What if Taobao opens an online shop without its own warehouse?

1, there is only one choice, to be a generation.

Contact the agent to sign a formal logistics contract → select the goods for sale → send the goods to the agent company → log in to the delivery system account → log in to the background to place an order and confirm the delivery → the customer signs for the goods → submit a loan application → get the payment.

Online shop (website) operators do not need inventory, that is, online operators not only save the inventory cost of goods, but also solve the risk of overstock of goods. Commodity prices are more transparent and online transactions are more convenient.

2, the wholesale market purchase:

This is the most common purchase channel. If your shop is for clothing, you can go to some large service wholesale markets around you to purchase goods. Buying goods in the wholesale market requires strong bargaining power and strives to minimize the wholesale price. At the same time, you should establish a good relationship with wholesalers and make it clear to them on the exchange of goods to avoid disputes in the future.

3. Manufacturer's supply:

Regular manufacturers have sufficient supply and good attitude. If you cooperate for a long time, you can generally win the unsalable exchange. But generally speaking, the manufacturer's order quantity is high, which is not suitable for small wholesale customers. If you have enough capital reserves and there is no danger and fear of pressing the goods, then go to the manufacturer to purchase.

4. Large wholesalers:

Usually you can find a lot with Baidu and Google. Generally, it is directly supplied by manufacturers, and the supply is relatively stable. The disadvantage is that because they are bigger and have more orders, the service will inevitably fail to keep up sometimes. And they usually have regular repeat customers, not afraid of no wholesalers.

Expand the data agent's return policy, that is, the return policy when opening a store. If the agent doesn't agree to unconditional exchange, then you can't join Taobao. In addition, whether the agents can bear the return postage for their responsibility.

Because the industry started early and there were few competitors in the same industry, experienced Taobao sellers chose agents as the source of goods, so many overlord clauses were set up-goods with quality problems were returned only to bear the postage for replacement, while the postage returned by buyers was borne by buyers themselves or agents, which greatly reduced the profits of agents. However, many freight forwarders are willing to bear the round-trip postage because of quality, shipping errors and other problems. We should try to choose such a freight forwarder, so that if there is any problem, we can agree to exchange the goods for the buyer without worries.
