I'm seeking advice on sourcing Tier 1 solar panels from China. I've received a quote of $51 per Jinko panel and now I'm being quoted $2,560 delivered for 50 panels. If anyone has experience with purchasing from China or knows a reliable forwarder who can manage DDP shipping at a reasonable cost, I would greatly appreciate your input!

Just to clarify, the quote of $2,560 is equivalent to about $51 per panel if you break it down, but don’t forget that's just the shipping cost! You’ll need to factor in the panel price separately, which is $51 each.
Before you proceed, it’s good to know where you're shipping to, as the destination can significantly impact shipping costs. Can you share your shipping location?
I'm shipping from China to Dallas, USA.
Honestly, you might want to think twice about using AliBaba for purchases like these. There can be better options when it comes to reliability and customer service.

Exactly, so total costs need to be considered.
