This article compares Alibaba vs. Hengoseal factory-direct orders based on real buyer data.
What is the real cost difference between Alibaba and factory-direct orders?
Many believe Alibaba offers the cheapest prices. But when considering total costs, factory-direct often wins.
| Cost Item | Alibaba Suppliers | Hengoseal Factory Direct |
|---|---|---|
| Birim Fiyat | $1.00 (bulk) | $0.85–$0.95 |
| Platform Fees | 3–8% hidden | 0% |
| MOQ | 1,000 pcs typical | As low as 50 pcs |
| Sample Cost | $100–$300 | Often free or low-cost |
| Lead Time | 15–30 days | 7–15 days for most models |
| Support | Generic CS | Dedicated engineer team |
Case Example (2025):
