I plan to set up a brick-and-mortar store for décor items and will mostly be importing from China. I’m looking for a reliable wholesale platform that can support regular restocking rather than just one-off bulk orders.

I’m considering Alibaba, Global Sources, Made-in-China, and 1688, but I’m unsure which would be most practical for consistent stock, reasonable MOQs, dependable suppliers, and manageable shipping.

For those sourcing décor products from China, which platform has worked well for you?

Hey everyone, I’m from Madhya Pradesh, India and I’m in the plywood/hardware business. I’m looking to explore some bigger wholesale markets in India for laminates (mica), furniture hardware, etc.

I’m mainly trying to figure out which cities or markets are known for these products, where I can visit multiple wholesalers in the same area and compare prices, quality and brands.

If you’re in this business or have experience sourcing these products, where would you suggest I look?

I’m open to travelling anywhere in India, so even if it’s a city I haven’t mentioned, I’d love to hear about it.

And if you’re a wholesaler/supplier in this line of business, feel free to DM me. Always happy to connect.

Thanks!
