I'm sourcing for the first time
Product sourcing from China
We turn your product idea into a factory-ready brief, find and audit matching manufacturers in China, and manage samples, negotiation and contracts until your first container is on the way. You get comparable real quotes from verified factories instead of marketplace promises.
What's included
- Product brief and target costing
- Factory shortlist with audit reports
- Sample rounds managed end to end
How do you find the right factory?
We start from your specification, not from a search box. Our sourcing staff in Guangzhou, Yiwu, Zhili and Shishi shortlist candidate factories, visit them in person, audit production capability and export history, and bring you a comparison of verified options with real prices and lead times.
What if I only have an idea, not a specification?
That is the normal starting point. We help you narrow the idea down to specs, materials, packaging and a target landed price — a brief a factory can actually quote. Only then does supplier search begin, so quotes are comparable and honest.
How are samples and negotiation handled?
We manage sample rounds end to end, compare them against the brief, and negotiate price, payment terms and tooling in writing before any order is placed. Nothing goes into production that you have not approved.
Frequently asked questions
How long does sourcing a new product take?
Typically 2–6 weeks from brief to comparable quotes, plus sample rounds. Complex or custom products take longer; standard products can move faster.
Do you work with small first orders?
Yes. Part of the sourcing work is matching you with factories whose minimum order quantity fits your order size, or negotiating a smaller trial order.
Do I know which factory makes my product?
Yes — full transparency. You see the audited factories, their quotes and the contract. We are your team, not a reseller hiding the source.
