How we work

Five steps from idea to delivery

Sourcing from China works when each step is verified before the next one begins. Here's how a project moves with us — and what you receive at every stage. Because you need a sourcing process, not just a contact list.

01

Tell us what you need

Everything starts with your product. Send us a specification, photos, a sample or even a marketplace link — together we define materials, target price, quantities and quality requirements. The clearer the brief, the sharper the search.

  • Clarified product brief
  • Sourcing plan and timeline
You receive: a clarified product brief and a sourcing plan.
02

Find suitable suppliers

We search well beyond B2B platforms — industrial clusters, trade shows and our internal factory database. 10+ potential manufacturers are screened down to a shortlist that genuinely makes your product, and every candidate is quoted on the same specification, so prices can actually be compared. We compare candidates on product fit, MOQ, sample quality, customization ability, packaging support and communication — then recommend the most suitable option for your project and explain why.

  • Sourcing report: min. 5 qualified manufacturers with background analysis
  • Quotations on one shared spec — MOQ, lead times, pricing compared side by side
  • Suppliers compared on product fit, samples, customization, packaging, communication
  • Recommended supplier with the reasoning behind the choice
  • Landed quote: FOB cost, freight, import & local charges, duty and tax
You receive: a sourcing report, a supplier comparison and a full landed-cost breakdown.
03

Verify and compare factories

This is where most sourcing mistakes are prevented. We check business licences, visit the factories, look at production lines and talk to management. Then we negotiate on your behalf — payment terms, deposit, lead times, unit price, MOQ — so you commit only to terms you have seen.

  • Factory audit report: production line evaluation with photos
  • Negotiations: payment terms, deposit, lead times, unit price, MOQ
You receive: factory audit reports and negotiated terms.
04

Sample, production and quality control

Samples are developed and approved before production begins. Terms are fixed in a legally binding Chinese-language contract with purchase orders, then we follow up with the factory and manage vendor communication and payments. Quality is verified at three checkpoints — mid-production, pre-shipment and container loading — against your approved sample.

  • Legally binding contract in Chinese + purchase orders
  • Sample development: modification rounds until approved
  • Vendor management: communication, payments, order coordination
  • QC: mid-production (MPI), pre-shipment (PSI), container loading check (CLC)
  • Quality assurance report: product quality, assembly, packaging, instructions
You receive: approved samples, production updates and QC reports at three checkpoints.
05

Freight, insurance and delivery

We coordinate freight, consolidate orders if you buy from several factories, prepare export documents and supervise loading. Freight is arranged at cost price — no markups on logistics either. Then we follow the shipment until it reaches your port, warehouse or fulfilment centre.

  • Freight forwarder coordination at cost price
  • Export documents and customs support
You receive: shipping documents, tracking and delivery confirmation.
