | AliExpress, Taobao, Alibaba

China hosts the deepest catalog on the internet — AliExpress for retail, Taobao and 1688 for everything else, Alibaba for bulk. The catch is fragmented shipping: most Chinese sellers don't ship internationally at all, and the ones who do route through slow patchy services that take six weeks.

We solve that two ways. Free Chinese warehouse address you give to sellers, or full-service buying on your behalf — same outcome, slightly higher price, much less effort.

Two ways to do this

Shop yourself. Use your free iWishBag China address at AliExpress, Taobao, 1688, or any Chinese store. Pay them directly. We receive each parcel at our China warehouse, photograph for QC, and consolidate. You settle one international forwarding bill, and we deliver to your country. Best when you have an international card and shop China often.

Send us the links. Drop URLs on our order page with notes on color, size, or variant. We send back one quote covering everything — product, our service fee, freight, customs, doorstep delivery. We handle seller chats, disputes, and Mandarin negotiation when needed. Best when Taobao's Chinese-only interface is a barrier or you don't have a foreign card.

Where to shop

• AliExpress — English-language retail, 1-unit MOQ, easiest start
• Taobao — consumer marketplace, Chinese-only, broader catalog and lower prices than AliExpress
• 1688 — wholesale tier of Taobao, Chinese-only, factory-direct pricing
• Alibaba — B2B wholesale, MOQs starting at 50–500 units
• Tmall — branded products with authenticity guarantees
• JD.com — Chinese consumer electronics with strong logistics

For most personal shopping, start with AliExpress. For wholesale or anything Taobao-only, use "we shop for you" — we read Chinese.

Consolidation saves real money

This is the single biggest reason to use this lane through us instead of buying direct.

For one cheap item, direct shipping makes sense. For anything more, consolidation wins clearly.

Air or sea?

Three lanes. Pick by weight and urgency:

• Air Express — fastest, most expensive. Worth it for time-sensitive orders or single high-value items
• Air Standard — balance for most personal orders. Default for parcels under 30 kg
• Surface / sea — significantly cheaper for heavy or bulk shipments. Crossover usually around 50 kg

Your quote shows the price and transit time for each lane to your country, so you can pick on both.

Duties and customs

Customs duty and import tax depend on your country and the product's HS code. iWishBag calculates both into your quote, so the landed cost is fixed before you pay.

Duty depends on the product's HS code and declared value, so two items in one parcel can land at different rates. Things to know before you order:

• Phones and electronics — classified by HS code; some countries add certification checks for radios and chargers
• Fashion and accessories — usually a higher duty band than electronics in most countries
• Cosmetics — often restricted by volume or ingredient, and can need extra paperwork
• Lithium batteries — air freight needs UN38.3 paperwork; we handle this

If something at customs needs higher duty than initially quoted (rare but possible for misclassified goods), we cover the difference up to a tolerance. For larger discrepancies, we let you decide before clearance.

Common questions

Do I need to read Chinese? No for AliExpress (English). Yes for Taobao and 1688. If you can't read Chinese, use "we shop for you" — we handle the buy and the seller chat in Mandarin.

What if a seller never ships? Open a dispute on the platform within the protection window. If you used "we shop for you," we handle disputes for you — including the Mandarin parts.

How long do you hold parcels? 30 days free, then $0.50 per parcel per day. We hold parcels for up to 90 days; before that limit we ask what you want to do.

Can I combine China orders with other origin warehouses? Not on the same shipment — different origin warehouses. But we can time deliveries so multiple origins arrive together at your door.

Counterfeit goods? We won't ship items we can identify as counterfeit (fake luxury, fake-brand electronics). Borderline cases get flagged for your decision before forwarding.
