Introduction

As Christmas approaches, you must have been infected by the strong Christmas atmosphere in a foreign country! At the same time, you can eat all kinds of foreign delicacies! Apart from the joy, do you miss your relatives, friends, food, and scenery in your hometown? At this time, if you can eat some delicacies from your hometown, will it give you a sense of belonging while being busy? Chinese people living or studying abroad, do you occasionally feel that foreign things are expensive and you are not skilled in using them? At this time, are you wondering if you can purchase some goods from China and send them over? Whether it is Chinese delicacies or Chinese products, you may be thinking about one question: how should I send it? Can it go through customs safely? As the pioneer of Chinese product search tools, CNstorm can help overseas merchants and Chinese people easily purchase and deliver goods from online platforms in mainland China, such as Taobao, JD.com, Alibaba, and Dangdang, making the shopping experience full of infinite possibilities and improving the lives of more overseas merchants and students. If you want to buy products from Chinese platforms such as Taobao, you only need to provide the product link, and we can easily find a large number of Chinese products for you; if your relatives and friends want to send items to you, CNstorm can also help send the package to you.

What can purchasing agents do for you during Christmas?

As we all know, Chinese products have a huge market advantage, which is low cost, in addition to high production capacity and efficiency: production process optimization, coupled with long-term and stable supply chain cooperation, to ensure rapid delivery and demand response; strong manufacturing strength: as a global manufacturing center, China has large-scale production and flexible supply capabilities, which can support product quality and continuous upgrades; solid logistics infrastructure: China's ports, highways, railways and other infrastructure are complete, which can ensure efficient and stable transportation of domestic and foreign goods.

Therefore, if you are an overseas Chinese businessman, before Christmas arrives, you can purchase some Christmas decorations and other Christmas products in China through CNstorm and sell them during the Christmas period, thereby earning objective profits. You do not have to worry about transportation, customs, and other issues. As long as you provide a product link, CNstorm will do its best to ensure the entire process for you. 

If you are an overseas student, then you may use CNstorm's transhipment service more often. Usually, friends and family in China mail you some products made in China. During traditional Chinese festivals, such as Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Qingming Festival, Spring Festival, etc., family and friends mail you some specialties from your hometown that you cannot eat abroad, such as moon cakes, rice dumplings, Greedumplingsng, etc. On the occasion of some foreign festivals such as Christmas, CNstorm can help you transfer some holiday gifts sent to you by domestic friends, or some holiday gifts you send to domestic relatives and friends.
