How to buy through CNB2BGO

From your first supplier link to dispatch: the information to prepare, the decisions to confirm and the checks along the way.

Step 01

Send your buying requirements

Search for products, paste a 1688 supplier link or send a buying list. Include enough detail for the sourcing team to identify the exact products you want to order.

  • Product links or specifications, including size, colour and material.
  • Quantity for each product and variation.
  • Destination country, city and postal code.
  • Target delivery date and any inspection, labelling or packing requirements.

If you only have a photo, attach it to the WhatsApp conversation and explain which details matter. The team can discuss the next sourcing step with you.

Step 02

Review the quote and confirm the purchase

The team checks the selected products and supplier terms, then discusses the purchasing and service costs with you. Product availability, minimum quantities and customisation options depend on the supplier.

Before you approve

Check the exact variations, quantities, supplier price, China delivery charges, service scope and payment arrangements. If a sample is needed, arrange it before committing to the main order.

A listing price or an initial freight estimate is not a final order quote. Confirm the costs and terms in the purchasing conversation before payment.

Step 03

Receive the goods and review the checks

Supplier orders are received at the warehouse for the checks agreed in your quote. These may include carton counts, visible condition, quantity verification and product photos.

If something needs attention

Review any reported discrepancy with the team. Replacement, return or acceptance depends on your decision, the supplier’s terms and the evidence available. Resolve the next action before affected goods are dispatched overseas.

Standard warehouse checks do not certify product compliance or identify every hidden defect. Discuss any functional testing or specialist inspection before purchasing.

Step 04

Confirm the packing and freight option

When the goods are ready, review the consolidation plan, packing requirements and final carton measurements. The team can discuss available courier, air or sea options for your destination and product type.

  • Confirm which supplier orders belong in the shipment.
  • Agree whether original packaging must be retained or repacking is appropriate.
  • Review the freight price against the actual packed weight and dimensions.
  • Confirm who handles customs, duties, taxes and final delivery.

Step 05

Approve dispatch and prepare to receive

Confirm the delivery details and required documents before dispatch. Tracking or shipment references depend on the selected freight service. Keep the team informed if your customs broker or receiving location needs additional information.

On arrival

Check the shipment against the delivery documents. Record visible damage or missing cartons promptly and retain packaging and photographs so any issue can be reviewed with the relevant carrier or supplier.

For repeat purchases, send the previous product references and any changes in quantity, specification or destination. Supplier terms and freight rates should be confirmed again for each new order.
