How to Purchase Telfar Bags from 1688 Using CSSBuy Proxy Service

2025-03-29

International shoppers seeking authentic Telfar bags at factory prices often face logistical challenges when buying directly from Chinese wholesalers. This comprehensive guide demonstrates how CSSBuy - a leading Chinese purchasing agent - bridges this gap by facilitating transactions on 1688.com (Alibaba's domestic marketplace). The process combines savvy shopping techniques with professional proxy services.

Why 1688 Instead of Other Platforms?

While AliExpress serves international customers, 1688.com offers significant advantages when proxy services handle the purchasing:

  • Wholesale Pricing
  • Wider Selection
  • Direct Factory Sources

CSSBuy's expertise navigates 1688's Chinese-only interface and domestic shipping requirements that normally prevent direct international purchases.

Identifying Authentic Sellers

The Telfar product spreadsheet

CSSBuy agents can verify product authenticity by cross-referencing factory credentials and item SKUs against this database.

6-Step Purchase Workflow

1. Create CSSBuy Account

The free registration includes a virtual Chinese address – crucial for 1688 stores that only ship domestically. Premium accounts receive priority customer support during authentication checks.

2. Submit Product Links

Paste product URLs from the spreadsheet into CSSBuy's order form. Always include:

  • Exact colorway name/number
  • Size specifications (if applicable)
  • Screenshot of desired options

3. Initial Verification

CSSBuy specialists:

  • Contact seller for current stock
  • Confirm genuine materials (vegan leather percentage)
  • Negotiate bulk discounts at 5+ units

4. QC & Payment

Upon warehouse receipt:

  • Free standard photos verify item condition
  • HD close-up photos available ($2/set)
  • Balance payment triggered after approval

5. Consolidation (Optional)

Multiple items can be repackaged to:

  • Remove retailer packaging for discreet shipping
  • Reduce dimensional weight charges

6. International Shipping

Choose between:

  • Economy海运 (30-45 days) from $12/kg
  • Expedited空运 (7-12 days) from $21/kg
