Working with China
Imports from China — with the person on the other side
Finding a factory on the platform is straightforward. Understanding whether it is a factory or a middleman, whether they will ship what was shown in the sample, and what to do if they ship the wrong thing — that is the hard part. All of this is resolved by being on the ground, which is why we work through our own representative in China.
supplier verification — $120, factory sourcing for a product — from $150, pre-shipment quality control — from $250 per inspection day; t exact amount confirmed before work begins
We vet the supplier before you wire the prepayment.
When to reach out
What people come to us with
Looking for a factory for a specific product
Not a storefront on a marketplace, but a production facility. The difference shows in the documents and in how they answer technical questions.
Found a supplier yourself? Let us vet them
We check registration, licences, the real production profile and history. The cheapest part of the deal — and the one with the best return.
I’m afraid to pay a deposit upfront
Reasonable. A payment structure and shipment oversight are what separate a transaction from wiring money to strangers.
The wrong item arrived
We work out what can be recovered or recalculated — and structure the next shipment so that inspection happens before dispatch, not after.
Travelling to an exhibition
Canton Fair and industry trade shows. Preparing a list of booths, translator, and escort — otherwise three days disappear wandering through pavilions.

How
How delivery works
Task and search
You describe the product, volume, and target price. We send you a selection of vetted manufacturers with prices and terms.
Review and sample documents
We vet the chosen supplier, order samples, and agree on the specification.
Shipment
Quality control at the factory, purchasing, logistics, and documentation to your warehouse.
Transparent from the start
What we don’t do
- —We don’t work with counterfeit goods or copies of other brands.
- —We don’t promise ’prices like the Chinese’: on volumes below a container, the purchasing difference is smaller than people assume — the real savings come from quality control and logistics.
- —We don’t charge for a supplier we haven’t vetted ourselves.
What comes next
The channel features breakdowns of logistics schemes, prices, and real supply cases. If you already have a task in mind, describe it in the form: what the goods are, the volume, and the timeframe needed.
Describe the product and volume — we will find and vet a supplier
Leave your contact — that’s all we need; we’ll ask the rest ourselves. If you’d like, so we can prepare for the conversation in advance, please specify your request below.
