Supplier shortlisting
Tell us the product and the target price. We come back with factories worth talking to, and say which ones we would avoid and why.
Sourcing
Buying from China without opening a buying office
Most sourcing failures are not factory problems — they are translation problems. A spec understood slightly differently, an inspection nobody attended, a carton labelled the way the factory always does it. We sit on the factory side of that gap, and we run the warehouse the goods land in.
Price and terms negotiation
We negotiate in Mandarin, on your numbers, with the factory relationship ours rather than yours to manage from another time zone.
Samples and revisions
Sample rounds handled end to end — collection, comparison against spec, photographs and a written list of what still differs.
Pre-shipment QC
Inspection at the factory or on arrival in Shenzhen: quantity, appearance, function where you specify it, and packaging condition.
Multi-supplier consolidation
Five suppliers, one outbound shipment. Each supplier's goods are received and checked separately, then combined into the shipping unit you want.
Packaging sourcing
Mailer boxes, tissue, stickers, inserts and poly bags sourced and delivered to the warehouse, matched to your pack-out spec.
The advantage of doing both
Sourcing and fulfilment in one company is not a bundle — it is an error-catching mechanism
If your agent sources the goods and somebody else warehouses them, the first company's job ends at the factory gate. Nobody is motivated to find the defect, because the defect becomes the warehouse's problem and then yours.
Here, the same team that placed the order receives the goods. A wrong variant is a phone call to a factory we know, not a claim against a supplier you have never met. And because the goods land in our own facility, the inspection happens under our own roof — 19,689 sq ft of it in Shenzhen.
Where we are honest about limits
We would rather list these up front than have you discover them at the worst possible moment.
Process
From brief to shelf
Brief
Product, target cost, quantity, compliance needs and the date it has to be sellable.
Quote and sample
Factory options with landed cost, then a sample round compared against your spec.
Produce and inspect
Production monitored, inspection before the goods leave the factory or on arrival in Shenzhen.
Stock and ship
Goods received into our facility, listed against your SKUs, and ready to dispatch on the next order.
Do you charge a percentage of the order value?
Sourcing is quoted per project, and we will show you the arrangement before we start. What we do not do is take a hidden cut inside the factory price — that is how sourcing agents quietly become expensive.
Can you work with a factory I already use?
Yes, and it is common. We become the receiving and inspection point rather than the buyer, which is often the cheapest way to get quality control without changing supplier.
What about certification and compliance documents?
We collect what the factory holds and tell you what is missing. The judgement on whether a document satisfies your market's rules stays with you or your compliance adviser.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
For sourcing, it depends on the factory. For fulfilment and storage, there is no minimum at all.
