PERSONAL SHOPPING
Combine purchases from several stores
For clothing, shoes, homeware, daily goods, and personal supplies. The priorities are parcel intake, arrival checks, consolidation, volume control, and sensitive-goods screening.
CHINA E-COMMERCE SHIPPING TO CANADA
Ship purchases from 1688, Taobao, Pinduoduo, and JD to Canada
Connect China e-commerce purchasing with warehouse consolidation, item review, repacking, air or sea transport, Canadian customs coordination, and final delivery for personal shopping, wholesale orders, and recurring business replenishment.
WHO IT IS FOR
Different purchasing needs require different handling
The platform may be the same, but order scale, warehouse operations, and transport requirements differ. Define the use case before deciding how goods should be consolidated and shipped.
WHOLESALE
Consolidate several China suppliers
For 1688 orders, store replenishment, and small commercial purchases involving multiple suppliers, SKUs, carton formats, and arrival dates.
BUSINESS PROCUREMENT
Build a repeatable replenishment process
For ongoing purchasing that needs standard handling, shipment records, exception feedback, packing rules, and consistent Canadian delivery planning.
AFTER CHECKOUT
The cross-border work starts after Chinese sellers dispatch
Platforms handle checkout and domestic delivery. International shipping still requires parcel ownership, goods eligibility, final packing, chargeable data, and the Canadian destination to be reviewed.
Staggered arrivals
Stores and suppliers dispatch at different times, so parcels need to be assigned and consolidated continuously.
Duplicate domestic packing
Shoe boxes, bags, filler, and courier cartons can increase dimensional weight.
Mixed product categories
Clothing, food, cosmetics, and battery goods cannot automatically use one standard route.
Seller data is not final data
International freight should use the weight and dimensions after consolidation or reinforcement.
PLATFORM SCENARIOS
Each platform creates a different consolidation pattern
Multi-store personal shopping
Clothing, homeware, and daily goodsParcel intake, removal of unnecessary packing, consolidation, and route review when food, cosmetics, or other sensitive goods are included.
Wholesale and replenishment
Multiple factories, SKUs, and carton formatsSupplier consolidation, carton and quantity records, arrival progress, unified packing, and sea or large-cargo planning.
Many small orders
Fragmented orders and high parcel countsCentralized parcel management, removal of repetitive courier packing, and fewer unnecessary separate shipments.
Appliances and branded goods
Battery, brand, size, and damage-risk reviewReview battery specifications, brand attributes, retail packaging dimensions, and transport conditions before intake.
END-TO-END WORKFLOW
What happens between seller dispatch and delivery in Canada?
Each stage produces the information needed for the next. The process is more than stacking domestic courier cartons together.
Receive the China warehouse address
After eligibility is checked, use the warehouse address for platform orders.
Sellers dispatch separately
Stores and suppliers may deliver in batches.
Warehouse registration
Record customer and parcel information to reduce mix-ups.
Consolidation and exceptions
Wait for planned parcels and report issues within the agreed scope.
Repacking
Review duplicate packing and create the final shipping cartons.
Goods review
Identify standard, battery, food, liquid, cosmetic, branded, and oversized goods.
Final measurements
Record actual weight and carton dimensions after packing.
Canada route selection
Match goods, chargeable weight, timing, and postal code.
Export and clearance
Arrange China export, international transport, and Canadian customs processing.
Final delivery
Move into Canadian local delivery after the applicable process is complete.
WAREHOUSE HANDLING
Consolidation means rebuilding the shipment conditions
Warehouse handling turns several domestic parcels into final shipping units that can be assessed for goods type, chargeable weight, and route eligibility.
Parcel consolidation
Taobao, Pinduoduo, and 1688 parcels can arrive under one customer account and shipment plan.
Remove redundant packing
Review extra courier cartons and filler without compromising product protection or necessary retail packaging.
Measure final cartons
Use packed weight and dimensions instead of copying one seller's figures.
Identify mixed categories
Food, cosmetics, batteries, or brands can change route and mixed-packing conditions.

MULTI-SUPPLIER CONSOLIDATION
Stores and factories can deliver in batches before one shipment is arranged
Purchases do not need to leave every seller on the same day. Order and parcel references allow staggered arrivals to be assigned to one customer and shipment plan.

PACKING & CHARGEABLE WEIGHT
Good consolidation balances protection and chargeable weight
Duplicate cartons may increase dimensional weight, but excessive removal can damage goods. Packing decisions must balance protection, size limits, route requirements, and chargeable weight.

Several seller parcels with domestic courier packing
Repeated cartons, bags, and filler can affect international freight.
Remove, retain, or reinforce based on the goods
Fragile goods, shoe boxes, retail packaging, and returns requirements influence the decision.
Measure again and select the route
Results vary by shipment; fewer cartons or lower cost cannot be guaranteed.
CATEGORY & RISK REVIEW
A product available online is not automatically eligible for one Canada route
Provide product links, names, quantities, ingredients or specifications, brands, and packing information. These groups help prepare a review; they are not automatic acceptance.
Standard goods
Ordinary clothing, books, and daily goods without special properties can start with a standard-goods review.
Battery and electronics
Appliances and electronics may require battery type, capacity, or power information.
Food, cosmetics, and liquids
Ingredients, capacity, quantity, seals, and current sensitive-goods conditions matter.
Brands and higher-value goods
Brand status, value, intellectual property, and declaration documents can affect handling.
Furniture and oversized cargo
Provide unit weight, dimensions, packing, total volume, postal code, and unloading conditions.
CANADA SHIPPING OPTIONS
The purchase result determines the service, not parcel weight alone
After goods arrive and packing is complete, review product type, chargeable weight, target receipt date, and full Canadian postal code.
Air options
For compliant, smaller shipments with a higher timing priority or urgent replenishment.
Sea options
For larger or heavier personal and commercial purchases with more planning time.
Sensitive goods
Food, cosmetics, liquids, batteries, and brands require product-specific review.
Large cargo
Furniture, equipment, bulk purchasing, and oversized items require packing and receiving details.
1688 & BUSINESS PROCUREMENT
1688 wholesale is not simply a larger personal consolidation order
Commercial purchasing involves more suppliers, SKUs, carton formats, and arrival batches. One shipment can rely on ad hoc coordination; recurring replenishment needs a repeatable process.
- Consolidate separate factory deliveries under one purchasing plan
- Record cartons, SKUs, or basic quantities and report exceptions within the agreed scope
- Review final volume, packing, chargeable data, and service together
- Assess apparel wholesale, restaurant supplies, packaging, hardware, furniture, equipment, and inventory replenishment
Prepare for a business enquiry
- Purchasing
- Supplier count, goods list, SKUs, estimated cartons, and arrival plan
- Goods
- Categories, quantities, unit and total volume, packing dimensions, and special properties
- Delivery
- Full Canadian postal code, business or residential address, unloading, and target receipt date
- Operations
- Quantity checks, photos, repacking, reinforcement, or address splitting

E-COMMERCE FAQ
China e-commerce shipping questions
Eligibility, packing, and service choice depend on the actual order and Canadian destination.
Read the introductory Taobao guideCan Taobao, 1688, Pinduoduo, and JD orders go to the warehouse?
Goods that meet current intake and transport conditions can be sent after review. Share product links and attributes before ordering to avoid restricted goods arriving without a route.
Can parcels from several stores and suppliers be combined?
They can be consolidated under one customer record, then packed together or separately according to product attributes, protection needs, and route rules.
Must all parcels arrive at the same time?
No. Sellers may dispatch in batches. Packing begins according to customer confirmation and the status of the planned parcels.
Does the warehouse check quantities and variants?
Basic intake is not detailed multi-SKU inspection. Basic checks, HD photographs, and video services have different scopes and should match the required level of verification.
Does 180-day free storage apply to every parcel?
Free periods vary by parcel volume and order status. Small parcels may receive up to 180 free days; current periods, overdue fees, and clearance rules are listed on the value-added services page.
Can food, cosmetics, and battery goods ship together?
Do not assume mixed acceptance. Provide ingredients, capacity, battery specifications, quantity, brand, and packing information for current sensitive or special-route review.
Is freight based on the seller's listed weight?
Seller data supports only an early estimate. A quote normally uses final actual or dimensional weight, goods category, service, and Canadian postal code.
How long does e-commerce shipping to Canada take?
Total lead time includes seller dispatch, staggered arrivals, consolidation, warehouse handling, international transport, customs, and final delivery. Confirm the transport estimate after the goods and route are known.
Can 1688 wholesale support recurring replenishment?
A repeatable process can be assessed against suppliers, SKUs, arrival batches, packing, and Canadian delivery needs. Inspection and exception-reporting scope should be agreed first.
Can business purchases go to several Canadian addresses?
Provide each full address, postal code, volume, and allocation requirement to review consolidated transport followed by split delivery or another suitable plan.
