“Is there a Chinese Amazon?”

Yes, it’s Alibaba - one of the largest companies there.
Alibaba has excellent customer service, and let’s you talk and work directly with the merchandise distributor / factory dealer to negotiate and customize orders.
I’ve used them for a few specialty outdoor sports items I could not find in the states.
I’ve had no trouble getting very good prices, free shipping, package tracking, and so far unique quality goods.
Alibaba’s website is a bit clunky in design compared to Amazon.

China does have a version of FedEx, but so far I’ve always chosen free shipping and have used their regular Chinese parcel service. Typically I have to wait 7 to 14 days for an order delivery to the states.
Note: I’d gladly order the products from a USA mfg if they existed here.
There’s some notable innovation happening by domestic Chinese manufacturers.
