Most people only know Temu and Shein. But I know three platforms you can order from at very cheap prices. They're platforms where Chinese people actually shop on, so things are way cheaper there because you're buying directly from the producers. Even Temu gets its goods from some of these platforms. Likewise, a lot of "mini importers" in Nigeria use these websites. All those WhatsApp and Facebook vendors you see around, they get their goods from these websites at very low prices, then they inflate the prices when they want to resell. I'll mention them below and share their links in the comments section. 1.▫️1688 Best for clothes, shoes, bags, phone accessories, electronics, home appliances, and just about anything in bulk. They offer wholesale prices, but you may need to make bulk orders (10 to 100+ units). It's best for people who want to resell. The language on this website is Chinese, so you'll have to translate it. The video below explains how. 2.▫️Taobao Best for fashion, jewelry, home decor, gadgets, and niche items you can't easily find elsewhere. They sell single items easily, have a huge variety, and even better quality than what gets imported to Temu. It's good for both individuals and resellers. 3.▫️Pinduoduo Best for everyday items, kitchenware, phone accessories, small gadgets, and household basics. This is similar to Taobao, and often even cheaper. It's a great place for everyday buys. NOTE, though: Also, none of these websites ship internationally. You'll need a shipping agent to receive your order in China and forward it to you. It's also best to order in bulk. Some of the agents include: - Superbuy - CSSBuy To use a shipping agent: 1. Create an agent account on any of the agent website I'll share in the comments. 2. Paste the product link from 1688, Taobao, or PDD into their search bar. 2. The agent buys it and receives it at their warehouse. 3. You pay a service fee, then shipping once it arrives. 3. Agent ships to you, sometimes combining items to save cost. Just make sure to always read the descriptions. Sort by best-selling, read reviews and check the photos shared by reviewers instead of relying on product pictures. I'm sure you learnt something. Stay sharp! 🪒

If you know eBay, there's a Chinese platform just like that. Many "UK-used" iPhones, Samsung, or laptops sold in Computer Village actually didn't come from London. Some of them came from this platform called Xianyu, also known as Goofish or Idle Fish: a used-goods marketplace under Alibaba. Once you know how to navigate your way on this platform, you can get used iPhones, Samsungs, Google Pixels, cameras, laptops, and various gadgets at very low prices. Each seller will indicate whether the gadget has issues or not, so you can decide what you want. - Once you've picked the specific gadgets you want to buy, discuss with the sellers, and confirm what you're buying are in good condition. (Don't worry, some of them understand basic English.) - After that, you'll need a shipping agent such as Superbuy and CSSBuy to help you secure the goods and send them to your country. (I'll drop the links in the comment section.) - The agent can even help you inspect the goods, negotiate, and pay in yuan on your behalf. - When the items land in the agent's warehouse in China, they'll ship it to Nigeria by air or sea, depending on the mode you want. (Air is faster but costlier; sea is slower but cheaper.) Note that this platform is completely in Chinese, so you'll need to translate. They have a website and an app on the iOS App Store. You can log in with Taobao, Alipay or Wepay. ....... This is for information purposes only, though. Use wisely and responsibly, and ensure to do your own further research. Stay sharp! 🪒

If you don't want to buy used phones and gadgets from Xianyu, you can get brand new ones from JD. JD is basically China's Amazon. it's a platform where you can get authentic products, gadgets, iPhones, Samsung phones, Xiaomi, various electronics, clothes, and shoes from trusted brands. They focus on new and reliable goods. But then, JD also has an official secondhand section (Paipai), where you can get used iPhones without fear of being scammed. Their used listings usually have the "PaiPai" label. They'll clearly let you know the phone's condition: battery health, grade, and if it has any faults. Just read the description carefully before you order. You can sign in using your email, Apple, or phone number. But the smoothest way to sign in is to just link your WeChat, if you already have one. Simply look for the green WeChat button on the log in interface and you'll be able to get in with WeChat. You can easily change the language on the app once you're logged in. Just go to your profile, tap the globe icon at the top, and you'll find the option to switch to English. To get your product delivered to Nigeria, just use a shipping/procurement agent such as SavaBuy. They have an app. Send them the product link, they buy it, inspect it for defects, then consolidate and ship it down. You pay them in Naira, while they handle the Yuan. Easy peasy. This is for educational purposes, by the way. Make sure to do further research. Stay sharp! 🪒
