China Sourcing Agent

What exactly does a China sourcing agent do?

We take care of the entire purchasing process, or only the parts you need:

• Supplier sourcing: genuine manufacturers for your product, with prices, minimum order quantities and terms compared side by side.
• Verification: business licence, facilities and production capacity, before you pay anything.
• Samples: we order them, check them and send them to you so you can approve the product.
• Negotiation in Chinese and in writing: price, minimum order quantity, production lead time, packaging, marking and payments.
• Production follow-up, with immediate notice of any delay.
• Pre-shipment quality inspection, with a report, photos and video.
• Protected payments: the balance is only paid if the inspection passes.
• Shipping and customs, right to your company's door.

Who this service is for

• Companies that already import and want fewer quality issues or delays.
• Distributors and online stores that need their own product or white-label goods.
• Entrepreneurs preparing their first import who don't want to put their money at risk.
• Companies that buy from several suppliers and want to bring purchasing and shipping together.

How we work, step by step

A process designed so you never pay blindly:

• 1. You tell us what you need: product, quantity, target price and destination.
• 2. We find and vet suppliers and send you a comparison.
• 3. You request samples from your preferred supplier and we review them with you.
• 4. We agree terms and lead times with the factory in a contract; a 30 % deposit is paid.
• 5. We follow production and keep you informed.
• 6. We inspect the finished order and send you the report.
• 7. The remaining 70 % is only paid once you approve the report.
• 8. We arrange shipping, customs and delivery to your door.

How much does a China sourcing agent cost?

We work on a commission on the order value, agreed before we start, with no hidden costs. It depends on the product, the volume, the number of suppliers and whether you also need inspection and shipping. Quotes are free and with no obligation: you'll know exactly what you'll pay before you buy anything.

Advantages over buying directly on Alibaba

• You know who you're dealing with: we verify the factory before you pay.
• You don't pay the full amount blindly: 70 % is held back until the inspection.
• Better terms: we negotiate in Chinese and know market prices.
• A single point of contact for suppliers, quality, shipping and customs.
• If something goes wrong, we're there to take it up with the factory.
