Three different kinds of “buyer”
Overseas buyer is not one job title:
- Retail shops — independent pet, home, nail or coffee stores. Small orders, fast decisions.
- Wholesalers — they stock other shops in a region. See find overseas wholesalers.
- Importers — they handle inbound freight and larger POs. See find overseas importers.
If you are unsure which one you are looking at, read retail vs wholesale. The search app UI is currently in Chinese; English guides explain the same workflow.
How to search retail shops
- Write a concrete product term.
- Choose a country and a city you can actually ship to.
- Set the channel to retail and check the public phone and website. Details: finding public phone numbers.
- Save promising shops so you do not re-open the same list.
US overview: find US buyers. Pet sellers can start with Los Angeles pet stores.
Why public phones are enough for round one
Round one only needs two answers: do they sell this category, and who buys. A public number reaches the shop floor. A website shows the range and a contact form. We do not provide private inboxes.
Follow local calling and marketing rules. This page is not legal advice.
Frequently asked questions
Does Chuhai Qiao sell private emails?
No. Results show publicly listed phones and websites. Call first; if nobody picks up, paste an outreach note into the shop’s Contact page.
Should retail, wholesale and import be searched together?
No. They buy differently. Search each channel separately so the first sentence on the call matches the buyer type.
