With the rising popularity of streetwear brands like Kangol, many international buyers are looking for cost-effective ways to purchase these items directly from Chinese wholesale markets. Allchinabuy, a professional China-based purchasing agent, provides a convenient solution for buying Kangol products from 1688.com
Why Use Allchinabuy for 1688 Purchases?
Unlike mainstream e-commerce platforms, 1688 primarily serves wholesale buyers and requires a verified Chinese payment method, which can be a barrier for international shoppers. Allchinabuy bridges this gap by offering:
- Direct bulk purchasing at wholesale prices
- Convenient international payment options (PayPal, credit cards, etc.)
- Consolidation and quality inspection services
- Fast shipping through partnered logistics providers
Step-by-Step Guide to Buying Kangol via Allchinabuy
Before placing your order, we recommend reviewing this product spreadsheet
1. Product Selection
Use 1688’s search function or browse the linked spreadsheet to identify your desired Kangol items (bucket hats, bags, etc.). Copy the product URL or note the specifications (color, size, MOQ). Be sure to check seller ratings and transaction history.
2. Submit Your Order through Allchinabuy
On Allchinabuy’s website, paste the 1688 product link into their order form. Specify quantity and customization requests. Their system will automatically calculate:

- Optional service fees (quality check, repackaging, etc.)
3. Payment and Processing
After confirming the quotation, complete payment via your preferred method. Allchinabuy specialists will purchase the items within 24 hours. For Kangol products, processing typically takes 2-4 days as sellers prepare bulk shipments.

Pro Tips for First-Time Buyers
- Verify Seller Authenticity: Cross-reference 1688 stores with the latest verified sellers from the community spreadsheet.
- Start Small: Even with MOQs, test quality first (e.g., initial order of 5 units instead of 50).
- Inquire About Seasonality: Kangol wool hats have limited production runs; ask Allchinabuy about restock alerts.
