Yiwu purchasing guide with the most complete and accurate experience

Today I would like to share with you all the experiences I have accumulated in Yiwugou!

Because Yiwu International Trade City consists of Phase I and Phase II and has a large area, purchasing goods is a tiring task. If you make preparations in advance, you won't be too tired and have to spend your limited energy on selecting goods. I will write it here in two parts: the purchase process and purchase preparation.

First, let’s talk about the preparations for buying from me (1):

1. OK: You can take the train or the high-speed rail to Yiwu. You can choose the transportation according to your itinerary and financial arrangements. Friends in Hangzhou can choose the train, which takes about 2 hours. After getting off the bus, it is recommended to take a bus to the International Trade City. Hangzhou City Railway Station (17 yuan) Yiwu Station Ningbo If you have plenty of time and are not afraid of being tired, you can choose Ningbo South Railway Station Yiwu, which will arrive in Yiwu in about 5 hours. It is generally recommended to take the bus at the passenger transport center (cost 67 yuan + 2 yuan insurance), the first bus is 6:25 (haha, you can also swipe the card, friends who have the card can use it, there is a chance to win the 20W grand prize.) Arrive at Yiwu Wangbin Passenger Transport Center in 2 hours and 20 minutes . The last bus is at 18:20 in the evening. After getting off the bus, go to the No. 120/121 bus stop opposite. It says South Gate of International Trade City Phase I. Get off at that stop because the south gate is Area A (District 1) of International Trade City Phase I. If you need to go to Phase II , you can take other buses and get off at Dongmen Station Phase 2. You can take specific buses.

Eat: There are fast food restaurants in the first phase of the Trade City. There are such fast food restaurants on every floor and in the west of the community. They are all Chinese style, and there are many varieties and colors at the east gate of areas F, H, and G of Phase II. Really good value for money. It is recommended to eat before 11 o'clock, otherwise there will be more and more people and there may be no seats, which will directly affect appetite and afternoon purchases. People will feel very tired, so they will be selected in this state. If you stay in Yiwu at night, you can eat at your hotel. There are many Arabic-style restaurants nearby.

Accommodation: We recommend Jinda Hotel here, opposite Gate E1 of the International Trade City Phase I. It is the Ximen of the first phase. The big sign is easy to see. The sanitary facilities in the guest rooms are better than those nearby, and the Internet is available (for free). The key is that the room rate is not expensive, and breakfast is only more than 120 (one bed, one ticket). It is the most suitable room for couples or couples, and the dining environment there is not bad. (A reminder here, you can bargain with the hotels on this road. If you can bargain, you can save 10 yuan/20 yuan.) If you want to live better, you can go to the foreign-related hotel in the second phase, which is high-grade and has a good environment. The service is good, but of course the price is much more expensive. In addition, if you want to open a Taobao store but have no supply, you can go to www.53shop.com. This is a professional supply navigation website that collects clothes, accessories, and cosmetics. . . Various supply information, specifically for Taobao store agents, can be shipped one by one. Take a look, there will always be something suitable for you.

Here is the second part:

1. Efficiency is the key. People always say that time is money. Proper use of time and reasonable planning of purchasing routes are the keys to our development (I will demonstrate my one-day purchasing road map later). People who have been to Yiwu Market will definitely be surprised by the scale, and first-time visitors will also be delighted. Of course, you will gain a lot from such a large market, but once you enter, you will be dazzled and lose your footing. So I bought goods haphazardly, without reasonable arrangements for funds, time, and routes.

A brief introduction:

Next, I will show you my one-day purchasing roadmap:

My basic purchase amount is around 5,000 yuan (replenishment in nature), and my home is in Ningbo, so my customized roadmap (including purchasing experience) can only be used as a reference for everyone, and there may be better and more reasonable ones than mine. of. Please also remind us of our shortcomings so that we can make progress and develop together!

First of all, I will follow a principle: get the most important products from the nearest store first, and put other stores that have less stock or are far away last, and give up when it’s too late (the trade city closes at 5 o’clock). Only in this way can you ensure the quality of your products. When I visited the source of goods for the first and second time, I used a pen to record the distribution map of the stores I needed (it can save time by avoiding detours in the future), and also recorded whether there were passages between regions, saving time and effort.

After each purchase, I asked for the business cards of the most important stores, and based on the market feedback of the products, I identified some stores where I often purchase products (I will now steadily purchase goods from several stores, which saves time, worry and is cheap, and the new style and quality are the best) All good. The most important thing is that they have no requirements for me, I can take as much as I like). By the way, don’t forget to buy a luggage trolley, preferably made of stainless steel, with good quality and won’t break. There are also packaging bags (woven bags) bought at the main entrance on the first floor of the second phase, 45-50 yuan each, 3-5 yuan each (don't save money, cheap goods are not good).

At 8:50 in the morning, I got off the car and went straight to the south gate. The elevator went up to the second floor and went straight to the jewelry area. I first filled in all the goods that need to be replenished this time. Because I am a regular customer and I am familiar with it, I got all the jewelry in less than an hour (because the store I chose has a good reputation, new products are put on the shelves quickly, and the price is reasonable with guaranteed quality. I don’t have to pick and choose at all. I just take them when they look beautiful. So I buy very quickly).

From 10:00 to 11:00, I went to the third floor to pick out gifts and handicrafts. I packaged them directly and asked the delivery service department on the middle platform of the stairs to help me deliver the goods (freight). This cost me a few more yuan. It was like the second day after arriving in Ningbo. You can pick up the goods right away, worry-free! All you have to do is hand over the goods to them and explain that they are fragile and valuable items that need to be handled with care.Their efficiency and service attitude are very high, they are trustworthy and I recommend them to you. Sometimes merchants are out of stock and may need to ship goods from the warehouse. It is necessary to remind you here. It is best to order from merchants with credit units written on their store door numbers, so that the wrong goods will not be shipped, shipped, or packaged poorly.

By 11 o'clock, the two major categories of products have been replenished, and now it's time to reward yourself. As mentioned before, this is the best time to go to eat early. Remember to add some nutrition, you can buy some fruit plate to eat, and take a rest! I will continue to restock at 12 o'clock. At this time, I will take an hour to observe fashion trends. There is no way to save him this time. I will buy something beautiful even if it is expensive. After all, your product is attractive because of its features.

Be careful at 13:00, it will close in 4 hours. Hurry up, so I immediately went to the second issue, high-end bags, followed by girls’ supplies, watches, and glasses. After 2 hours, all purchase tasks for the three major categories of products were completed. In the same way, I still like to buy goods from the same place, which is safe, reliable and has a guaranteed reputation.

It's past 15:00 in the afternoon, so we also took an hour to look at the current product trends in the second issue, and we must ensure that we will not be eliminated. There's still half an hour before closing time. In fact, some businesses had to close after half an hour. The most important thing now is to buy some delicious food, drink, and replenish your strength. It’s hard to even take a two-hour bus ride back!

Do you think my purchasing schedule is tight? Not really. Every step and every aspect is under my control. I won't mess up the plan at all, thanks to my thorough preparation in advance. If you summarize the records every time you come back and compare them with previous records, you will also get the best general purchasing road map.

Another key is logistics. In fact, logistics is also very important in the actual purchasing process. In the purchase process I introduced earlier, I bought only small things. 5,000 yuan is enough for you to fill a truck, but why can I carry it alone? It's actually very particular. Whether it is deliverable goods or express delivery, I try to deliver them on the same day, so that I can receive the goods the next day, and it will not affect my new product launch plan at all.

If you don’t have a car after purchasing, you can take a disabled car for 10 yuan and take it to the passenger transportation center. Very convenient. Some private cars will also make some extra money and will contact you proactively. It usually costs 10 yuan. Taxis there start at 6 yuan (as long as there are not many goods). Passenger trucks are more expensive, usually 20 yuan. decide as things go. If you have a lot of cargo, you can choose a passenger car. So shall we take the bus or the train? If there is not much cargo on a train, you can go directly by yourself (free of charge). If there is a lot of cargo, you can use railway consignment. If it’s a bus, you should bring checked luggage, but it’s with the bus, so it’s quite safe! If the goods are small, you can take them directly to the car. There is a door next to it where you can store your luggage. Generally, the passenger transportation center in Yiwu will not charge you money, but not in Ningbo. If you take the goods away, you will be charged.

Finally, I want to give you some shopping advice.

1. The first phase of the CDE area is suitable for small batch purchases, mostly concentrated in areas C and D. Basically, when you go to purchase goods, first check whether the store has a large amount of ready goods aside. If so, you can wholesale in small quantities. But there are still many shops specializing in foreign trade. If you see something good-looking, only put one sample of each style, basically for large orders (occasionally a few batches), most of which are headwear. Some of the big stores are much better. After entering, you don’t need to take the whole package, you can take it in batches, and there is generally no limit on quantity and amount. It is necessary to add something here. For example, the whole piece I mentioned earlier, they pack the goods and ship them, which is called pieces for short. Don’t let the seller know that you are a novice (otherwise the asking price will be increased or the seller will not approve it outright). I had a deep understanding of it the first time and the second time, and later I learned it from the people shopping next to me.

2. If you have a regular cooperative merchant, you can ask him to send express or freight for replenishment. You don’t have to go there, it’s very convenient!

3. When we purchase goods, the first principle is to save money, so we must budget the total cost of food, accommodation and transportation in advance, and then roughly determine the purchase amount based on the type/quantity of goods required. Of course, don't be too sorry for yourself, and don't try to redeem what you shouldn't.
4. Loading principles: Bulky and heavy items that are not easily crushed should be placed at the bottom of the packaging bag, and fragile and valuable items such as jewelry should be placed on top or carried with you.
5. Regional layout: The north of Area E on the second floor of the first phase is connected to the second phase by a corridor. There is no need to exit the motorway from the north gate of the first phase and then enter the second phase. This is troublesome and dangerous! The second floor of Area G of the second phase is also connected to Area H. There is no need to cross the motorway to enter Area H from the first floor.

6. If friends who return on the same day do not often buy goods, it is recommended to go to the ticket office to book the last bus when getting off the bus in the morning to avoid delaying the trip.

7. There are China Construction Bank and Chouzhou Commercial Bank on the first and second floors of the east gate of the first phase of the Trade City, and there seems to be an ICBC or Agricultural Bank of China. There is Zheshang Bank at the south gate of the second phase, and there are banks at the gates of areas F, G, and H!

8. Friends in Ningbo can choose Humei Consignment in Jiangdong or Yiwu. Usually it arrives on the same day the next day. The pick-up point is at Shisan Overpass. The one behind Nanyuan Hotel is behind the Municipal Party School, not far from Shisan Flower and Bird Market. I can’t remember the exact path. When the call comes, can you ask how to get there?
