Receive 1688 parcels under one reference

Start with a list of your 1688 sellers, order references and expected cartons. Once receiving is confirmed, give each seller the approved warehouse instructions and ask for the domestic tracking number for every dispatch. A split shipment gets separate parcel rows so that one courier scan cannot close the whole seller order.

The receiving record should show which cartons were matched, which are still expected and which need review. Have the team confirm the address, receiving reference and any special requirements before your sellers send goods.

Review photos while the carton is still traceable

Ask for a photograph of the carton label and an overview of the visible contents. For an issue you already know to check, send a reference image and say what feature must appear in the frame. Keep every photo tied to a carton ID so you can identify the affected parcel if a supplier needs to investigate.

Basic QC covers what can be seen under the agreed scope. Ask for a separate quote if you need every unit counted, a detailed SKU check, a functional test or an independent inspection.

Specify what stays in the box

Tell the team which retail boxes, lot labels and supplier packaging must stay. List any items that need to be separated, such as heavy parts next to breakable goods. If cartons are combined or split, ask for a record showing where the contents of each original carton went.

Approve physical packing work before it starts. The final carton list should include the new carton IDs, contents, gross weight and outside dimensions after packing.

Set a hold deadline before the first delivery

When suppliers dispatch on different dates, record the first arrival and agree when to review the batch. Ask how the storage window applies to your order, what holding costs begin after it, and what happens if a seller misses the deadline. Give written approval for the cartons that may leave and identify any that must stay behind.

Prepare a warehouse receiving request

List the supplier shipments you expect. Use one line per supplier, with its order reference and any domestic tracking number already available.

Common questions

Can I send goods I bought myself on 1688?

Submit your seller list, expected carton count and product types for warehouse-only review. Wait for the team to confirm acceptance and issue receiving instructions before asking sellers to dispatch.

Can orders from several 1688 suppliers arrive on different days?

Yes, when staggered receiving is agreed. Give each dispatch its own tracking row and confirm the storage window and the decision date for late parcels.

Will the warehouse count every item?

Ask for a piece count if it matters. Basic visible checks and full unit counts have different scopes, and the current JTLGO charge sheet lists a separate counting service.

Do storage, unpacking and repacking use the same fee?

These are separate decisions. JTLGO publishes the relevant warehouse charge sheet, and the team confirms the charges and storage terms for the receiving request before work starts.
