Putian Chengxiang Zhiqianhui Trading Company

If you're hunting for chunky dad sneakers or retro runners on 1688, this shop—莆田市城厢区知钱汇贸易商行—might pop up on your radar. It’s a small operation (24 products, all shoes), and honestly, it’s a mixed bag. The seller rating sits at a so-so 4.0, and while they only have one review to their name, that single piece of feedback already tells you a lot about what you’re getting into.

Let me break it down like a real proxy-shopper would. First, the good news: dispatch is quick. We’re talking 0.7 days to get your order out the door, and the average delivery time to a local Chinese agent warehouse is 2.6 days. That means once you pay, the seller ships to your proxy within roughly three days max—domestic transit only, mind you, not the long haul to your doorstep. So if you're used to waiting a week just for a seller to hand off to the warehouse, this place feels like a breeze.

Now, the not-so-great part. The star product is the Gel-Kayano 14, and it’s also the top saved item. But the only recent review on it says this: "theres a crease on the shoes that is acctually angering me but apart from that the shoes is acttualy pretty good." Yikes. A crease right out of the box? That’s the kind of thing that makes you pause. Is it a one-off? Hard to say with only one data point. But if you’re the type who nitpicks over flawless kicks, this is a red flag. The other top favorite is the NB2002R Original New Balance Dad Shoes—wear-resistant, non-slip, original gray, breathable running shoes for women—which sounds solid on paper, but there’s zero review coverage on it, so you’re rolling the dice.

There’s no defect record listed (0 products with defects), which is nice, but that might just mean nobody has filed a claim yet. With a total review count of one, you have to treat this as a low-information seller. The platform is 1688, so you’re dealing with wholesale-oriented sellers who often don’t sweat the customer service niceties. Return rate? Not provided, so no idea. Dispatch timeliness is excellent, but that only gets you so far if the product quality is inconsistent.

Bottom line? If you absolutely want the Gel-Kayano 14 and you’re okay with a possible cosmetic flaw (that crease thing could be a dealbreaker), go ahead and order—but use a shopping agent who can inspect your item before shipping internationally. Don’t expect hand-holding from this seller. They’re fast to ship, slow to care. One review, one complaint, and a neutral rating make this a “buy at your own risk” kind of shop. If you’re after safe, review-backed picks, look elsewhere. If you’re a sneaker gambler, this might be your lane.
