Shenzhen Yiyu Ruyan E-commerce Co., Ltd.

If you’re hunting down affordable streetwear basics on 1688, this shop—深圳呓语如烟电子商务有限公司—is one of those mixed-bag finds that’ll keep you on your toes. With nearly 1,000 items (997, to be exact) and a solid 4.6 seller rating, it looks like a goldmine at first glance. But let’s be real: the numbers tell a story, and not all of it is pretty. Here’s the quick and dirty breakdown.

First, the good stuff. The top-saved items are exactly what you’d expect from a Tops-heavy store: the Never Forget L/S and Classic Zip Sweatpants are getting real love. Reviews on the Never Forget L/S are glowing—people are calling it “absolutely amazing,” praising the design and how true it is to the photos. The Classic Zip Sweatpants? Folks are saying the quality and stitching are “pretty good for 9 bucks,” which is a steal if you ask me. The Friends Sweatpants also get a nod for the embroidery and waistband, though there’s a catch—the disk design is only half-stitched, and if you want a baggy fit, you gotta size up. That’s the kind of detail you need to know before you click buy.

Now, the not-so-great. This seller has 7 products with defects flagged, and the recent reviews back that up. One buyer on the Classic Zip Sweatpants had to wait over a month for the seller to ship to the warehouse—and no, that’s not the international leg, that’s just getting it to your agent’s door. The average dispatch time here is 3.4 days, but clearly, that’s not always the case. Another review on the fur hood zip up hoodie says it’s “not bad” but there’s better out there. And let’s talk about that “skibidi” review on the Sweatpants—yeah, it’s light, it’s “okay for the price,” but nobody’s writing home about it.

Here’s the thing: the domestic shipping to your proxy warehouse averages 1.6 days when it actually ships, which is decent. But with a 3.4-day average dispatch time and that one horror story of a month-long wait, you’re gambling a little. The good news? The recent reviews on the main items are mostly positive—three buyers on the Classic Zip Sweatpants all said the same thing: “true to the photos, reliable construction, top quality.” That’s consistency. The bad news? The defect count is real, and the half-finished embroidery on the Friends Sweatpants shows this isn’t a top-tier operation.

So, is it worth it? If you’re after cheap basics and don’t mind a possible QC hiccup, this store’s a solid find. But if you need stuff fast and flawless, maybe look elsewhere. The store’s got good bones—just be ready to size up, double-check your QC pics, and pray the seller actually ships within the week.
