candly Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'm considering buying some packaging from Alibaba (also they have some interesting containers that we just don't have here) - anybody here have any experience purchasing through there? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I like ordering through Alibaba when I have the time to wait for the delivery. On average it takes about 5-6 weeks to get to me, sometimes longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Just don't pay by a wire service like Western Union. Otherwise, usually it is pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Don't they have a huge minimum order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I've never had to buy more than 1 item of anything I've purchased, even though I have always bought more than that because the prices are so good, and to get the best out of the shipping costs. It might depend on what you buy too though - IDK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siren12 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 i've never ordered anything from Alibaba because usually what i want ( such as fancy jars) you need to order palates or 5000 pieces or something minimum. I have read that you should order from shops that have been in business for a good length of time such as 5 years, there is ranking at that point that the shops cant pay for, i guess shops around 1-2 years old can cheat the ranking system. so i agree dont money order and be prepared for it to take a long time to get to you since the shops are usually in china/ Asia.

Trappeur Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I've looked at many things on their site and some jars but the minimum was thousands.......If anyone ever does a co-op from them, count me in. Trappeur 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
