Most people only know Temu and Shein.
But I know three platforms you can order from at very cheap prices.
They're platforms where Chinese people actually shop on, so things are way cheaper there because you're buying directly from the producers. Even Temu gets its goods from some of these platforms.
Likewise, a lot of "mini importers" in Nigeria use these websites. All those WhatsApp and Facebook vendors you see around, they get their goods from these websites at very low prices, then they inflate the prices when they want to resell.
I'll mention them below and share their links in the comments section.
1.▫️1688
Best for clothes, shoes, bags, phone accessories, electronics, home appliances, and just about anything in bulk.
They offer wholesale prices, but you may need to make bulk orders (10 to 100+ units). It's best for people who want to resell. The language on this website is Chinese, so you'll have to translate it. The video below explains how.
2.▫️Taobao
Best for fashion, jewelry, home decor, gadgets, and niche items you can't easily find elsewhere.
They sell single items easily, have a huge variety, and even better quality than what gets imported to Temu. It's good for both individuals and resellers.
3.▫️Pinduoduo
Best for everyday items, kitchenware, phone accessories, small gadgets, and household basics.
This is similar to Taobao, and often even cheaper. It's a great place for everyday buys.
NOTE, though:
Also, none of these websites ship internationally. You'll need a shipping agent to receive your order in China and forward it to you. It's also best to order in bulk.
Some of the agents include:
- Superbuy
- CSSBuy
To use a shipping agent:
1. Create an agent account on any of the agent website I'll share in the comments.
2. Paste the product link from 1688, Taobao, or PDD into their search bar.
2. The agent buys it and receives it at their warehouse.
3. You pay a service fee, then shipping once it arrives.
3. Agent ships to you, sometimes combining items to save cost.
Just make sure to always read the descriptions. Sort by best-selling, read reviews and check the photos shared by reviewers instead of relying on product pictures.
I'm sure you learnt something.
Stay sharp! 🪒
Ehennnnnnnnnn
Perfect time for me to say something that has been on my mind for some time now
Your wife is Mrs Blaze though because she married you and she has taken your name most likely
Your wife is also that first class graduate and all the amazing thing you wrote about her
To be called Mrs Blaze does not invalidate her other achievements
This thing makes it seem like Mrs Blaze is a derogatory term or it’s less
She is everything all at once
Ok let me drop her and use myself
My name is still Deborah Ocheido because I am still my father’s daughter
That has not changed because I’m married
I will always be my father’s daughter
But I am Mrs Onafowokan too
I am an author
I am a marketing specialist with honours
I am a mother
If you call me Deborah Ocheido, you’re correct
If you call me mummy William you’re correct
If you call me Mrs Onafowokan you’re still correct
These are all dimensions of me and non makes me any less. It just depends on the angle you’re seeing me from per time
This thing we do where we try to put women in boxes is weird and I think unknowingly we make it seem like some parts of a woman are more important than the other
And I think it happens because women are the ones who have to shape shift and morph with marriage and family
Marriage does not make a woman less
Calling a woman her husband’s name is not derogatory
She is everything all at once
Phewwww, ok that was heavy. Felt good to let it out.
Blessings.
PS: I get his point though. I think he is addressing people that can’t see a woman beyond who she is as the man’s wife. I get that. And it’s annoying. Just saw this as a perfect example to share my thoughts.
Hello family.🌹
How are you all doing?
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄✨
Kindly share your Bible verse of “Jesus once said.”
I will go first.
Jesus once said,👇
I DON’T agree with him. A man should be happy that you have healthy friendships that fill your life outside of him. If anything, such friendships raise the bar for the quality of man you’ll want to be with. Ladies, your friends aren’t placeholders to be replaced by us men.
Let’s pray:
Heavenly Father, You see me. You see the weight I’ve carried in silence.
You see the nights I’ve wrestled with questions, the mornings I’ve dragged myself forward.
But I refuse to bow to what’s trying to break me.
I refuse to settle for half of what you promised.
Today, I rise with holy defiance.
I defy the fear that says, “Stay small.”
I defy the chains that said, “This is all you’ll ever be.”
I defy the curses spoken over my life.
I demand alignment, let every blessing with my name on it find me.
I demand restoration, let what was stolen return multiplied.
I demand divine intervention, step into places I cannot reach.
God, breathe fire into my bones.
Give me courage when I feel weak.
Give me a strategy when I feel stuck.
Give me rest when the battle feels endless.
I’m not here to play safe.
I’m here to live in proof of Your power.
Let my life be a loud declaration: God did this. Amen.
I’ve noticed that a lot of people, married people especially use “my partner” these days when referring to their significant other instead of “husband/wife” or “boyfriend/girlfriend” and i find it weird tbh. It just doesn’t sit right with me.
This quoted tweet is for anyone who might miss the rapture. Bookmark it now so you’ll know what to do when it happens.
The truth is, not everyone will be raptured. So the moment you realize you’ve been left behind, here’s what to do:
