Yiwu gift sourcing: five districts at a glance
Use these established districts as starting points. Check the current market directory before planning a visit.
-
Send a written specification and reference images with quantity, variants, packaging and required receiving date. A hypothetical brief such as “350 ml ceramic mug, one-colour logo, 300 pieces” describes a quote request, not a market price.
-
Agree the visit scope and cost
current sample photographs, seller identity, available stock, minimums, written price and packing details. Ask which facts can only be confirmed by a physical sample or test.
-
Compare candidates, approve samples and document order terms. Confirm separately who places the order, receives domestic deliveries and checks count and quality.
-
Quote consolidation and export only after product compatibility, acceptance, packing and timing are known. Mixed orders do not automatically leave in one shipment.
Check the details of your gift order
A gift brief needs more than a product photo. Compare the blank item, the customisation and the packing before approving the order.
- Confirm materials, colour and the exact item to customise.
- Approve the artwork position and a sample before production.
- Check carton dimensions and protective packaging for shipping.
