Top6 issues when dropship streetwear from Taobao

Although streetwear dropshipping is profitable, there are also many issues need to be solved if you want to dropship streetwear from Taobao. The following listed the top 6 issues:

The 1st issue is the language. We’ve already mentioned the Chinese keywords used to search the streetwear you may want, more important thing is to communicate with the streetwear seller about the product details like size, material, stock, delivery time, aftersale etc.;

The 2nd issue is payment. Although Alipay allow people overseas to register and activate with mobile phone number, we know lots of clients failed to register and pay via credit card;

The 3rd issue is quality. Streetwear clothing cost is usually higher than general clothing and the material workmanship is also better, however, it doesn’t mean it is 100% flawless especially t shirts hoodies need printing, hot drilling craft which often cause small flaws. Although Taobao offers 7 days free return and exchange policy, when the clients overseas received the goods it’s been 2 weeks or more.

The 4th issue is shipping. There are many forwarder shipping agent on Taobao available, however, mostly of them offer courier service like EMS, DHL, FedEx which is very expensive for shipping;

The 5th issue is stock. Since the streetwear is more personalized clothing, the taobao supplier usually manufacture in small batch which doesnt like general clothing factories produce hundreds of thousands pcs stock per time. Thus when it comes to hot sale season like September to January each year, the clothing often out of stock which need to wait for longer time for supplier to deliver which usually pending orders 2 to 3 weeks.

The 6th issue is the API. Since taobao doesnt offer API to Shopify or any other stores, you cannot import product info from Taobao directly via any plugins but import manually.
