1688.com (Alibaba's domestic wholesale platform) hosts thousands of manufacturers selling authentic MONCLER at significantly lower prices than Western retailers. However, international buyers face these hurdles:

• No direct international shipping
• Mandatory CNY payments
• Language barriers
• Varying supplier reputability

Orientdig solves these issues by handling communication, payments, consolidation, quality inspection, and global shipping through their Shenzhen warehouse.
