Begin by registering an account on Sugargoo's website. The platform supports multiple languages, facilitating an easy setup. Navigate the dashboard to familiarize yourself with its features, such as the "Purchase for Me" service, warehouse storage options, and shipping calculators. Sugargoo agents can purchase items from 1688 on your behalf, eliminating language barriers or regional restrictions.

Step 2: Find Products on 1688 Using External Resources

In your Sugargoo account, locate the "Purchase" section. Paste the 1688 product link, specify details (size, color, quantity), and submit. Agents will verify stock availability and price, often within 24 hours. You’ll pay the product cost (converted to USD or other currencies) plus Sugargoo’s service fee (typically 5–10%). Unlike Taobao, 1688 often requires bulk orders—confirm minimum quantities beforehand.

Step 4: Warehousing and Quality Control

Sugargoo stores your items in their warehouse for up to 180 days (free for the first 30–90 days). Request QC photos to inspect products before shipping. If defects are found, Sugargoo can negotiate returns/exchanges with 1688 sellers—a crucial advantage for buyers who cannot directly communicate with sellers.

Step 5: Choose Shipping and Consolidate Packages
