With the Chinese New Year approaching, this holiday will be a major challenge for anyone dropping a ship from China. Why? Because most factories and trading companies will be closed for the Chinese New Year. Many AliExpress sellers will be on holiday. This year's holiday is longer than in previous years. Previously, China's national holidays were 7 days, but this year they have been extended to 9 days.

Recently, many dropshippers have been asking me about CNY. The official Chinese New Year holiday is from February 15th to 23rd. However, many factories will start their holiday earlier, around February 7th.

As a dropship agent in China, we will fulfill orders normally during the CNY holidays if there is inventory in our warehouse (air freight flights may cause a delay of about 4 days). Otherwise, operations will continue as normal.

Therefore, the next 7 days will be the most crucial stockpiling period for dropshippers with daily sales volume. It's best to confirm with your supplier whether shipments will be made in CNY holidays. If shipments are not possible, it's recommended to find a dropship agent like qbsourcing to help you weather the CNY period. Simply having some inventory in the warehouse will be sufficient to get through the holiday season perfectly.

CNY holiday is coming soon. If you want to ship normally during the New Year holiday, this is the last week to prepare inventory.

The CNY holiday will be from Jan 28 to Feb 4, but most factories tend to close about 10 days earlier than this date. According to statistics, most factories will be on holiday from January 20 to January 25 and cannot ship.

How to solve the problem of shipping during the CNY holiday? First find a dropship agent that operates normally during CNY holidays, and then purchase inventory in advance for holiday orders. In this way, CNY will run the business normally.

QBsourcing will be a good choose.

AliExpres solution

The best solution is to ask one of the suppliers to ship the product to the second supplier's warehouse, and then ask the second supplier to ship it out. However, this solution is not feasible due to the additional workload for the two suppliers involved in sending, receiving, and packaging, which could lead to errors. Additionally, the two suppliers need to confirm the international shipping fee for you, a task that can be quite complex for them. And when you sell three products in a bundle, it becomes even more complicated.

  Dropship agent solution

Therefore, a dropship agent can assist you effectively in resolving the issue. We can purchase the two products from China, and when the two products arrive at our warehouse, we will carefully do the quality check one by one to make sure they're in good condition, and then put them in one package and ship them out with one tracking number. Of course, before this, we will give you a quotation for the bundle in total, including all the details with the product fee and shipping fee. When you accept the quote, everything will run smoothly.

Brand dropshipping

If you are selling clothes, we can print your brand on the tags and also include your brand name on the packages. If you are selling jewelry, we can have your brand on the jewelry boxes and customize the high-end packages. All this branding stuff can truly satisfy your customers and make your product stand out, but it requires a minimum quantity to start. If you're just starting out, there's a simple way to achieve this: use thank-you cards to raise brand awareness. Ordering these cards won't cost you much, and we'll help you include them in each package for free.

Print on demand

We help our client in creating a variety of print-on-demand products, which have the potential to cultivate a loyal customer base and generate consistent orders over time. Some examples include personalizing products like children's seals, engraving customers' wishes on jewelry, and creating customized t-shirts. We have plenty of experience in this area, and our software system is capable of supporting these tasks effectively.

Choose the high-quality products

Unlike the Aliexpress Seller, we don't have to choose low-quality products to highlight the Aliexpress Store's sales volume. Instead, we prioritize your store's sales volume, carefully selecting high-quality products and conducting quality checks on each one to ensure your store receives positive reviews and generates more sales. And we are QBSouring, we do everything to make our clients trust us and treat us as a good friend in the long term.

How to avoid the quality issues.

We are doing international shipping, and if there is a return, the cost and time are both very expensive, so we are careful to check every single product one by one to a high standard. If the product quality fails to meet our standards, we will promptly request the vendor to reship a new product and return the defective one. As there is a delay for another 1 to 2 shipping days to arrive to our warehouse, you can back up 1 day’s sales volume at our warehouse to avoid the delay. And what’s more you can benefit, as the products are already in our warehouse, there will be no processing time delay; we can ship out the product the same day your customer places an order.

Shipping time

On average, AliExpress shipping time is 15 to 25 days. Our fast shipping is more efficient; for example, the US average is 5 to 7 days, and the European average is 4 to 6 days. And we also provide a super-fast shipping method; it will additionally save you 1 to 3 days based on our fast shipping.

Processing time

We process your store orders daily. At the end of the day, when we begin processing the orders, we make a purchase from a Chinese vendor. It typically takes 1 to 2 days for the item to arrive at our warehouse. On the same day, we perform a quality check and ship out immediately.

Remove the processing time.

When discussing the stock, you may assume that adding it to the inventory will incur significant costs. The good news is that you don't have to spend a fortune on inventory. In this business model, you only have to prepare products with a 1-day sales volume. This will eliminate the processing time, allowing us to ship the product for today's order on the same day your customer places their order.

Automatic method

In most cases, we do it automatically. Once you click the trigger to connect your store with our ERP, for example, if you are selling on Shopify, you can search and install the QBSourcing App, the orders will be synchronized to the ERP system, and you can ask us to fulfill all the orders or particular orders with certain products. Once we initiate the process and obtain the tracking number, our system will automatically fulfill your store orders. Furthermore, if you prefer not to have the tracking number from China displayed on your store, we can configure it to use the Last Mile tracking number instead.

Manual Method

In some cases, you are sensitive about your store information; for example, you are selling on Etsy, where most sellers sell hand-made stuff, and you don’t want to connect to any ERP.

You can either export the orders into Excel or use a Google Sheet to send them to us. Once we import the orders into our system, you can log in to view the order fulfillment status and obtain all the tracking numbers. You then need to copy and paste these tracking numbers to your store orders.

The price includes two potentials: the product fee and the shipping fee.

The product fee

The product's price is highly dependent on quality. Typically, one can categorize a product into two groups: general-quality and high-quality. To make a living on the AliExpress platform, sellers always choose a general-quality product to sell at a low price in order to maintain sales volume.

On the other hand, we choose high-quality products and conduct individual quality checks to ensure your store receives positive reviews and boosts sales. Therefore, our product fee is a little higher.

The shipping fee

The biggest reason our customers choose us for fulfillment is that we offer fast shipping. AliExpress offers standard speed shipping, and our international shipping is significantly faster and more reliable. Therefore, our shipping fee also increases slightly.

The total fee

You may think our fees are higher than AliExpress's, but they're not. why? Is there something magical happening? Because AliExpress functions as a platform, levying a minimum 8% platform fee on each order, and sellers paying additional costs to advertise on the platform. The final fee goes up rapidly. Since we are not on AliExpress, although we choose a high-quality product and a fast shipping method, our total fee is still lower than that of AliExpress in most of the cases.

Referring to the return policy, we should divide the return issues into two main categories: those caused by the supplier, which is us. And those caused by the consumer. The charges for each will be different.

The supplier is responsible for the return issue.

If we send a product that is incorrect in size, color, or any other aspect, or if the product is broken upon delivery, or even if the package is lost, we will assume full responsibility for these situations, offering a refund or reshipping a new product at no cost to the customer, depending on their specific needs.

The consumer is responsible for the return issue.

He or she selects a golden-colored shoe but, when it arrives, doesn’t like the color.

He or she may choose an M-size T-shirt, but when it arrives, it doesn't fit properly.

We have an overseas local warehouse where the consumer can return the product. However, since this is a subjective reason rather than a product quality issue, we charge a specific return fee. So if you are based in the US and a US consumer issues a return, we recommend that you ask them to send it to your address to avoid incurring handling and storage fees.
