Cnfans Finds
In recent years, many global consumers have turned to Chinese e-commerce platforms like 1688 (Alibaba's B2B marketplace) to purchase high-quality products at wholesale prices. Among them, premium footwear brands like Cole HaanSugargoo, a professional Chinese shopping agent, becomes invaluable.
Sugargoo specializes in helping international customers access Chinese marketplaces through several unique advantages:
Before purchasing, research sellers carrying authentic Cole Haan products. An excellent resource for product comparisons is the spreadsheet provided here, which lists verified 1688 suppliers with price comparisons and quality ratings.
Register on both platforms:
- Create a Sugargoo account (takes 2 minutes)
- Browse 1688 via Sugargoo's integrated product search
When you find the preferred Cole Haan listing (note: always check seller ratings):
1. Copy the 1688 product link
2. Paste into Sugargoo's "Purchase for Me" service
3. Specify color/size requirements
IMPORTANT: Unlike direct retail sites, 1688 often requires a minimum order quantity (typically 2 pairs per style). Sugargoo can help negotiate single-item purchases for select sellers.
Sugargoo consistently outperforms competitors through:
| Feature | Sugargoo | Typical Agents |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase Fees | Free first purchase | 0%~15% |
| Storage Days | 90 days free | 30 days |
Additionally, their AI-assisted QCs significantly reduce risks of receiving the wrong items.

You may request 30-day warehouse storage to conduct additional third-party verifications before international shipment.
