Introduction to Joyabuy and 1688
Joyabuy is a trusted Chinese purchasing agent that enables international buyers to shop effortlessly on 1688, Alibaba’s domestic B2B marketplace. Unlike global platforms like AliExpress, 1688 primarily caters to Chinese wholesalers but offers significantly lower prices – making it an attractive option for bulk orders and brand deals, including luxury items like Hugo Boss.
