FAQ

CheapALot is a Yiwu, China-based B2B wholesale and sourcing company with 20+ years of export experience. We supply wholesale clearance stock and overstock from £0.10 per unit, act as your Yiwu purchasing agent, help businesses sell excess inventory, and handle export logistics to 30+ countries.

A Yiwu sourcing agent acts as your local buyer in China. CheapALot finds suppliers inside the world's largest wholesale market, verifies factories, negotiates prices, arranges samples, performs pre-shipment quality control, and follows up production — so you can source any product without travelling to China.

CheapALot is a Yiwu-based trading and sourcing company, not a single factory. This is an advantage: we are neutral and source from thousands of verified factories across China to get you the best price and the right product, rather than pushing one factory's catalog.

For clearance stock, the minimum order is £250 with no minimum quantity per product line — you can mix and match across categories. For sourcing-agent orders, the MOQ depends on the factory; we always confirm the exact MOQ in your quote before you commit.

CheapALot is a trade-to-trade (B2B) only platform. You need a registered business to purchase. Registration is free and instant, and gives you access to wholesale pricing and the sourcing-agent service.

These are surplus goods sold far below retail: clearance stock (end-of-line and discontinued items), overstock (excess inventory a factory needs to offload), and tail goods (customer returns, mixed lots and salvage). CheapALot buys these in bulk and resells from as little as £0.10 per unit — ideal for discount stores and resellers.

The process is simple: (1) send an inquiry via WhatsApp or the contact form with the products you want; (2) receive a quote with price, MOQ and lead time; (3) pay a deposit to confirm; (4) we handle QC and production where needed; (5) pay the balance before shipment; (6) we dispatch and send tracking. For stock items dispatch is within 24–72 hours.

We accept T/T bank transfer and major wire methods. Standard terms are a deposit to confirm the order and the balance paid before shipment. For established clients we can discuss tailored arrangements. We never ask for full payment before production is verified.

Yes. For many destinations we offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), meaning we handle freight, import duties and taxes and deliver to your door with no extra charges on arrival. This is popular with UK and EU buyers who want predictable landed costs. Ask us whether DDP is available for your country.

We ship to 30+ countries worldwide, including the United Kingdom, all of Europe, the Middle East and North America. We handle sea freight, air freight, rail and express delivery from China to your destination, plus customs clearance and documentation.

Stock orders are dispatched within 24–72 hours. UK mainland delivery is 1–3 working days, European delivery 3–7 working days, and worldwide delivery depends on the method (express 3–7 days, air 5–10 days, sea 25–45 days). Sourcing-agent orders add factory lead time, which we state in the quote.

Yes. As your sourcing agent we verify suppliers, arrange samples, and perform pre-shipment quality control and quantity checks before you pay the balance. This protects you from defective goods and misrepresentation — a core reason buyers use a Yiwu agent.
