For sourcng BSDropshipping recommends providing an AliExpress link instead of an Alibaba link for the following reasons:

● Alibaba is a B2B platform. Most sellers on Alibaba are large factories testing the market reaction to new products or products that are not suitable for dropshipping. They usually do not keep stock but only manufacture products after receiving bulk orders. This means that there may be no stock available in the Chinese market, and production will only start once they receive a large order. As a result, you would need to buy in bulk and wait several days for production and stock availability.

● AliExpress is a B2C platform. Sellers on AliExpress, similar to dropshippers, act as middlemen. Since all orders on AliExpress must be shipped within a specific time frame, sellers generally keep enough stock readily available in the market. This allows for easier purchasing and faster shipping. Additionally, the quality of products is more consistent and guaranteed.

Please note that we can not purchase from Aliexpress and Alibaba.com because these platforms are designed for selling to markets outside of China, and Chinese people are unable to place orders on these platforms.

We need an AliExpress link to view the product information only. We will contact the original manufacturer for a better price. AliExpress will be used only as a reference for product information.
