How airpods pro will protect your hearing (and even replace hearing aids), the 5 major drawbacks of flip foldables i didn't expect.

Most internet users will be familiar with AliExpress, but it's far from being the only Chinese website that ships to the US. While you might not be able to find luxury items from the world's top brands, Chinese shopping sites that can ship products to the US are great for cheap electronics, basic clothing, and items for around the home.

Here are the best Chinese shopping sites that ship to the United States.

1. AliExpress

AliExpress is arguably the most well-known Chinese online store. With revenues of over $55 billion, it's also the largest; it earns more than five times more money than eBay.

Unlike Amazon, AliExpress doesn't sell any products itself. Instead, it's an e-commerce platform connecting you with third-party sellers. The sellers are predominantly based in China, but there are also vendors in other South-East Asian countries.

Many vendors offer free shipping, but deliveries will take longer to arrive. You can also use DHL, UPS, FedEx, and other international couriers, depending on the seller.

If you're thinking about making a purchase, make sure you check out our guide to avoid scams on AliExpress before you hit the "Buy" button. But make no mistake, AliExpress is a legit Chinese online shopping site .

2. Banggood

We spoke about Banggood when we reviewed the best sites for buying cheap electronics . Although electronics are the site's main focus, you will also find sports equipment, fashion accessories, jewelry, and health products.

The business itself has been around since 2004, making it one of the older Chinese sites that ships to the United States. Besides the US, Banggood is a well-known Chinese shopping site that ships products globally, save for a few territories.

Some orders qualify for free shipping. Again, however, be warned that free deliveries can take a long time to arrive. We're talking months, not weeks.

Banggood supports several payment methods. Credit cards, wire transfers, and PayPal are all supported, as are a host of third-party options like iDEAL and Dotpay.

3. GearBest

GearBest is a newer Chinese online store than the first two sites we looked at. It has only existed since 2014.

The site has close ties with Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi and offers much better deals on the company's products than you would be able to find in a domestic store. Other categories that the site covers include Baby and Kids, Home and Garden, Appliances, Electrical and Tools, and Fashion, to name a few.

GearBest is also great for non-US residents. The only two countries that it will not ship to are Palestine and South Sudan.

The site offers four shipping methods: Unregistered , Registered , Priority Line , and Expedited Shipping . American residents can use all four plans. Unregistered shipping is free and takes up to 45 days. The price of the fastest option—expedited—is calculated by weight. It takes three to seven days.

GearBest has some US-based warehouses, which can significantly reduce the time and improve the security of non-registered deliveries.

Headquartered in Beijing, DHgate is primarily a fashion site (though it does have a wide collection of goods across different categories from electronic, home items, and more available). If you're looking for cheap shoes, wedding outfits, watches, hair and grooming products, or bags, DHgate should be your first port of call.

The site ships worldwide. If you live in the United States, you can use DHL or one of DHgate's many local couriers. DHgate also has a local warehouse that can get an item to your door in three or more days, which is faster, and you don't have to deal with customs duty (at least not directly).

DHL should get your order to you within a week. Some lesser-known carriers, such as China Post Air and Singapore Post, can take more than a month. Despite that, it's one of the best shopping sites that ship internationally for free .

5. YesStyle

Sticking with the fashion theme, YesStyle sells menswear, womenswear, childrenswear, and lifestyle products. You'll find everything from maternity clothes to cosplay outfits.

Unlike some other sites in this list, YesStyle sells mainstream brands. However, they are predominantly Japanese and Korean labels, so they may not be instantly familiar to western audiences. People who have a particular fondness for fashion in Japan and Korea will like the site; it has sections dedicated to the latest looks in each country.

YesStyle offers free shipping on select orders, and it typically takes three to five days (Express shipping) or 10-14 days (Standard shipping).

6. LightInTheBox

LightInTheBox, along with sister site MiniInTheBox, ships to more than 200 countries around the world. It sells products across three core categories: clothing, small gadgets, and home and garden. The company was founded in 2007 and has gone from strength to strength. In 2013, it was even listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

You can choose from several shipping options, all of which charge by weight. There is no free shipping. If you want to use a courier, LightInTheBox offers DHL, UPS, FedEx, and TNT. The estimated delivery time on LightInTheBox is four to seven days.

Shein is another leading Chinese website for online shopping. It specializes in women's fashion, though there are also some menswear and children's products available. It's undoubtedly, one of the best Chinese clothing websites. One of the reasons for that is Shein's low prices .

Shein only offers standard shipping and express shipping to the United States. Standard shipping costs $3.99 per order. If your order exceeds $29, shipping is free. Express shipping costs $12.90, but is free on orders above $129. According to the platform, P.O. Boxes and APO/FPO addresses can't use the express option.

8. GeekBuying

GeekBuying is an electronics store. You'll find 3D printers, streaming boxes, wearables, smart security systems, tablets, and more. Like GearBest, it offers exclusive rates on Xiaomi smartphones. The site also has some "fun" electronics. For example, there's a section dedicated to remote control cars and another dedicated to electric scooters.

Unfortunately, you won't find all electronic devices on sale here, including smartphones (not even iPhones or the best Android phones), high-ticket computer parts like graphics cards, and more.

Shipping is free if you use standard delivery, which takes 15 to 45 days. Faster methods are available (taking two to seven days), but you must pay for shipping.

9. RCMoment

RCMoment has a very specific focus–remote-controlled devices. You'll find gadgets like drones, cars, boats, planes, and robots.

Some products qualify for free shipping. If you want the fastest shipping, head to the US Warehouse section of the sites to see which products are already held on American soil. You can use Air Mail, EMS, DHL, or UPS to ship products from RCMoment, and orders take three to ten working days, depending on the selected option.

10. DealExtreme

The last Chinese online shopping website on our list is DealExtreme. The site is up there with AliExpress in terms of popularity. It's been in operation since 2006 and ships its products straight from its Hong Kong warehouse.

Almost all the products are electronic. The breadth of products is impressive; you'll find everything from glucose monitors to tattoo guns. The site also sells lots of branded products. There are devices from SanDisk, Lenovo, Sony, Asus, and more.

DealExtreme offers free worldwide shipping on most of its items. Only select products have a shipping fee. However, if you want an alternative, you can ship express with couriers for an added fee.

Make Sure You Shop Safely

Sadly, lots of online stores from the Far East have delivery problems in the US. Before you commit to a big-money purchase, make sure you scour the web for reviews of the store to make sure there are no ongoing issues.

Top 10 Most Popular Chinese Websites (UPDATED)

Our original article on the top 10 most popular Chinese websites, was posted back in 2014 by the lovely Bethany. Although many of the pages in our original list are still some of the ‘most popular Chinese websites’, so much has changed online in the last few years, that it was time for the ‘Top 10 Most Popular Chinese Websites v2.0’.

This time, we’re not going to give you ‘10’ websites, we’re going to give you 10 categories of websites.

not only has China’s technology changed, but Written Chinese has developed too with new apps, tools, team members, and thoughts and so we wanted to add some more information (and a video) in order to help you utilize and enjoy Chinese websites!

It is also fair to add that many people have now moved over from websites to their respective app versions, keep your eyes peeled for ‘popular app’ blog post!

Don’t be put off by many of these sites being in Chinese, even if you’re a beginner you can learn to navigate the sites by using a translator or dictionary to learn new characters. If you’re using a web browser, you can translate the characters using the Written Chinese online dictionary

With China’s “Great Firewall” blocking many websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube, you may wonder what Chinese people use to navigate the internet.  Below are the top ten Chinese websites and what kind of services they provide.

1. Search Engines

Baidu http://www.baidu.com/ 百度 (bǎi dù).

Baidu 百度 (bǎi dù) is still the most popular search engine in China.  It is also an excellent place to download pictures, music, and watch TV shows.  Because of copyright concerns, however, a lot of this material is not available in other countries.

Bing cn.bing.com 必应 ( bì yìng)

Qi Lu, Microsoft’s Online Services President translated Bing into Chinese as 必应 (bì yìng) meaning ‘likely to answer’. Bing’s simplistic design includes a dictionary that translates many languages.

2. Social Networks

Qq qq.com 腾讯网 (téng xùn wǎng).

QQ 腾讯网 (téng xùn wǎng) is well known for its instant messaging service that is similar to ICQ or MSN messenger. The website offers other services as well, such as email, news, music, shopping, and games.  Once you have created a QQ account, you can also register for “QQ Zone”, something similar to Facebook where you can post things on a wall that your friends can read.

Although people still use QQ.com as a source of news and information, Tencent is now more widely known (and used) for its mobile apps such as WeChat (China’s popular messenger service).

Weibo weibo.com 微博 (wēi bó)

Weibo 微博 (wēi bó) is China’s version of Twitter.  Users can create a public account that their friends “follow” and posts follow the same 140-character limit.  Chinese celebrities are very popular people to follow on Weibo. Weibo accounts can be viewed on the web and on the very-popular mobile version.

Weibo now has a new feature called 长微博 (cháng wēi bó, basically ‘long blog’) that allows users to now post longer articles with images.

Zhihu zhihu.com 知乎 (zhī hū)

In classical Chinese, 知乎 (zhī hū) means ‘do you know?’ and is a question and answer style set, similar to Quora.com. It’s frequently used to ask experts specialized questions on a variety of topics.

3. News and Email

These are the three most popular news sites that also include email in China.

Sina sina.com.cn 新浪网 (xīn làng wǎng)

Sina 新浪网 (xīn làng wǎng) is the most formal of the three and is the choice for broadcasting government-related news. Although dense with information, there are sections that cover entertainment, fashion, finance and sports articles. There’s also an amusing GIF section and featured videos.

NetEase 163.com 网易 (wǎng yì)

NetEase 网易 (wǎng yì) was once well known for its blogging service, but since the advent of Weibo, it has waned in popularity. NetEase is more accessible than Sina as far as information consumption is concerned. As well as local and national news, NetEase covers health advice, household and tourism.

Sohu sohu.com 搜狐 (sōu hú)

Sohu 搜狐 (sōu hú) is most well known for its Chinese-input method, Sogou .  Sogou has an enormous word database that constantly adjusts to new slang and emerging words in science and technology-related fields.

IFENG.com ifeng.com 凤凰网 ( fèng huáng wǎng)

Huangqiu.com huanqiu.com 环球网 ( huán qiú wǎng), the paper thepaper.cn 澎湃新闻 ( péng pài xīn wén).

The Paper 澎湃新闻 ( péng pài xīn wén) has a more contemporary method of providing news and is easier to read than other more traditional news sites.

4. Shopping

Taobao taobao.com 淘宝网 (táo bǎo wǎng)

You can find anything you want on Taobao 淘宝网 (táo bǎo wǎng) and likely it is very cheap!  Packages come through the 快递 (kuàidì) or express delivery service in a matter of days.  Other online markets, such as Amazon, have a hard time competing with the success of Taobao.

JD jd.com 京东 (jīng dōng)

Although Taobao is still extremely popular, other sites such as JD.com 京东 (jīng dōng) , have also popped up recently as a more reliable source of genuine products. People are now using JD.com to buy fresh food , such as vegetables, fruits, meat and seafood.

Amazon amazon.cn 亚马逊 (yà mǎ xùn)

Amazon.cn 亚马逊 (yà mǎ xùn) has also become more popular lately, due to it’s handy ‘pay on delivery’ service. You can now order from amazon.com and get fast delivery from the USA and other western countries.

Youku  youku.com/ 优酷 (yōu kù)

Essentially, Youku 优酷 (yōu kù) is China’s version of YouTube.  It is very popular for watching Chinese dramas, music videos, and other popular videos of the day. There are more and more shows and films from the UK, USA and Korea and Youku have recently started to add an inexpensive subscription for access to brand new movies and unreleased tv series’.

iQIYI iqiyi.com 爱奇艺视频 ( ài qí yì shì pín )

There are now many more websites for watching TV shows and movies that are becoming more and more popular. Some shows may not be available on Youku, but you can bet they’ll be on iQIYI 爱奇艺视频 (ài qí yì shì pín). You can watch some of our favorite shows, such as iSupermodel !

芒果TV mgtv.com/ 芒果TV ( máng guǒ TV)

芒果TV (máng guǒ TV) not only includes tv shows and movies but also music videos, documentaries, and educational shows. Mango TV is owned by one of the most famous Chinese TV channels, 湖南卫视 Hunan TV.

Biliblil bilibili.com 哔哩哔哩 ( bì li bì li)

腾讯视频 ( téng xùn shì pín) is another member of the Tencent family, where you can stream a whole host of movies, tv shows and animations from China and abroad. If you use the app, you can download the shows and watch them offline!

Like many western websites and tools, Dropbox is also blocked in China. However, there is a Chinese version named pan.baidu (百度云) becoming more and more popular, especially to share media such as TV shows. People often share their content on Baidu so that others can download movies and other things more difficult to access in China.

Use these sites and apps to find new, trending music in China. Most have a good database of music from all over the world, including lesser-known artists. Some allow you to download tracks and play them offline.

NetEase Music http://music.163.com/ 网易云音乐 (wǎng yì yún yīn yuè)

QYER http://www.qyer.com/ 穷游网 (qióng yóu wǎng)

Search for a city and view a mini guide for that place. There are ‘top 10s’ for each category, such as places to stay, places to eat and places to visit, etc.

8. Entertainment  & Life

My wonderful colleague, Chamcen, let me into what I believe to be (until now) a secret for most non-Chinese people. Sites similar to Groupon that offer discount codes and offers are becoming more prevalent in China and here are two to have a look at: dian ping (大众点评团) and Mei Tuan (美团). Because who doesn’t like a BOGOF now and again!

The following sites provide suggestions and reviews for restaurants, services, movie tickets, SPA and salons, take-out and group-purchases, just to name a few!

Dian Ping http://www.dianping.com/ 大众点评 (dà zhòng diǎn píng)

Mei Tuan www.meituan.com 美团网 (měi tuán wǎng)

Nuo mi www.nuomi.com 糯米网 (nuò mǐ wǎng).

For maps in China, try these two options. 高德地图 is a clean easy-to-read map, with obvious symbols to indicate metro stations and areas of interest. There’s also a slight 3D look so that you can tell where buildings are.

Baidu Maps http://map.baidu.com/ 百度地图 (bǎi dù dì tú)

Top 15 Chinese eCommerce websites (Updated 2024)

eCommerce has revolutionized the way people shop, and it has become a pervasive part of daily life across the world.   As of 2023, e-commerce's average penetration rate (i.e., the share of sales made online) was around 20% globally and is expected to be 25% by 2027 .

When it comes to eCommerce prominence, China is in a league of its own. The middle kingdom boasts an impressive 47% share of e-commerce sales , surpassing the nearest runner-up (Singapore) by almost 15 percentage points.

What's more, the vast majority of Chinese eCommerce transactions (around 80%) occur on eCommerce marketplaces , which offer merchants simple tools to manage their stores and customers a convenient and safe shopping experience. In this article, we'll take a closer look at this fascinating landscape and explore the top 15 Chinese eCommerce websites, most of which are marketplaces, along with a few examples of brand eCommerce websites.

This article was updated with the latest data from December 2023. In the previous iterations of this article, we used Alexa Rating to benchmark these platforms. Unfortunately, Alexa Ranking discontinued its service in 2022. So since 2021, we use SimilarWeb's data.

While the absolute numbers from SimilarWeb should be taken with a grain of salt, the relative size of the eCommerce platforms should be quite accurate. It's worth noting that SimilarWeb's metrics only measure website performance, and do not account for traffic from mobile apps or mini-programs. So, although SimilarWeb provides valuable insights, we must keep in mind that it may not provide a complete picture of an eCommerce platform's overall performance.

1. Taobao (淘宝)

• Website: taobao.com
• Estimated Monthly Traffic: 275.6M
• Rank: #105 Global, #6 in China

Taobao is the largest C2C platform in China, having been founded in 2003 and solidifying its position as the nation's biggest marketplace in 2005 after fierce competition with eBay. Taobao's significance in the Chinese e-commerce market was cemented by the introduction of AliPay, one of the country's two major payment systems.

Taobao also transformed the "Singles Day" shopping event into China's largest shopping festival, and indeed the largest in the world. However, rapid expansion came at a cost: for years, Taobao was the "Wild West" of Chinese e-commerce, plagued with a plethora of counterfeit goods, dubious quality, and even fraudulent activity. Thankfully, Taobao recognized the severity of the issue and implemented a series of measures to successfully tackle the majority of these problems. As a result, Taobao remains a major player in the Chinese e-commerce market and a trusted platform for millions of shoppers.

In recent years, Taobao has been focusing on live-streaming e-commerce, allowing sellers to showcase products through video and connect with customers in real time.

2. Douyin (抖音)

• Website: douyin.com
• Estimated Monthly Traffic: 231.6M
• Rank: #120 Global, #7 in China

Douyin, also known as “TikTok for China” in Western countries, was originally a short video social platform, developed and launched by the company ByteDance in 2016. In March 2018, Douyin introduced a shopping cart feature together with live streaming and live stream sales functions. Fast-forward to 2023, and Douyin’s eCommerce Sales have surpassed RMB 2 trillion, a more than 60% YoY growth.

During the pandemic, the "live streaming + eCommerce" new retail format took China by storm. In October 2020, Douyin announced that third-party products are no longer eligible to be used in the live-streaming shopping.

Apart from these protective measures, the secret of Douyin eCommerce’s success is the platform's strong user base and highly intelligent algorithm system. Its "interest-based e-commerce" uses Douyin's algorithm and data analysis technology to recommend products that match users' interests and needs.

Another aspect of Douyin’s model is combining social interactions and shopping in one medium. Users can easily complete a shopping experience by watching videos, sharing products, placing orders, and making purchases. Douyin's interest-based eCommerce is becoming an important trend in the development of eCommerce in the future.

3. Pinduoduo (拼多多)

• Website: pinduoduo.com
• Estimated Monthly Traffic: 354.4M
• Rank: #152 Global, #9 in China

Pinduoduo is a relative newcomer to the e-commerce industry, having been founded in 2015. Despite its short history, it has quickly become the world's fastest-growing company, with a remarkable annual growth rate of up to 50%, catching up with the user base volume of Alibaba and JD.

Pinduoduo is a vibrant platform that has introduced several eCommerce innovations, such as team purchases, social commerce programs, and a C2M business model, which allows consumers to directly influence the manufacturers and products they offer. It is also the largest marketplace for agricultural produce in China, connecting Chinese farmers with urban consumers.

However, as Pinduoduo has entered the space near the top of the Chinese eCommerce market, it has faced intense competition from established players like Taobao and JD, and its growth rate has slowed down. It remains to be seen how this monumental standoff will play out in the coming years.

4. Xiaohongshu (小红书)

• Website: xiaohongshu.com
• Estimated Monthly Traffic: 151.5M
• Rank: #156 Global, #10 in China

Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) is a unique platform in that it began as a community of reviewers where people could share their reviews of travel, restaurants, events, and shopping. The focus on shopping reviews was a key starting point for the platform's evolution into a fashion, beauty, and lifestyle marketplace. Today, Xiaohongshu operates as a 100% app-based platform, with the desktop version of their website serving essentially as a link to their app download page.

We have a more detailed article about Revealing the Strategy Behind Chinese Social Commerce App Xiaohongshu How can eCommerce companies use the Chinese app Xiaohongshu for their business? What is the best strategy? Read on to learn the answers! Xiaohongshu's strategy on our website.

5. JD (京东)

• Website: jd.com
• Estimated Monthly Traffic: 133.4M
• Rank: #213 Global, #12 in China

Another big contender in the Chinese market is JD.com. JD has been around for almost thirty years, starting as a computer equipment seller. The SARS epidemic of 2003 forced the company to take significant losses and shift its business model to online - something that would define its current success.

Gradually expanding into CD, DVD, electronic appliances, and finally into a wide range of goods, JD became one of the biggest retail platforms it is today.

JD is keen on exploring new technologies, including autonomous, AI-driven vehicles and drones. While most of the innovations are still in development, JD already owns the biggest drone delivery infrastructure in the world.

JD.com has also been expanding its logistics network and investing in technology to improve delivery services.

The company has been actively partnering with international brands to bring more imported products to Chinese consumers. If you’re interested in selling through the platform, we also have a detailed guide on An Alternative to Tmall: How to Sell on JD.com In this third article about TMO's China eCommerce Insights 2018 we will dive into the Ins and Outs of JD.com and for who it will be an alternative to Tmall how to start selling on JD .

6. TMall (天猫)

• Website: tmall.com
• Estimated Monthly Traffic: 81.1M
• Rank: #286 Global, #17 in China

TMall is a well-known online marketplace in China that specializes in business-to-consumer (B2C) sales. It was created as a spin-off of the C2C platform Taobao in 2011 and quickly established itself as one of the largest e-commerce platforms in China and globally. According to previous benchmarks using Alexa ratings, TMall was once the most popular website in China and the third most popular in the world.

One area in which TMall differentiates itself is its strict approach to counterfeit goods. To combat this issue, TMall requires a relatively high entry deposit and annual fees, with stores that maintain high ratings eligible for partial refunds.

TMall Global is a branch of TMall that is dedicated to helping foreign brands establish their presence in China. It is now the largest cross-border marketplace in China, offering foreign brands access to the Chinese market. How to Sell in China Online with Tmall Global Cross-Border (Updated 2024) Tmall Global is one of the central channels to enter Cross Border eCommerce in China.

8. SMZDM (什么值得买)

• Website: smzdm.com
• Estimated Monthly Traffic: 29.8M

The content represented on the platform covers multiple areas from electronics, home life, fashion, and sports, to tourism, cars, and credit cards.

9. Meituan (美团)

• Website: meituan.com
• Estimated Monthly Traffic: 9.5M
• Rank: #5.1K Global, #131 in China

Meituan started as a group buy site that was founded in 2010. After a series of successful consolidations with other services, Meituan became the biggest deal-of-the-day group buy company in China, accounting for about 60% of the market.

The company diversifies its offers into all kinds of services: from hotel and ticket bookings to bike rentals. It also places a huge importance on customer service and a convenient refund policy.

Meituan merged with Dianping in September 2020, securing its position at the top even more. The company was renamed to Meituan-Dianping.

10. Dianping (大众点评)

• Website: dianping.com
• Estimated Monthly Traffic: 7.8M
• Rank: #8.2K Global, #199 in China

Technically not an eCommerce marketplace, Dianping still plays an immense role in the Chinese online ecosystem as the biggest review website. Every service can be reviewed – from restaurants and spas to pet shops and wedding services (although food is by far the most popular topic).

11. Amazon China (亚马逊中国)

• Website: amazon.cn
• Estimated Monthly Traffic: 3.4M
• Rank: #12.3K Global, #328 in China

Amazon’s history of trying to enter the Chinese market goes back as far as 2004 when the Chinese branch was established. Fast forward 15 years – the international giant announced its withdrawal from the Chinese domestic market. Amazon still keeps its presence in China concerning the cross-border market, electronic books, logistical, and cloud hosting services (AWS).

12. Vipshop (唯品会)

• Website: vip.com
• Estimated Monthly Traffic: 2.5M
• Rank: #16.4K Global, #393 in China

Vip.com (previously vipshop.com) started operating in 2008 and based its success on the model “Deep discounts - limited time offers – Quality guarantee”. Up until a few years ago, it was getting closer to the top of Chinese eCommerce, getting to third place after TMall and JD.

Recently, VIP.com has been investing in artificial intelligence and data analytics to enhance its personalized shopping experience and has expanded its product offerings beyond fashion and beauty.

13. VMall (华为商城)

• Website: vmall.com
• Estimated Monthly Traffic: 3.5M
• Rank: #16K Global, #397 in China

VMall is an example of an eCommerce platform developed and operated by one brand – in this case, Huawei. It is focused on Huawei products – mobile phones, laptops etc, but also partners with smaller, less prominent brands, that do not compete with Huawei directly, but can enrich the catalog.

10 Best Chinese Shopping Sites That Ship Worldwide

Online shopping is expanding quickly all over the globe. For that reason, an increasing number of individuals and businesses purchase goods from China to take advantage of the competitive prices.

The majority of Internet users are likely aware of AliExpress. But it’s not the only Chinese website that offers worldwide shipping.

These websites for buying online are all in English and provide discounts for large purchases. Some also provide translations into other languages.

The 10 Chinese online stores listed are excellent for finding inexpensive gadgets, everyday apparel, household goods, and luxury goods.

1. AliExpress

The most famous Chinese online retailer is probably AliExpress. It is also the biggest, earning $55 billion in revenue, more than five times eBay does.

AliExpress doesn’t sell any goods as Amazon does. Instead, it works as an online marketplace that links you to independent vendors.

Although there are other merchants in other South-East Asian nations, most of the sellers stayed in China.

Retailers frequently offer free delivery, but packages take longer to come. You can utilize FedEx, DHL, UPS, and other foreign couriers.

2. RCMoment

The focus of RCMoment is firmly on remote-controlled gadgets. There are devices like automobiles, boats, robots, and drones.

Certain goods are eligible for free delivery. Visit the US Warehousing part of the website to check which items are already stored there if you care about the quickest shipping.

3. Banggood

When we researched the top websites to buy cheap electronics, we mentioned Banggood. Although the site primarily concentrates on electronics, you may also discover sports gear, jewelry, fashion accessories, and health products there.

Banggood accepts many payment options. They support numerous third-party solutions, including iDEAL and Dotpay, in addition to wire transfers, credit cards, and PayPal.

4. Gear Best

GearBest maintains tight ties with smartphone maker Xiaomi. It provides considerably better discounts on the brand’s goods than you would discover in a local store.

The website also offers sections for babies and children, homes and gardens, electrical, appliances, and tool categories.

The website offers Priority, Registered, Unregistered, and Expedited Shipping as its four delivery approaches. All four of the programs are available to Americans.

Free 40-day unregistered shipping is available. Expedited is the fastest choice, and the sellers determine its cost by weight. Three days to a week pass.

A few of GearBest’s warehouses in the US can speed up and enhance the security of unregistered deliveries.

DHgate is a fashion website even though it has some home items and electronics available. DHgate should be your first stop if you’re shopping for inexpensive shoes, wedding attire, hair and grooming items, watches, or luggage.

The store can ship to all countries in the world. Some less well-known shipping companies, such as China Post Air and Singapore Post, take more than 30 days.

6. YesStyle

YesStyle provides childrenswear, menswear, womenswear, and lifestyle items while staying true to the fashion motif. You can find everything from maternity attire to cosplay costumes here.

YesStyle sells popular brands. They may not be immediately recognizable to audiences in western, though, as they are primarily Korean and Japanese labels.

The website will appeal to those who have a specific interest in Korean and Japanese fashion because it features sections devoted to the most recent trends in each nation.

However, it can be challenging to return some things if you purchase a lot of merchandise and satisfy the free delivery criterion. You will have to pay for the return shipment.

7. LightInTheBox

LightInTheBox and its sister website MiniInTheBox serve more than 200 nations. It offers merchandise in the three main categories: homes & gardens, apparel, and small appliances.

Since its founding in 2007, the business has grown steadily. It even had a New York Stock Exchange listing in 2013.

There are various shipping choices available, and they are all weight-based. It provides FedEx, UPS, DHL, and TNT as courier options, yet free shipping is unavailable.

Shein is another well-known Chinese online retailer. Although it sells women’s clothing, it has some menswear and kids’ items.

Each order includes $3.99 for standard shipping. The shipment fee is free if your order is over $49.

Express shipment is $12.90, but it’s free for purchases over $99. The express choice is not possible for those who live in Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico.

Some comments mention that most consumer complaints are over ill-fitting clothes. So, you might want to double-check your size standards.

You will need to choose your sizes appropriately because SheIn employs an Asian manner of measuring dimensions.

9. GeekBuying

An electronics retailer is called GeekBuying. Streaming boxes, Android phones, wearable technology, tablets, and other devices are available.

It provides special prices on Xiaomi devices, similar to GearBest. Also on the website are various “fun” electronics. For instance, there is a section devoted to electric scooters and another to remote control cars.

When you choose standard delivery, free shipping will go along. It is also available on TNT and DHL.

Nevertheless, Geekbuying is the retailer of goods from the black market. Although products sold on the black market are legitimate, buying them is illegal. In some nations, it might be criminals.

10. DealExtreme

DealExtreme has been in business since 2006 and delivers its goods directly from a storehouse in Hong Kong. The majority of the items are electronic.

The variety of goods is astounding. You can find anything from tattoo machines to diabetes meters.

The website also sells a large number of branded goods. There are gadgets made by Lenovo, SanDisk, Sony, Asus, and more.

On all of its products, DealExtreme provides free international shipping. For an additional cost, couriers offer express shipping.

Check out all the pros and cons of this trading platform in the video below!

Which can I use to buy goods from China?

The most well-known Chinese internet retailer outside China is probably AliExpress, run by Alibaba. AliExpress doesn’t engage in any direct sales as Amazon does. Instead, it serves as a platform to link customers with independent vendors.

Which online shopping app is Chinese?

Taobao is one of the top shopping apps in China. In China, “ online shopping ” has long been associated with the app funded by Alibaba.

It has been the most popular shopping app in China since its introduction in 2003, and it continues to set trends for other e-commerce platforms.

Does China have online shopping?

From less than 34 million users in 2006 to over 466 million users ten years later, China’s online shopping population has been growing dramatically. That allowed this massive boom in the country’s e-commerce industry.

Final Words

Other Chinese websites for online shopping exist in addition to the list of the top 10 best Chinese shopping sites above.

Most of the aforementioned Chinese buying websites have shopping apps that you can download and use to make purchases on your phone via the Apple and Android stores.

All the China shopping sites mentioned above provide worldwide shipping, enabling them to deliver goods to practically every continent and nation.

The 10 Best Chinese Shopping Sites That Ship to the US

Most internet users will be familiar with AliExpress, but it’s far from being the only Chinese website that ships to the US. While you might not be able to find luxury items from the world’s top brands, Chinese shopping sites are great for cheap electronics, basic clothing, and items for around the home.

Here are the best Chinese shopping sites that ship to the United States.

1.  AliExpress

AliExpress is arguably the most well-known Chinese online store. With revenues of $55 billion, it’s also the largest; it earns more than five times more money than eBay.

Unlike Amazon, AliExpress doesn’t sell any products itself. Instead, it’s an e-commerce platform, connecting you with third-party sellers. The sellers are predominantly based in China, but there are also vendors in other South-East Asian countries.

Many vendors offer free shipping, but deliveries will take longer to arrive. You can also use DHL, UPS, FedEx, and other international couriers, depending on the seller.

2.  Banggood

We spoke about Banggood when we reviewed the best sites for buying cheap electronics. Although electronics are the site’s main focus, you will also find sports equipment, fashion accessories, jewelry, and health products.

The business itself has been around since 2004, making it one of the older Chinese sites that ships to the United States.

Some orders qualify for free shipping. Again, however, be warned that free deliveries can take a long time to arrive. We’re talking months, not weeks.

Banggood supports several payment methods. Credit cards, wire transfers, and PayPal are all supported, as are a host of third-party options like iDEAL and Dotpay.

3.  GearBest

GearBest is a newer Chinese online store than the first two sites we looked at. It has only existed since 2014.

The site has close ties with Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi and offers much better deals on the company’s products than you would be able to find in a domestic store. Other categories that the site covers include Baby and Kids, Home and Garden, Appliances, and Electrical and Tools.

GearBest is also great for non-US residents. The only two countries that it will not ship to are Palestine and South Sudan.

The site offers four shipping methods:  Unregistered ,  Registered ,  Priority , and  Expedited Shipping . American residents can use all four plans. Unregistered shipping is free and takes up to 40 days. The price of the fastest option—expedited—is calculated by weight. It takes three to seven days.

GearBest has some US-based warehouses, which can significantly reduce the time and improve the security of non-registered deliveries.

4.  DHgate

Headquartered in Beijing, DHgate is primarily a fashion site (though it does have some electronic and home items available). If you’re looking for cheap shoes, wedding outfits, watches, hair and grooming products, or bags, DHgate should be your first port of call.

The site ships worldwide. If you live in the United States, you can use DHL or one of DHgate’s many local couriers. DHL should get your order to you within a week. Some lesser-known carriers such as China Post Air and Singapore Post can take more than a month.

5.  YesStyle

Sticking with the fashion theme, YesStyle sells menswear, womenswear, childrenswear, and lifestyle products. You’ll find everything from maternity clothes to cosplay outfits.

Unlike some other sites in this list, YesStyle sells mainstream brands. However, they are predominantly Japanese and Korean labels, so they may not be instantly familiar to western audiences. People who have a particular fondness for fashion in Japan and Korea will like the site; it has sections dedicated to the latest looks in each country.

6.  LightInTheBox

LightInTheBox, along with sister site MiniInTheBox, ships to more than 200 countries around the world. It sells products across three core categories: clothing, small gadgets, and home and garden. The company was founded in 2007 and has gone from strength to strength. In 2013, it even listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

You can choose from several shipping options, all of which charge by weight. There is no free shipping. If you want to use a courier, LightInTheBox offers DHL, UPS, FedEx, and TNT.

7.  Shein

Shein is another leading Chinese website for online shopping. It specializes in women’s fashion, though there are also some menswear and children’s products available.

Shein only offers standard shipping and express shipping to the United States. Standard shipping costs $3.99 per order. If your order exceeds $49, shipping is free. Express shipping costs $12.90 but is free on orders above $99.

Residents of Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska cannot use the express option.

8.GeekBuying 

GeekBuying is an electronics store. You’ll find Android phones, streaming boxes, wearables, smart security systems, tablets, and more. Like GearBest, it offers exclusive rates on Xiaomi smartphones. The site also has some “fun” electronics. For example, there’s a section dedicated to remote control cars and another dedicated to electric scooters.

Shipping is free if you use standard delivery. DHL and TNT are also available.

9.  RCMoment

RCMoment has a very specific focus–remote-controlled devices. You’ll find gadgets like drones, cars, boats, planes, and robots.

Some products qualify for free shipping. If you want the fastest shipping, head to the US Warehouse section of the sites to see which products are already held on American soil.

10.  DealExtreme

The last Chinese online shopping website on our list is DealExtreme. The site is up there with AliExpress in terms of popularity. It’s been in operation since 2006 and ships its products straight from its Hong Kong warehouse.

Almost all the products are electronic. The breadth of products is impressive; you’ll find everything from glucose monitors to tattoo guns. The site also sells lots of branded products. There are devices from SanDisk, Lenovo, Sony, Asus and more.

DealExtreme offers free worldwide shipping on all its items. You can ship express with couriers for an added fee.

Top 10 Chinese Websites You'll Want to Visit

Every country has its own favorite websites, but it seems like certain global titans are big everywhere – you’ve got your Googles, YouTubes, Spotify’s, Reddits, Wikipedias, etc. Except, that is, in China.

For a variety of reasons, the Chinese web functions almost like an intranet. You’ve probably read about some of the foreign sites that are blocked here, but you may not know about the hugely popular Chinese sites and services that are essentially unheard of elsewhere.

Today we’ll take a look at the most popular sites, whose user bases often dwarf their more famous Western counterparts, and even the efforts of certain services (namely Weixin) to expand internationally.

Baidu is China’s most popular search engine and has made a serious effort to basically become the Chinese-language version of Google. They’ve got their own map system, image search, news service and even "bǎi dù bǎi kē (百度百科)", an online encyclopedia that’s China’s closest equivalent to Wikipedia.

Though they generally tend to copy Google and aren’t always the most innovative company around (see the “ Baidu Eye” headset that came out soon after Google Glass was released), lately they’ve developed a nice string of hardware products, including a cool, affordable WiFi controlled camera that stores video in the cloud.

Dianping is sort of like the Yelp of China, but a lot more useful and multi-functional.

Basically it’s a much more evolved Yelp, and one of the most innovative Chinese web services out there. Everyone uses Dianping; group chat discussions of where to eat are a never-ending stream of Dianping links or screenshots.

Their app is very well-designed, as well, and it’s something I hope makes its way to the States soon!

Sina, known in Chinese as 新浪 (lit. “ new wave ”) is kind of an all-purpose Chinese internet platform and company, perhaps best known for its once-ubiquitous Weibo microblogging platform.

Sina is sort of like a Chinese Yahoo!, if I had to make a comparison, because of the wide variety of functions it serves: news, blogging, email, etc.

It’s about as mainstream as it gets on the Chinese web, and they’ve done a great job catering to overseas Chinese with relevant Chinese-language content, developing dedicated sites for North America and Europe.

Sina is also a great resource for reading practice if you’re at that level. Their NBA section , for instance, has some strong writers and has provided me hours upon hours of not-so-boring character study time.

Sometimes you’ve just gotta love when China goes ahead and copies something so directly that it’s just hilarious.

That’s basically the idea behind YouKu, whose name was chosen because of its pinyin resemblance to YouTube (it literally means “excellent and cool”, but sounds a bit awkward by my reckoning).

It serves a similar purpose as a full-service video platform, but also has cool stuff like authorized streaming versions of US shows with Chinese subtitles, which is actually a really interesting way to learn Chinese because you see direct Chinese translations of natural English phrases (instead of the other way around).

Jingdong is a bit like the Amazon of China, with a focus on electronics but a gradually growing selection of other products as well. 

Like a lot of Chinese e-commerce sites, their hallmark has always been a superbly streamlined purchasing process: usually, you can order a product in 3-4 clicks, and while you can use the ubiquitous AliPay payment system, you can just as easily pay cash to the delivery guy upon receipt of the product. 

It’s so easy that it’s hard not to buy the occasional extra USB flash drive or space heater – which is exactly what they want!

When I was working in an office full-time and found that I needed something small (extra phone charger, new mouse, or even some new socks), it was preposterously easy to hop on jd.com and order it. Most of the time I would literally forget about it until it arrived a day or two later, but I’d just pay the guy in cash.

Often described at the eBay of China, Taobao is actually something much more: a cultural phenomenon. The sheer variety of stuff available is absolutely unbelievable, and it has made life in urban China much more convenient. 

Let’s look at it this way first: Taobao and its sister site Tmall (which is basically the same thing but limited to more established sellers and brands) oversaw  US$272 billion in transactions  in fiscal 2014 – that’s larger than the GDP of the Philippines, Finland or even Hong Kong.

More to the point, Taobao has enabled China to leapfrog the West in many ways and become a global e-commerce leader. 

I know tons of people, for instance, that don’t even go grocery shopping anymore. They order all their food on Taobao every day and it’s waiting outside their apartments before they get home from work. 

In recent years the amount of imported food on Taobao has exploded, as well, and you can get goodies like cheese, South American coffee and even hard-to-find spices there. 

In short it’s kind of the best thing ever, and they do a great job making the purchasing experience easy if you have AliPay.

7. CTrip (携 程,   xié chéng) - China’s Best Travel Site

It may not be wildly innovative, but CTrip (literally “to go the distance,” with a bit of poetic license on my part) is a well-made, useful and reliable travel website, quite an accomplishment for a homegrown Chinese site.

Best of all, it has a top-shelf English version (as well as German, French, Vietnamese and Russian localizations, among others) that usually has the same prices as its Chinese counterpart, another rarity here in China.

Their mailing list is a great way to find out about random last minute ridiculously cheap deals to domestic destinations, and with air travel becoming increasingly popular and affordable within China, CTrip is a must-have travel resource if you’ve had enough of the super-authentic-but-I’m-kinda-over-it long haul train thing.

"fèng huáng (凤凰)", known by its web address iFeng or in English as Phoenix Television, is a Hong Kong-based group of television stations that maintains an increasingly popular website targeted primarily at the Mainland.

A general news site for the most part, iFeng has made inroads in China by sharing occasionally controversial news and insights that its Mainland counterparts are often unwilling to, all without drawing too much attention or scorn from the authorities.

iFeng has also developed a nice mobile app and is becoming something of a new media empire, definitely one to look out for in the future

A Chinese, and way less sketchy version of Craigslist, TongCheng (meaning “same city” in Chinese) is a well-designed tool for connecting people living in the same city.

Its relatively simple, clean design is a rarity among Chinese sites, and it's remarkably easy to use – I bought my bike and my current go-to electric guitar on there, and for people with limited Chinese reading skills, it doesn’t take much time or effort to find what you need and get the contact details of the person who has it.

It’s also an important resource for small businesses in rural China who may not have the resources or funds to set up their own site.

Seems simple enough, but Wall Street sees a lot of potential: Last October TongCheng’s IPO on the NYSE went for over US$150 million, surprising a lot of investors and giving the company some resources to grow with.  

It remains to be seen what the site can do to continue turning a profit, but I can attest to its usefulness. It’s really the best place if you need something cheap and don’t mind second-hand stuff, though I maintain that, in Shanghai at least, the best way to get something for really cheap is from bitter expats having moving-away sales on Craigslist!

10. WeChat (微信, wēi xìn )

WeChat aka WeiXin is basically the mac-daddy of all Chinese-built web services.

It’s an app that often gets called the Chinese WhatsApp, but over the last 2-3 years it has completely changed the everyday experience of life in China – I’m not exaggerating.

At its core, WeChat is a messaging platform, but it also offers voice messages, voice/video calls, and a Facebook-like social networking service. It has basically made phone calls, text messages and other social networks obsolete.

Everyone and everything is on WeChat, and it’s now the center of every Chinese company’s social media marketing strategy as well. You can do your online shopping, your banking, your cloud storage and even finding new friends via their crazy radar feature , which lets you find users in your vicinity.

WeChat is attempting to eat the functionality of every other app or web service, and they’re succeeding.

It’s fed in part by the preponderance of super-cheap smartphones (we’re talking ~US$40 for a phone running a bootleg version of Android OS) and the increasing availability of cheap data plans. Even migrant worker can afford to buy a cheap handset, download WeChat and chat away to their hearts content. It’s so ubiquitous that when I go back to the States it takes me some time to adjust to the fact that people actually send text messages there.

Because it was able to obtain prices that were relatively low for the products on the market, the majority of Chinese use 1688.com to find goods. Over 50,000 reputable sellers can be found on 1688.com at the moment. You can always find what you're looking for on the website.

A sophisticated user interface is the only thing that needs improvement. The maneuverability is rather difficult, which discourages a lot of potential buyers. It might even surpass the quality of its parent firm Alibaba.com if the limited language options are fixed.

CJ Sourcing for wholesaling and direct delivery

Yiwu Cu Jia Trade Co. Wholesale and drop-shipping , often known as CJ Sourcing, is another well-known Chinese e-commerce website .

CJ does not restrict its products to wholesale , which is where it is increasingly gaining an advantage over other platforms. As a distinctive drop-shipping option, CJ also enables sellers to offer products in their online stores .

Drop-shipping is the practice of displaying products from a variety of vendors on a website or platform without maintaining a stock of them. CJ wants to do this by giving users a variety of goods to sell. They do not need to open additional websites to find the various things they require.

CJ is steadily solidifying its place as one of the top e-commerce platforms in China because of its excellent after-sales care. Furthermore, they provide warehousing services .

“Made in China” is one of the biggest Chinese marketplaces

It is one of the oldest Chinese retail platforms , bringing together Chinese vendors and customers from around the globe . Made in China is a marketplace like the previously stated websites. Its headquarters are in Jiangsu , China, and it was founded in 1998.

Made In China is gradually solidifying its place as one of the greatest e-commerce platforms in China because of its exceptional after-sales care. Furthermore, they provide warehousing services.

Moreover, payments are only made to vendors after the consumer certifies that the goods arrived on time and in good condition. As part of its secure trading services , Made In China additionally provides inspection services .

This implies that you can pay outside testers to evaluate the things that are offered on the internet.
