For international shoppers seeking authentic Adidas Superstar sneakers at factory-direct prices, 1688 (Alibaba's domestic B2B platform) is a goldmine—if you know how to navigate it. Since 1688 primarily caters to Chinese wholesalers, foreign buyers typically require a purchasing agent like OOPBuy, a reliable China-based proxy service specializing in cross-border transactions. This guide walks you through the process step-by-step and references a curated product spreadsheet

Why Use OOPBuy for 1688 Orders?

Unlike Western-friendly platforms, 1688 sellers often:

• Require bulk purchases (e.g., 2-10 pairs minimum)
• Only accept Chinese payment methods (Alipay, WeChat Pay, UnionPay)
• Lack English customer support

OOPBuy solves these hurdles by providing consolidated shipping, QC inspections, and doorstep delivery to overseas addresses. Their fee structure typically includes a 5-10% service charge plus international logistics costs.

Step-by-Step Purchase Process

1. Find the Right Supplier

Start by exploring the Adidas Superstar product spreadsheet, which catalogs verified 1688 suppliers based on:

• Price range (¥180()英文-¥400 depending on batch quality)
• MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)
• Seller reputation indicators

2. Submit Order Details to OOPBuy

After identifying a product link (e.g., 1688.com/item/XXXXXX), provide OOPBuy’s order form with:

• Product URL and specifications (color/size)
• Your shipping address
• Preferred shipping method (e.g., DDP for tax-inclusive delivery)

3. Shipping & Customs

OOPBuy offers three main logistics options:

Method	Cost	Transit Time
China Post SAL	$12-18/kg	15-30 days
DHL Express	$25-40/kg	3-7 days
Sea Freight	$80+/cbm	30-60 days

For EU/US buyers, declare value under €22/$800 to reduce customs duties.
