Last Updated: September 12, 2026
1688Fulfillment is an independent China-based fulfillment service provider serving overseas buyers who purchase products from suppliers in China.
We provide warehouse receiving, storage, inspection, photo and video verification, consolidation, repacking, return or exchange assistance, and international shipping support according to the service arrangements confirmed with our customers.
1. Independent Business
1688Fulfillment operates independently.
We are not owned, operated, controlled, sponsored, endorsed by, or affiliated with 1688.com, Alibaba Group, Alibaba.com, Taobao, Tmall, or any of their parent companies, subsidiaries or affiliated businesses.
The use of the term “1688” in our website name and service descriptions is intended to describe the type of sourcing and fulfillment support we provide to buyers who may purchase goods through 1688.com and other Chinese supplier channels.
It should not be interpreted as indicating an official partnership, authorization, agency relationship or corporate affiliation.
2. We Are Not 1688.com
1688Fulfillment does not operate the 1688.com marketplace.
We do not control:
- 1688 seller accounts
- Product listings
- Platform rules
- Supplier pricing
- Marketplace payments
- Supplier performance
- Platform disputes
- Platform refunds
- Platform account restrictions
Transactions between a buyer and a supplier on 1688.com remain subject to the terms, policies and procedures of 1688.com and the relevant supplier.
3. Our Role
Our role generally begins after, or in connection with, a customer’s sourcing activity in China.
Depending on the confirmed service arrangement, we may assist customers with receiving supplier parcels at a China warehouse, checking quantities or visible product conditions, providing photos or videos, holding goods while additional parcels arrive, consolidating multiple orders, repacking goods, assisting with supplier returns or exchanges, and arranging international shipping.
Our role is therefore best described as a China-side fulfillment and logistics support service.
4. Products From Multiple Sources
Customers are not required to purchase exclusively from 1688.com in order to use our services.
Subject to confirmation and cargo acceptance requirements, goods may come from sources such as 1688 sellers, Alibaba suppliers, Chinese factories, Taobao or Tmall sellers, domestic wholesalers, and other Chinese suppliers.
1688Fulfillment is therefore not limited to one marketplace or sourcing platform.
5. No Authority to Represent Third-Party Platforms
1688Fulfillment has no authority to make representations, guarantees, commitments or decisions on behalf of 1688.com, Alibaba Group or other third-party platforms.
We cannot:
- Modify third-party platform policies
- Guarantee supplier behavior
- Approve marketplace refunds
- Reverse platform transactions
- Control seller accounts
- Guarantee the authenticity or quality of products offered by third-party suppliers
- Act as an official representative of a third-party marketplace
Where we assist with a supplier issue, our role is limited to the fulfillment, communication or warehouse-side assistance agreed with the customer.
6. Supplier Responsibility
Suppliers remain responsible for the products they sell, including product descriptions, specifications, manufacturing, quantity, quality and any commitments made directly to the buyer.
If a product problem is identified while goods are still in China, 1688Fulfillment may assist with photos, videos, communication, returns, exchanges or replacement arrangements.
However, approval of a refund, replacement, return, exchange or compensation remains subject to the supplier’s policies and cooperation.
7. Third-Party Names and Trademarks
Names such as 1688, Alibaba, Alibaba.com, Taobao and Tmall, together with their respective trademarks, logos and brand assets, belong to their respective owners.
Any reference to these names on our website is made only to identify third-party platforms or supplier sources relevant to our fulfillment services.
Unless expressly authorized by the relevant rights holder, such references do not imply sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation or partnership.
8. Website Branding
The name 1688Fulfillment is used to identify our independent fulfillment service.
Visitors should not interpret the name, domain, website design, service descriptions or marketing materials as indicating that this website is an official website of 1688.com or Alibaba Group.
Where appropriate, we display independent-service notices to help avoid confusion.
9. Information About Third-Party Platforms
Information on our website about purchasing from 1688, Alibaba or other Chinese platforms is provided for general informational purposes.
Third-party platforms may change their interfaces, policies, procedures, fees, requirements or services without notice.
For current marketplace rules or account-related questions, customers should refer directly to the relevant third-party platform.
10. No Marketplace Account Management Guarantee
If we provide general guidance to customers purchasing from China, that guidance should not be interpreted as a guarantee that a third-party marketplace will:
- Approve an account
- Accept a payment
- Complete an order
- Accept a dispute
- Issue a refund
- Maintain a particular seller listing
- Continue supporting a particular purchasing method
Third-party marketplace decisions remain outside our control.
11. Fulfillment Services Are Separately Agreed
Use of this website does not automatically create a fulfillment, warehousing or shipping contract.
Specific services, fees, warehouse arrangements, cargo requirements and shipping terms must be separately confirmed with our team.
Where applicable, the customer’s confirmed quotation, invoice, Service Terms, Warehouse Terms, Shipping Terms or other written service arrangement will govern the relevant service.
12. Limitation of Third-Party Responsibility
1688Fulfillment is not responsible for the operation, security, availability, content or policies of independent third-party marketplaces and websites.
We are also not responsible for losses caused solely by decisions or actions of third-party suppliers or marketplaces that are outside the scope of services we have agreed to provide.
This statement does not exclude any responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law.
13. Related Policies
This Independent Service Statement should be read together with our:
Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Service Terms, Warehouse Terms & Storage Policy, Returns & Refund Assistance Policy, Shipping Terms, and Prohibited & Restricted Items Policy.
Where a specific service agreement or confirmed quotation applies, those specific service terms will govern that order.
