DAFU SOURCING

On Your Side of the Table in China

Most sourcing agents serve two masters. We serve only you. No kickbacks from factories, no markups on prices — just your interests, defended from factory audit to final delivery.

Sound familiar?

You've probably had one of these happen.

The sample was perfect. The bulk order wasn't.

Nobody checked the 5,000 units in between — and the factory knew nobody would.

“Factory direct” turned out to be a trading company.

You paid a middleman markup for two years without knowing it.

The supplier went quiet right after the deposit.

Silence — until you flew to China. Or paid more to get your own goods released.

The shipment was three weeks late.

You found out when your ads were already running and the listing went out of stock.

Something broke in transit.

The packaging was never drop-tested. Nobody thought to ask.

Your supplier quoted 15% higher this year.

You had no verified second option, so you paid it.

If any of these look familiar, the problem was never the factory. It was that nobody was standing in it — on your side.

What these actually cost:

  • A skipped inspection ≈ a full deposit.
  • A three-week delay ≈ your Q4 ranking.
  • A hidden middleman ≈ 20–40% of every order, every year.

One sourcing partner on the ground costs less than any single line above.

Pricing

Transparent, order-based fees.

We are paid by the buyer — not by the factory.

Our sourcing fee is a percentage of the order value, set by the product, order volume and scope of services — confirmed in writing before work starts.

How we work

A clear process, five steps

See the full process
01

Tell us what you need

Send your product idea, specification or a link to a reference. We clarify details and requirements together.

02

Find suitable suppliers

We search the market, shortlist manufacturers and collect quotations with comparable terms.

03

Verify and compare factories

We check licences, visit the factories and compare real capability — not catalogue promises.

04

Sample, production, quality control

Samples first, then production with follow-up and inspections at the stages that matter.

05

Shipping and delivery

We coordinate freight, documents and consolidation until the goods arrive at your destination.

Why DAFU

On the ground in China, on your side of the table

01

Based in China

Our team works where your products are made. A question to a factory is a same-day visit or call — not a week of emails across time zones.

02

Direct access to manufacturers

We talk to factory owners and production managers directly, in Chinese. You get real answers about capacity, pricing and lead times.

03

English & Russian communication

You discuss your project in the language you think in. We handle the Chinese side — nothing gets lost between you and the factory floor.

04

International business perspective

Based in Beijing, we understand both how Chinese factories work and what international buyers expect.
