FAQ

Questions

What does Octopus do?

Octopus B2B gives you one account for buying from China: dropshipping, Make My Brand, product sourcing, MOQ pools, Turnkey Projects, and 3PL warehousing with worldwide shipping. One US dollar wallet and one account manager cover all of them.

Are the factories verified?

Yes. Dropshipping and Make My Brand use only products Octopus lists directly, from verified suppliers, and our sourcing team matches you only with verified factories.

Can I use only one service?

Yes. Use one service or all of them. Your wallet, your account manager and your orders stay in one place either way.

How do MOQ pools work?

A pool lets several buyers share one factory order: each commits the quantity they need, and the money waits in escrow. The order is placed when the pool reaches the factory minimum, and you are refunded if the pool doesn't fill by its deadline.

Where are your warehouses?

Our warehouse is in Shenzhen, China. We deliver worldwide with tracking to the door.

How do I pay?

Top up your US dollar wallet by bank transfer; the bank details and your reference are in your wallet. The money for an order stays in escrow until the goods pass QC and ship. We do not take card payments.

How do I talk to someone?

Message us on WhatsApp at +86 188 2652 7644. Once you have an account, your account manager is your direct contact, and the Octo assistant answers 24/7 and passes you to a human when needed.
