For international shoppers looking to buy high-quality Geox footwear and apparel at wholesale prices, China's 1688 platform offers an excellent opportunity. However, navigating 1688—Alibaba's domestic marketplace—can be challenging due to language barriers, payment restrictions, and logistics. This is where AcBuy, a professional Chinese shopping and forwarding service, becomes invaluable.
