Yiwu Market OnlineIs Yiwu Market Online?Yiwu market is famous worldwide for its physical markets. As internet technology is becoming more and more popular, everything can be easily put online. So people is wondering is Yiwu market online? The answer is NO, not really. Yiwu market is not fully online and it's not possible online fully. At lest, it can not be fully online in next 3 years. Why? #1 Yiwu marker is too big to be online. Nobody can move this HUGE market online, simply because of time and cost. #2 Yiwu market products update too fast to be online. This means a lot of time will be wasted because of frequently updates. #3 There are too many uncertainties with the supplying chain. These uncertainties made it hard to update online. #4 Suppliers in this market are not interested in online their products. Because they have visitors come into their shops everyday. #5 Most importantly, suppliers in this market don't have right online technology and skills. They're not used to online.
Any Online References for Yiwu Market?Even Yiwu market is not fully online, there is still some references for you to have a look at Yiwu market. en.onccc.com is owned by the same company runs Yiwu market. This company sent out a lot of their staff to market to take pictures and write descriptions for suppliers in market, then put their products online. This way works for a time. But obviously, it's impossible for onccc.com to keep updated with the suppliers. Suppliers can have new products in their showroom each week. They can also simply get rid off the products they don't want to put on show anymore. This means, for a lot of products on onccc.com, they actually don't exist in the market anymore. At the same time, a lot of new products on the market are not online.
Can I Just Order Via Yiwu Market Online?Personally, i would like to say "BETTER NOT". esp. for the fist time visitors. Emails and online chatting kill lots of time. There is high possibility that you spent lots of time, searched out a product, send out lots of emails, but received nothing. The possible reasons are either technical problems, or the supplier is not having it anymore, or they're just too busy... Most importantly, for a lot of products, you have to personally check the quality and feel the quality. I have a customer had his agent mixed a container of home decoration products according to pictures, but he could hardly sell half of what he bought :-(
