Sourcing partner · China
We find the factory, get the price down in Mandarin, and stay on the order until it ships — so you can buy from China without a local team, or a 12-hour flight.
What we do
Most of the work happens before anything is made: finding the right factory, getting comparable prices, agreeing terms you can enforce. Production follow-up and the pre-shipment check are part of that job — not a separate product.
You know the product and the target cost. We find the factories that can actually make it, get comparable quotes, and negotiate the terms in Mandarin.
Once the order is placed, someone has to chase it. We hold the production schedule, keep the factory answering, and check the goods before the balance is paid.
Already have a supplier? A factory audit or a single pre-shipment inspection can be booked on its own — same checklist, same report.

Why work with us
Site visits, Mandarin calls, the awkward conversation about the deposit — we handle it. You approve from your desk, in your timezone.
Price, MOQ, lead time, the reason a date slipped — argued in the factory's own language, then written down for you in English.
Electronics, home goods, apparel and packaging each fail in their own way. We test for the failure modes that actually happen.
Dated photos, video, measurements and a written report for every visit. If it isn't written down, it didn't happen.
Who we work with
If you place orders but can't stand on the factory floor, this is the service you're missing.
Replenishment orders where a bad batch means a listing suspension, not just a refund.
Small runs and new SKUs, where the first production batch defines the product.
Multiple suppliers, mixed containers, and no realistic way to visit them all.
First order from China, no sourcing team, and no appetite for a $30k lesson.
How it works
Product, target price, quantities and destination. A 15-minute call is usually enough to scope it.
Three or four factories that fit your volume, quotes normalised to the same spec, and a recommendation instead of a list.
We negotiate price, MOQ and payment, manage the samples, and hold the production schedule with a written update each week.
Pre-shipment inspection against your specification — photos, a pass or fail, and a corrective action list. Re-inspection is included if the batch fails.
Our commitments
We'd rather write down what we promise than quote clients we haven't earned yet.
The quote you receive is the amount you pay. No hourly surprises, no "extra travel" invoice after the visit.
Our fee is on the quotation — a fixed fee, or a margin inside a price we quote. Either way you see the basis before you commit, and we never take a rebate from a supplier.
Production doesn't go quiet. One short page a week on where the order stands, what has slipped, and what it means for your delivery date.
