Step 1: Find Reliable Nike Blazer Listings on 1688

Unlike western e-commerce sites, 1688 (Alibaba's B2B platform) requires Chinese navigation:

  • Search using the Chinese term "耐克 blazer" or product codes from the spreadsheet
  • Prioritize stores with "金" (gold) or "诚" (honesty) badges indicating verified suppliers
  • Convert RMB to USD using real-time exchange rates (item +112.50% savings vs US retail)

Why Use Sugargoo Instead of Buying Directly?

➤ Communicate only in Mandarin

Sugargoo solves these issues by providing consolidation, QC photos, and English support.

Step 2: Configure Your Sugargoo Purchase

After registering at Sugargoo.com:

  1. Paste the 1688 product URL in their "Expert Buy" service
  2. Specify quantity/color:
