Information about Meest China Shop
Meest China Shop is a service for purchasing products from domestic Chinese marketplaces, such as:
● Taobao
● TMall
● 1688
● Pinduoduo
● Poizon
Domestic marketplaces do not provide delivery outside of China. However, thanks to a reliable Intermediary, you can make advantageous and convenient purchases in China with delivery to South Africa. And this is Meest China Shop that acts as the Intermediary.
Meest China Shop has a variety of products in its assortment from different categories of domestic Chinese marketplaces, such as clothing, electronics, cosmetics, children's toys, food products and many others.
Uniqueness of the platform
Without being registered on marketplaces, without knowledge of Chinese and without the need to communicate with Chinese sellers, you can get products in South Africa at affordable prices.
After all, it is known that most products on the South African market with the Made in China label are sold at 500-800% higher prices than their cost on Chinese marketplaces.
Meest China Shop employees, being excellent in Chinese, take on communication with local sellers regarding your order. All details are agreed with you, and our professional buyers complete the communication.
Note!
The purchase of products from the Taobao (1) and 1688 (2) marketplaces is carried out according to the catalogue on the website.
The purchase of products via link (3) is possible from Taobao and 1688, as well as TMall, Pinduoduo and Poizon (an important condition for viewing products on these marketplaces is to be registered).
