Three places sellers get stuck
These issues can delay progress for days or weeks. We diagnose them early and handle the right route.
Supplier claims unchecked
A polished supplier profile does not verify manufacturing capacity. Check business records, samples and inspection options before placing an order.
Loose product specifications
An approved sample is not a complete production brief. Record materials, dimensions, packaging and quality checks in the purchase specification.
Landed costs left out
A low unit price can hide expensive freight, prep and import costs. Compare quotes on the same quantities, specifications and delivery terms.

A four-step process, no surprises
Our service-specific process, from reviewing the scope to delivery and follow-up. The steps below describe the work for product sourcing from china.
Supplier Search
We find 5 to 10 qualified suppliers for your product on Alibaba, Made-in-China, and through our existing contacts. We filter immediately for factories over trading companies.
Verification & Sampling
We request samples from shortlisted suppliers and review factory certification documents. We check business licenses and previous export records where available.
Negotiation
We negotiate price, MOQ, packaging specifications, and payment terms. We secure 30% upfront, 70% on shipment as standard. Some suppliers need adjustment on this.
QC & Shipping
We arrange quality inspection before goods leave the factory. Then coordinate sea or air freight to your destination, FBA warehouse, or 3PL.
Results we've delivered
We have seen every sourcing problem. Suppliers who pass sample stage then ship different quality at scale. Wrong materials. Wrong packaging dimensions that fail Amazon measurements. We write purchase orders that protect you and specify every detail. We also coordinate with third-party inspection services before anything ships.

Before you ask
You cannot fully guarantee it but you can reduce the risk. We write detailed product specifications into the purchase agreement and arrange third-party inspection every time, not just for the first order. Inspection companies like QIMA catch defects before goods ship.
It varies widely. Simple items like phone cases or basic kitchen tools often have MOQs of 100 to 500 units. More complex products or branded packaging usually start at 500 to 1,000. We always push for lower MOQs on first orders so you test before committing.
Yes. We have contacts in India and Vietnam for specific product categories, particularly textiles and some electronics. China is still cheapest for most categories but we compare all options.
