Watch How ZQ Solution Works
A short overview of how sourcing, quality inspection, branding and fulfillment come together for your store.
Two Fulfillment Models
Dropshipping for Individual Orders. Bulk Ship for Multi-SKU Inventory.
ZQ Solution is the customer-facing brand of Hong Kong-registered ZQ Technology Co., Limited and a professional 1688 dropshipping agent. It provides sourcing, quality inspection, repacking, order fulfillment, multi-supplier consolidation, freight preparation, overseas warehousing and 3PL services for cross-border e-commerce sellers.
Dropshipping
ZQ sources from 1688, receives and inspects products, repacks each order and fulfills individual customer shipments through the ZQ Dropshipping system.
Bulk Ship
ZQ receives products from multiple suppliers, combines multiple SKUs and prepares one outbound shipment for small batches, heavy, oversized or irregular cargo, including furniture.
For multi-SKU marketplace sellers and retailers, ZQ Solution manages purchasing, receiving, inspection, labeling, repacking, consolidation, packing data and dispatch preparation through one coordinated fulfillment workflow.
What we do
End-to-End Sourcing, Fulfillment & Freight Services
From sourcing and branding to freight forwarding overseas, we cover every step so you can focus on selling.
China Freight Forwarder & Bulk Ship
Receive multi-supplier, multi-SKU inventory, inspect and label products, consolidate cartons, and prepare small-batch or oversized cargo for outbound shipping.
Product Sourcing
Source any product from 1688, Taobao, Weidian, Alibaba and 40+ China marketplaces at factory-direct prices.
1688 Dropshipping
Dropship straight from 1688 with real-time inventory sync, one-click product import, and our free Chrome extension for fast product research.
Automated Order Fulfillment
Orders flow from your store to fulfillment automatically — no spreadsheets.
Warehousing & 3PL
Pre-stock inventory in our US and EU (Netherlands) warehouses for fast, local-rate delivery — all coordinated through one single point of contact.
Branding & Custom Packaging
Pick your logo, packaging and inserts online — once you're on the Branded Packaging plan, every order ships branded automatically.
Quality Inspection
The fastest, cheapest way to audit a 1688 supplier before you reorder — every item inspected, scored and photo/video-synced to your dashboard.
China Freight Forwarder & Multi-SKU Bulk Ship
The US $800 de minimis exemption is gone, and as of July 1, 2026 the EU has ended its own €150 exemption too — low-value parcels now carry a flat €3 customs duty per item. Both changes make per-order dropshipping costlier and pre-stocking overseas the smarter move: receive small batches from multiple suppliers in our China warehouse, then inspect, label, consolidate and prepare accurate carton data before partner-operated shipping to Amazon FBA, your warehouse or a third-party 3PL.
Bulk Ship also supports heavy, oversized and irregular cargo, including furniture.

How it works
Two Ways We Move Your Products
Order-by-order dropshipping, or pre-stocking overseas with freight forwarding — pick what fits, or use both.
Dropshipping
Source
Find any product on 1688/Taobao or send us a link — we quote factory-direct.
Inspect
Every order passes quality inspection with photo evidence before shipping.
Brand
Add custom packaging, private label or white label to build your brand.
Fulfill
Automated fulfillment ships worldwide with tracking synced to your store.
Freight Forwarding
Source or send
Purchase through ZQ, or ask suppliers you already use to deliver to our China warehouse.
Receive & inspect
We sign in separate deliveries, count units and report quality issues before final packing.
Label & prepare
Approved labels are applied and carton dimensions, weights and SKU quantities are recorded.
Arrange inbound
Partner-operated air or sea freight delivers prepared inventory to FBA, your warehouse or a 3PL.
Why full-chain
ZQ Full-Chain Model vs. Piecing Together Multiple Vendors
Most sellers stitch together a sourcing agent, a QC service, a packaging vendor, a warehouse and a freight forwarder separately. ZQ runs sourcing, purchase, rebranding, inspection, shipping & warehousing, and fulfillment as one connected process.
| Dimension | ZQ Full-Chain Model | Piecing Together Multiple Vendors |
|---|---|---|
| Chain coverage | One relationship covers sourcing, purchase, rebranding, inspection, shipping & warehousing, and fulfillment. | Each link — sourcing, QC, packaging, warehousing, freight — usually comes from a different provider. |
| Product sourcing | Direct access to 40+ China market categories through our sourcing team and 1688 plugin. | A single sourcing agent or platform, limited to whatever categories or suppliers it covers. |
| Purchasing & inventory | We place and manage purchases on your behalf, synced to real-time 1688 stock levels. | You or a separate buying agent place orders manually, with no live stock sync. |
| Quality inspection | Photo-checked inspection is built into the standard workflow before packing. | Often an optional add-on, priced and scheduled separately per shipment. |
| Branding & packaging | Custom packaging and rebranding are handled inside the same process. | Usually needs a separate branding/packaging vendor and extra coordination. |
| Warehousing & fulfillment | US & Netherlands overseas warehousing plus order fulfillment under one system. | Warehouse and fulfillment provider are typically separate from the sourcing side. |
| Store integration | Real-time inventory sync and one-click import into Shopify, WooCommerce, TikTok Shop, and more. | Manual reconciliation across each vendor's own dashboard and export/import steps. |
| Point of contact | One account manager across sourcing, QC, branding, warehousing and fulfillment. | A different contact, SLA and invoice for every vendor in the chain. |
This model may not be the right fit if: you're a mid-to-large seller who already owns inventory and runs your own warehousing and logistics; you're a retailer selling only through local/offline channels with no cross-border sourcing needs; or you only need one single link in the chain — for example just freight forwarding, or just a one-off quality inspection — rather than an ongoing sourcing-to-fulfillment relationship.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ZQ Solution?+
ZQ Solution is the customer-facing brand of Hong Kong-registered ZQ Technology Co., Limited and a professional 1688 dropshipping agent. It provides sourcing, quality inspection, repacking, order fulfillment, multi-supplier consolidation, freight preparation, overseas warehousing and 3PL services for cross-border e-commerce sellers. ZQ Solution supports two fulfillment models. Dropshipping handles individual customer orders. Bulk Ship combines products from multiple suppliers and SKUs into one outbound shipment and supports small-batch, heavy, oversized and irregular cargo, including furniture.
How are ZQ Solution, ZQ Dropshipping and 1688 Dropshipping Pro related?+
ZQ Dropshipping is the dropshipping service and fulfillment system offered under the ZQ Solution brand. 1688 Dropshipping Pro is ZQ Solution's Chrome extension for importing 1688 products and submitting purchasing requests through ZQ's authorized 1688 API workflow.
What is 1688.com, and how is it different from AliExpress?+
1688.com is Alibaba Group's wholesale marketplace for buyers in China — it's the same factory-direct source many AliExpress sellers resell from, just without the markup.
Why source through 1688 instead of AliExpress?+
Prices are typically much lower, since most AliExpress listings are themselves resold from 1688 at a markup. The tradeoff is a Chinese-only interface, which our Chrome extension and sourcing team handle for you.
Which platforms do you integrate with?+
Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy, TikTok Shop, eBay and Shopee, with real-time inventory sync and one-click product import.
Do you offer branded / white-label dropshipping?+
Yes. We provide custom packaging, private label and white-label services so you can sell products under your own brand.
Does ZQ charge storage for standard dropship parcels in China?+
Standard dropship parcels processed through ZQ Solution's China warehouse do not currently incur a storage fee. The warehouse does not support inactive inventory held for more than 180 days.
How is China-warehouse inbound receiving charged?+
ZQ Solution does not publish a fixed per-carton inbound fee for its China warehouse. Inbound work is quoted according to the number of cartons, number of SKUs, weight and whether counting, quality inspection, labeling or other handling is required.
Does the Delft warehouse offer rent-free storage?+
Storage terms depend on the written quotation. ZQ's latest Delft quotation can include one month of rent-free storage for the inventory and start date stated in that quote; inbound handling, order processing, delivery, returns, materials and optional work remain chargeable.
How fast is shipping?+
We partner with USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL and more, with China and overseas warehouses to speed up last-mile delivery to 100+ countries.
Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?+
Many products have no-MOQ options, so you can start dropshipping without holding inventory.
How do I pay for orders?+
ZQ uses a prepaid wallet funded via PayPal or bank transfer, so product and shipping costs are deducted automatically as orders come in.
Do you offer a dedicated account manager?+
Advanced and enterprise merchants get a dedicated account manager for priority sourcing, custom branding and day-to-day advice as you scale.
What if something goes wrong with my order?+
Contact the online support team from your dashboard or email support@zqsolution.com. The applicable process depends on whether the issue concerns a 1688 supplier purchase or an international order fulfilled and shipped through ZQ Solution.
How do marketplace purchase returns differ from ZQ international order after-sales?+
Purchases made through a third-party marketplace follow that marketplace's rules, the product listing, supplier terms and product condition; ZQ Solution does not replace them with a separate procurement return window. On 1688, many eligible products use the warehouse receipt date as the start of a 7-day no-reason return window. Korean and other marketplaces may use different deadlines. Supplier approval and return freight or other costs can still apply. International orders fulfilled and shipped through ZQ Solution have a 30-day after-sales request window from delivery. The available refund, reshipment or other resolution and any related cost depend on responsibility, supporting evidence, product condition and logistics cost. Physical international returns are generally not supported.
When is ZQ Solution customer support available?+
Support coverage depends on the account level: Enterprise accounts receive 24/7 coverage; Advanced accounts have a dedicated service group generally staffed from 08:00 to 24:00 China Standard Time; Basic account requests are handled by the online support team within 24 hours.
How do I find products to sell?+
Send our sourcing team an image or link and we'll track it down, or ask your account manager for trending product recommendations backed by our supply chain data.
Which regions does ZQ operate in?+
North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & North Africa, Australia/Oceania, and select Latin American markets.
Do I need a business license to start dropshipping?+
Most sellers launch and test products as a sole proprietorship first; forming an LLC becomes worthwhile once sales are consistent, mainly for asset protection and payment-gateway access. Check with a local tax professional for your situation — ZQ provides invoices you can use for tax and business verification either way.
How is dropshipping different from affiliate marketing?+
With affiliate marketing you promote someone else's product for a small commission and don't handle customer service. With dropshipping you run your own store and keep the full margin — ZQ handles fulfillment behind the scenes so that margin stays yours.
Is there a subscription fee to use ZQ?+
The Basic account plan is free. Advanced ($29.90/month) adds more stores and a lower 1688 purchase service fee; Enterprise ($299/month) removes the 1688 purchase service fee. These optional account plans are separate from fulfillment charges.
Is there a minimum monthly spend for China fulfillment?+
China fulfillment has no minimum monthly spend. Optional account subscriptions and charges for actual orders or requested services are separate.
What happens automatically after a customer places an order?+
The order syncs to your ZQ dashboard instantly. Once you pay (or set up auto-pay), we purchase, quality-check, pack and ship the item, then push the tracking number back to your store automatically.
Can I source from 1688 without a 1688 account or reading Chinese?+
Yes. Our free 1688 Dropshipping Pro Chrome extension lets you browse, search and import 1688 products in English without ever needing your own 1688 account.
What service fees does ZQ Solution charge?+
1688 purchase service fees are 7% for Basic accounts, 3% for Advanced accounts and 0% for Enterprise accounts. China-warehouse fulfillment handling is US$1 per parcel for up to four products; each additional block of up to four products adds US$1. Branded packing work adds US$0.50 per parcel, while custom bags, cartons, cards, labels and other materials are charged separately. International shipping, product purchasing, China domestic freight, paid quality inspection, special packaging, duties and taxes are not included in the US$1 handling fee.
How is the US$1 China fulfillment handling fee calculated?+
The fee is US$1 per parcel for one to four products, US$2 for five to eight products, US$3 for nine to twelve products, and so on in additional blocks of up to four products.
What does branded packing cost for a China dropship parcel?+
Applying branded packaging costs US$0.50 per parcel. The physical materials—such as a custom bag, carton, card or label—are charged separately, as are any other special packing requirements.
What is excluded from the US$1 China fulfillment handling fee?+
The fee does not include international shipping, the product purchase amount, supplier-to-ZQ domestic China freight, paid QC, special packaging, customs duties or taxes.
Can you ship without Chinese invoices or branding showing?+
Yes — this is sometimes called blind dropshipping. We strip factory invoices, Chinese text and pricing info from packages so customers only see your brand.
What packaging and private-label options do you offer?+
Mailer bags, boxes, thank-you cards, hang tags and custom labels, all with your logo and low minimum order quantities — talk to your account manager for a quote.
Do you support Print-on-Demand (POD)?+
Yes. Send your artwork to your account manager and we handle printing, packing and shipping per order through our POD equipment and supplier network — no inventory required.
How long does order processing and shipping take?+
Processing time depends on the order stage. A supplier-purchased order includes supplier dispatch, China warehouse receiving and quality inspection; stored inventory skips the purchasing stage. The international transit estimate depends on the selected route and destination.
Are there restrictions on what products can be shipped?+
Yes — items like batteries, knives, powders and replica goods need special handling, and some products (e.g. e-cigarettes, liquids, firearms) can't be shipped to certain destinations like the US at all.
Do you offer product photography?+
Yes — basic white-background photos start around $15/product, with bulk discounts for 10+ products.
Can an international order be physically returned to ZQ's China warehouse?+
Physical international returns are generally not supported. An eligible order can still enter the after-sales review process within 30 days of delivery; the available refund, reshipment or other resolution and any related cost depend on responsibility, evidence, product condition and logistics cost.
When can I request after-sales support for an international order?+
International orders fulfilled and shipped through ZQ Solution have a 30-day after-sales request window from delivery. The available refund, reshipment or other resolution and any related cost depend on responsibility, supporting evidence, product condition and logistics cost. Physical international returns are generally not supported.
