China Factory

Alright, let's talk about China Factory over on Weidian. It's a bigger seller with 407 live listings, mostly focused on Tops, but the items people are saving right now are Cargo Shorts and a listing called 'Maya' — kind of a nice reminder that the catalog stretches beyond one category. I also see 0 products marked with defects, which is a good look if you're worried about getting a damaged piece.

Now the part that actually matters when you're using a proxy: dispatch time. Weidian shows China Factory's store dispatch SLA at 48 hours or more, so once you pay, expect it to take a couple of full days before the seller even drops the parcel off to the local carrier. That's domestic time to your Chinese agent's warehouse, not international shipping to your door. If you're combining this order with other stuff in one haul, this seller will likely be the last to check in.

Return rate sits in the 10%-15% range. That's not a disaster, but it's enough to make me say: don't go all-in without asking for extra photos or measurements. A few buyers have likely gotten something that didn't live up to the page. On the flip side, no defect records and a solid favorites list tell me the store isn't a total gamble. Just factor in slower dispatch and you'll be fine.
