Yiwu, China - Is It Better Than The Canton Fair?

If you're importing from China you may have heard of Yiwu. Yiwu is the largest wholesale market place in the world.
If you're heading over to China, should you check out Yiwu? Or is it better to pass on it and stick to the Canton Fair and other trade shows? Watch to find out.

A really helpful share, wish you make a lot of money.

[@Kisorsosay]

Yes Yiwu is the center of the business world.

[@whitewave16]

Very informative! Thank you.

[@EcomCrew]

Glad to hear it was helpful!

[@jipr311]

I dont get it, you said here 3:05 , 3 to 5% of what ever I purchase. if I purchase 1000$, the 5% of that is 50$, but you said 500$ which is the 50% of the amount I ordered... which one is the correct amount??

[@EcomCrew]

Sorry about that. It's supposed to be 3 to 5%, so in your example, the amount should be $50 not $500.

Excellent information! Thank you so much or sharing.

Although the market is open 365 days a year as you said, I would not recommend visiting during the Chinese new yr season (1 week before and 2 weeks after) as well as the october national holidays (first week holidays). The market maybe open but you will find 30% of the stalls closed as the shopkeepers are on holidays

[@EcomCrew]

Thanks for the tip!

[@kevinrichardson6339]

Nice math at 3.10 - $1,000 purchases at 5%is not $500 - really Yiwu is 1.45 hours from Shanghai by train - so many experts

I am looking to connect with fridge magnet and keychain manufacturers for custom designs. Is there any place I can meet multiple manufacturers to check on quality and best price?

[@EcomCrew]

Hi, Dency. May we know if you're searching for manufacturers specifically found in Yiwu, or are you open to those in other countries?

[@NaeemAbbas-mu3je]

Hey,would you mind to tell if it is bit low quality then which place would be perfect for better quality in china?

[@EcomCrew]

Hi. Guangdong Shenzhen is also worth checking.

[@raymondchua1558]

Thanks for the video.. Once we hire agent there, can we get the contact(wechat) of the supplier/store owner? So that we can just directly contact them for repeat order?

[@EcomCrew]

Yiwu is mostly middle men - both the actual brokers and the shops inside.

[@raymondchua1558]

@@EcomCrew got it.. thanks.. :)

[@falconfrank548]

hard to do that,as few shops could speak english.

[@chanakasanoj6717]

How do we find an agent there???

SOUND Quality is too poor, pls upgrade the gear

[@EcomCrew]

Hey Anil. Sound works well on our end. Can you give us more details?

[@kevinrichardson6339]

Poor advise

[@EcomCrew]

Hey Kevin. Sorry you feel that way about this video. Can you share what it is that you disagree with?

[@kevinrichardson6339]

@@EcomCrew I have done business in Yiwu on 4 trips. I have never seen these tour guides at the Marriott (just across the road from the markets) don't know where you stay. Shanghai to Yiwu is 1 hour 45 minutes on the fast train. Your MOQ estimates are wrong. Glad you are not my accountant with your agent % costs. The shopkeepers English is better than my Chinese. You also seem to be angling that you can only buy products for Africa and the third world countries. This is nonsense. Buyers i meet at my hotel came from all countries. Many factories are located in towns within 1 hour drive from Yiwu markets. Maybe your account of Yiwu was current in 2016 and maybe viewers should understand its is not current in 2019.
