When I was, I was dressed in worn-out shoes, a bazaar tracksuit, a plaid shirt and a cap. Not very presentable, but everyone goes there like that, and nothing else is for sale. You need to get dressed - there is a market. The alternative is several stores where the goods are the same, only closer to home and much more expensive.
A pleasant fact: on average, the cost of clothing here is less. The choice is very large, the prices are very different. As in the provinces, there are flea markets, and someone really stocks up there. But this is a minority, and I do not recommend becoming part of it. Clothing should be bought in mono-brand stores.
What difficult words! The point is this. Bazaar clothing is sewn according to average measurements, without taking into account the individual characteristics of a person. Therefore, you probably also noticed: whatever you try on, everything somehow does not sit on the body. And a person dressed in this way looks and feels awkward. And pretentious inscriptions like Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana for 400 rubles and the well-known Abibas finally spoil the situation.
Monobrand stores sell products only own brand. Naturally, there are no fakes there and cannot be: the goods are only from the manufacturer. Such stores are also found separately, but if you decide to buy clothes, then it is better to go to a large shopping center. There are many small shops under one roof, where they sell clothes, shoes, underwear, glasses, jewelry, small accessories. The choice is large. In one store everything is of the same company, in the next store it is already another, and so on. Some companies are considered prestigious, others are democratic, and others are for young people and students. Clothing is produced there in small quantities, and not in millions of identical rags, as in the market. Every season, new things are on sale. They are sewn taking into account the fact that all people are different: someone is broad in the shoulders, someone has a belly, and someone has long arms and legs, and everyone will definitely be able to pick up something suitable and interesting for themselves. Models usually do not repeat, so it is not difficult to find exactly your own. The quality of clothes is much higher than the market, but the prices are usually lower.
Shopping malls are usually located next to some metro stations. The most famous of them is Okhotny Ryad near Red Square. There are always crowds of people, so we prefer others. Here are some of them:
- European (metro Kievskaya)
- Filion (m. Fili)
- Atrium (m. Kurskaya)
- Gagarinsky (m. Leninsky Prospekt)
- Metropolis (m. Voikovskaya)
It is very convenient that all the main stores are located in one shopping center.
Examples of stores: River Island, Zara, Promod, MANGO, Top Shop - clothes are a little more expensive there, but good quality. There are cheaper stores, such as: Bershka, Calliope, LOVE REPUBLIC, Stradivarius, New Yorker - the quality is much lower there, things are for one season.
It's nice that seasonal sales have been operating in Moscow for several years, as in Europe. Summer starts from the end of June to the end of July. Winter - from the beginning of January. At this time, you can buy things 1.5–2 times cheaper. If you liked some thing at the beginning of June, then you need to wait a couple of weeks and you can buy it not for one and a half thousand, for example, but for a thousand or 800 rubles. But there is a risk that while you are waiting for a discount, the item has already been bought. If you were going to buy one thing, and then another one came across at a discount and also needed - forget about the first one for a while and take another one. The next day it may no longer be on sale at the same price.
There are also markets in Moscow, for example, near the Petrovsko-Razumovskaya metro station or the Novogireevo metro station, where you can bargain and feel like you are back in the 90s. The largest and most famous market today is Sadovod. They sell mostly Chinese consumer goods there, which you don’t even want to wear at home. There are many specialized stores: sportswear, biker clothes, ethnic, vintage, etc. There are a lot of second-hand shops selling clothes from Europe, usually of good quality, but already used. There are high-end second-hand shops where you can buy second-hand clothes of high-end brands, for example, slightly worn Dolce-Gabbana for the price of new regular clothes. Such commission shops are found in the center - for example, there are three of them on Pyatnitskaya Street alone.
There are also stocks - where clothes of famous brands are sold, but old collections of two or three years ago, so the prices are not very high. Stocks are not located in shopping malls, finding them is not easy, and the choice is not always happy. There is a large stock center near the metro station Leninsky Prospekt - Ordzhonikizde, 11. Sometimes there are 80-85% discounts there.
In general, the choice is large, so enjoy your shopping!
Everything, of course, depends on what product you need.
The absolute leader in this area is China, here you can find absolutely any category of goods. Cons - trading in dollars and long delivery. Pros: very cheap (even if it is not a full-fledged wholesale), China promises to make its international payment system and it will be possible to trade without the dollar.
Now, more specifically on the sites:
Just select the "wholesale" category when searching for the product you need and view the products. A large number of local wholesalers have their own "page" on this site. The minimum purchase from them can start from 3,000 and end with 30,000, depending on the check, coolness and other factors. Delivery, of course, is not as expensive as from China, but still evaluate the distance of the supplier's region from your region and calculate prices using calculators on the website of transport companies in order to clearly see all the costs.
Prices from Russian wholesalers, of course, are higher than in China, and the range is much lower. And if you really need to quickly, then turn your eyes ... to Ukraine.
Yes, yes, you heard right. Ukraine. Odessa. 7 kilometer. The largest market in Europe. Your task is to find an intermediary who will buy goods there (trust me, at very cheap prices) and send them to you. There you will find far from all groups of goods, you need to specify about specific categories. But it is very profitable to deal with clothes with them, for example. Delivery to Belgorod, Rostov, Voronezh, Krasnodar usually occurs within 2-5 days, shopping mall or by bus. Further, everything depends on transport company. But ideally, of course, you need to go there and buy (which became a little problematic after the Ukrainian events)

The business of reselling goods is one of the simplest and most popular subspecies of entrepreneurship today. The meaning of running such a business is absolutely clear: buying things in bulk, selling for more high price and making a profit. Thus, it turns out that the most important point in this type of entrepreneurship is to determinewhere to buy clothes in bulkfind a good supplier, establish close commercial relations with him, control the goods and gain experience.
Items purchased in bulk can be sold in three ways:
- through the Internet;
- through your store
- on the market.
Today we will talk about the third option for business development.
Is it profitable to sell on the market?
Definitely profitable!
In order to become competitive, it is necessary not only to learnwhere to buy clothes for sale in the markets, but also follow a few rules, and then your business will only go up.
- The first step is to study your competitors. What product do they have, how do they offer it to consumers, what marketing moves do they use? Analyzing competitors does not mean that you should imitate them exactly. On the contrary, the meaning of analysis is to highlight useful points for yourself and use them, to note weak sides and against this background best light present your advantages, show the buyer why it is with you that it is more profitable, more convenient, more useful, more interesting for him.
- Extremely important point is the definition of target audience. In fact, this is a rather voluminous and energy-consuming process, often specially trained people are hired to determine their potential audience: marketers, advertisers, etc. The location of your point of sale, what hours it will work and how to properly present the product, who exactly to pay attention to, who will definitely buy and who will pass by will depend on the characteristics of your target audience. Qualitative Definition the target audience will save you time and money, find the “right” customers and immediately start developing your business, and not stagnate .
- If your product is unique, you should, again, focus on the tastes and needs of buyers, and not your own.
- Before starting a business, it is necessary to carefully calculate all possible expenses and leave a certain amount for unforeseen force majeure.
- You must understand that at first the profit can be either very small, or it can not be at all, because while you are looking at the place, consumers, empirically go to the necessary trading schemes.
Where can I order clothes in bulk?
Perhaps the most optimal, simple, safe and cheap place is the internet.
As everyone and everything knows, almost 100% of the things that we wear are made in China, therefore, it is worth directing your attention there if you need bulk purchases.
The leaders of e-commerce are just a few online platforms offering a variety of Chinese products.
Long established taobao and alibaba as well as 1688.com offer a wide range of diverse clothing from China. There you can buy things both wholesale and retail.
Directly on the sites it is possible to communicate with the seller and find out all the details of the purchase, delivery, and so on.
Which site should be prioritised? Everything is simple!
- If you need 1 piece of 1 item of goods, then you are on taobao;
- If you need more than 1 piece of 1 item of goods, then you are at 1688;
- If you need even more or even need to find the manufacturer directly, then you are on alibaba.
To ensure the safety of buyers, Alibaba uses the Escrow system. It guarantees the seller that he will receive money for his products only after the buyer receives his goods. Only after checking and agreeing to accept the lot, the seller receives money for it.
How to work with the Escrow system when shoppingclothes online?
- The seller and the buyer come to an agreement on the use of the Escrow system for payment and delivery of the lot. They agree on who is responsible for paying for services (buyer, seller or equally). The system commission is 6% of the transaction amount. Both parties register accounts and deal independently. This allows both the seller and the buyer to check at what stage the transaction is. When registering, you must enter data about yourself and your credit card into the system, this guarantees delivery and payment for the goods.
- The buyer pays for the products through Escrow. The payment is verified and the funds are transferred to the system account.
- The seller sends the parcel and enters the number into the system. The supplier will immediately know that the money has been credited to the system account. Steps 2 and 3 happen almost simultaneously.
- When the package arrives at its destination, the buyer checks it and, if the product matches the original, changes the status in Escrow. The payment process starts, the system debits the money from the buyer's account.
- The system transfers money from the system account to the seller's account.
Benefits in comparison
The main rule of trading with China: never start working with the first supplier you come across. The best solution would be a thorough study of the market for offers, goods, acquaintance with different suppliers and manufacturers, a careful assessment of the pros and cons of working with each, and only then - an agreement.
China is a huge country. Here you can find a similar product at a different price. If you want to lead profitable business, be patient. The difference in price sometimes reaches impressive proportions.
How to organize your trading place in the market?
To do this, you will need to acquire a stall or a trading tent. Before choosing, you need to consider how many goods you will have on trading place, whether there will be a warehouse, etc.
You should not spare money for a quality tent, because it is serious purchase. It will serve you faithfully for many years.
Find a good trade tent you can also in one of the online stores and order it together with a batch of clothes.
Where else do they buy clothes for sale in the market?
If you don’t know how or don’t want to use the Internet when shopping online, there is another way to buy things to sell in the market - a trip to China on your own.
So you can personally hold in your hands all the purchased items, get to know the supplier or manufacturer personally And check the quality of a batch of goods. However, it is worth remembering that during personal interaction you will need, at a minimum, the help of an interpreter and, at a maximum, an experienced person who works with the Chinese not the first year and knowing all aspects of their behavior.
Hi all! Yesterday it occurred to me to write about all the products from China that sell well, because many of my readers are looking for a specific idea to start their small business. Today we will talk about selling clothes from China and where to find suppliers of clothes from China.
Why clothes
Because it is an essential item. I'm in Everyday life I rarely meet people without clothes, but I don’t meet people on the street at all, and especially in winter) This product pays off every day and can be considered a win-win. Plus, in China, the price of clothes is just a penny! My girlfriend and I have been working with China and Taobao in particular for a long time, and when we go shopping (even branded ones), we laugh at the prices, because on Taobao a thing costs 5 or even 10 times cheaper. Well, after that, how not to sell clothes from China?
Clothing suppliers from China
There are thousands of them! Go to the Taobao website and you can find absolutely any clothes and any other goods there. I wrote about what taobao is and what it is eaten with in an article. To order on Taobao, you need an intermediary, and information on a verified intermediary is in the article.
You can also search for products on the largest Alibaba website:
And if you are in Moscow or close to Moscow, then you can.
Competition
Be afraid of teeth, do not give in your mouth! Sorry for the rudeness, and especially the girls, but you can’t say otherwise. YES, now there are many who sell clothes from China, but this does not mean that they will not buy from you. No one has hundreds of thousands of products and all varieties are enough for you, 100%! Plus, you can take only seasonal goods - jackets! Few people sell them, but you make an online store or a group in VK for jackets and they will buy from you! In general, they forgot about the word "Competition" and moved on!
Sales Option #1
If you have a small start-up capital, at least 20 thousand rubles, then you can buy a small part of the goods, and lay out the rest of the goods on order. Start a Group in VK, or Odnoklassniki, or a site in any website builder and try to test. Also, be sure to post ads of all products on Avito and/or other bulletin boards. Advertise your group and your site and test different kinds goods. There is no limit to your fantasies here.
Sales Option #2
If you don’t have any money to start at all, then just start a group in VK and do group purchases in your city. That is, just collect orders from people and pay with a meager margin and order once a month to start on Taobao. Then, when you have a lot of orders, you can order once a week, as you get some amount from customers.
Risks
In this case, you risk only time and a small amount of money for advertising and the original product!
Good luck to you! Ask questions in the comments!
Hello dear readers. For a long time I did not write anything about, but today it's time to return to the topic a little, but with a more serious question. Let's talk about where to buy goods from China in bulk. This article will be useful to those who buy large quantities of goods. I will talk about two sites where you can favorable prices(i.e. cheap) to buy any goods in China with delivery to Russia (clothes, shoes, toys, fabrics, watches, branded bags and much more).
Why is it relevant
The growth of the exchange rate does not stop, prices are rising and entrepreneurs need to look for options to purchase goods at lower prices.
Remember, I wrote an article about what's on? In it, I mentioned about. Now it is also profitable to buy goods on Taobao, but there are no wholesale prices there and it is no longer so profitable for wholesalers to buy.
What is meant by wholesale
Many people often ask me questions about buying in bulk from China, but then it turns out that people want to buy many different products. THIS IS NOT WHOLESALE!
Wholesale is when 1 type of product is bought in N quantities.
Each seller (supplier) has its own prices depending on the size of the wholesale purchase. Someone from 10 pieces already gives a wholesale price, and someone only from 1000 pieces. But there are also such examples when from 10 pieces one price, from 100 another, from 1000 a third, etc. That is, the more you buy, the cheaper the product is.
Conclusion: Those who want to buy many types of goods for an assortment of 1 piece each, then you are at. And those who need to purchase a certain amount of one item of goods, then you should read this article further!
2 sites for buying in bulk from China
There may be more sites, I did not find.
2 tested so far:
- 1688 - in Chinese, like Taobao
- Alibaba- Russian language is also available
On these sites you can really find favorable wholesale prices for various goods: clothes, shoes, accessories, fabrics, household chemicals, cosmetics, products for children, interior items, furniture and even vehicles. IN general ALL-ALL-ALL goods that can be bought in China.
According to the algorithm of operation of these sites is completely different and work with them is carried out in different ways.
1688 is a wholesale site for the Chinese domestic market. Those. only the Chinese can buy there (as before on Taobao), but Russians need to work through an intermediary, as we are now working with Taobao. The work process is 1 in 1, like with Taobao, but the prices there are cheaper depending on the quantity of goods purchased. Here is an article about that, and now let's move on.
Alibaba is the main wholesale platform of the Alibaba Group(Aliexpress, Taobao, 1688, Tmall, etc. are all sites of this company). You can't buy on Alibaba, it's not an online store. This is a platform where wholesalers, factories and factories from all over the world post their offers, but 90% of them are in China. There you can only find the product you are interested in and contact the supplier to clarify the conditions, the current price, etc.
Those. you contact the supplier and you can already discuss cooperation options, discounts, delivery or some additional details with him. And only after discussing all the details, make a purchase directly from the supplier or through an intermediary (as in the case of Taobao or 1688), or through an internal free trade assurance service.
- Here is the instruction.
- But more.
Output
Now you know where to buy goods in bulk from China. Let's repeat it again:
- If you need 1 piece of 1 item of goods, then you are on Taobao;
- If you need more than 1 piece of 1 item of goods, then you are at 1688;
- If even more or even you need to find the manufacturer directly, then you are on Alibaba.
And now wait for an article on how to work with these sites (except for Taobao, because it already exists). Thank you all for your attention! I look forward to your comments.
Sincerely, Schmidt Nikolai
