Quick answer

Confirm the sourcing, package, and route risks before quoting.

Use it to decide whether the request should start with supplier sourcing, buying support, warehouse checks, consolidation, DDP screening, or a freight quote.

Key takeaways: confirm the product and supplier context, collect packed carton data as early as possible, and ask for route review before committing to payment, pickup, or door delivery.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before paying

Can a China shopping agent buy from Taobao and 1688?

Yes. JTLGO can support buying workflows from Taobao, 1688, JD, Pinduoduo, and other selected Chinese marketplaces when the products are lawful and suitable for shipping.

Is a shopping agent the same as a freight forwarder?

No. A shopping agent helps before and during the purchase. A freight forwarder mainly handles the shipment after goods are purchased, packed, and ready to move.

Can JTLGO check products before shipping?

JTLGO can provide visible photo checks and package condition checks at the warehouse. Deep product testing or factory inspection may require a separate sourcing or QC workflow.
