Service 01

Product Sourcing & Factory Matching

Online marketplaces cover a tiny slice of China's manufacturing base — and the best factories often aren't on them at all. We search the networks we've built over a decade: industrial clusters, trade fairs, customs export records and long-term factory relationships, then match them to your spec, volume and target price.

  • 3–5 matched factories per request — never a single take-it-or-leave-it option
  • Side-by-side quote comparison with itemized cost breakdowns
  • True factory identification — we confirm you're dealing with the actual manufacturer, not a middleman with a markup
  • MOQ negotiation — realistic minimums before you commit
Shortlist: 2–5 days Quotes: 3–7 days

Service 02

Supplier Verification & Factory Audit

Before any deposit moves, we prove the supplier is real, legal and capable. Over a third of "factories" approached by first-time buyers turn out to be trading companies posing as manufacturers — this service makes sure yours isn't one of them.

  • Business license & legal screening — registration, ownership, litigation records
  • On-site factory audit — production lines, machinery, workforce, capacity, photographed and reported
  • Certification review — CE, UL, FDA, RoHS and market-specific compliance checked for validity
  • Written audit report with photos delivered within 5 working days
Desktop check: 24–48h On-site audit: 3–5 days

Service 03

Quality Control & 3-Stage Inspection

The sample that won your order is not the batch that ships — unless someone checks. Our inspectors follow your golden sample and AQL standard through three gates, and you see the evidence before the balance payment is due.

  1. Pre-production inspection

    Raw materials and components verified against spec before mass production starts.

  2. In-line inspection

    Mid-production checks catch drift while it's still fixable — not after the batch is done.

  3. Pre-shipment inspection

    Full AQL sampling with photo & video evidence. You approve before balance is paid — defects get fixed or replaced before shipping.

Service 04

Shipping, Logistics & Amazon FBA

Freight is where hidden costs pile up. We book at negotiated agent rates, consolidate multiple suppliers into one container, and handle the paperwork so goods clear customs without drama — straight to your warehouse or FBA center.

  • Air, express, LCL & FCL compared in your quote — you pick the speed/cost balance
  • Container consolidation from multiple factories — one shipment, one invoice, real savings
  • Customs & compliance documents prepared and checked for your destination market
  • Compliance early-warning — tariffs, anti-dumping duties and export-policy risks flagged before you order, so cargo never gets stranded at customs
  • Certification handling — CE, FDA, RoHS and market-specific approvals arranged on request
  • Direct FBA delivery — labeling, poly-bagging and carton prep done China-side
Air: 5–10 days Sea FCL: 25–40 days Door-to-door DDP available

Service 05

Sampling & Product Development

Great products aren't ordered — they're developed. From your sketch, tech pack or competitor link, we run the sample loop with the factory until the prototype earns your signature, then lock it as the golden sample for production.

  • Tech-pack creation & engineering feedback from factories that actually make the product
  • Sample iteration managed for you — we collect, evaluate and courier samples to your door
  • Packaging & private-label design — boxes, inserts, manuals, barcodes
  • Golden-sample locking — the approved sample becomes the binding QC benchmark
First sample: 5–15 days NDA signed before any file is shared

Service 06

Warehousing & Value-Added Services

China-side storage and finishing at a fraction of Western costs. Goods arrive at your end retail-ready, kitted and photographed — not as loose cartons that still need work.

  • Flexible China-side storage while you accumulate stock across suppliers
  • Assembly, kitting & bundling — multi-packs and gift sets built before shipping
  • Re-packing & labeling — retail labels, FNSKU stickers, compliance marks
  • Product photography — white-background and lifestyle shots for your listings

Service 07 · The SourcChina Shield

Payment Escrow & Contract Protection

The one service no marketplace, agent or inspection lab offers — the layer that makes every other service enforceable. Your money never reaches the factory before the work is proven, and your agreement carries real legal weight inside China.

  • Escrow-protected payments — funds held in a supervised account and released in stages: deposit, pre-production pass, final inspection & loading
  • Formal Chinese purchase contracts signed between us and the supplier — we hold their license, address and bank details, and can sue or freeze assets in their home court if they default
  • Bilingual specification sheets prepared as a contract annex — no more “we understood it differently”
  • Dispute resolution on the ground — we push for repair, replacement or refund first; if negotiation fails, we escalate through Chinese legal channels at local cost, not yours

Service 08 · How we make money

You pay the factory price. We charge one fee, disclosed upfront.

Most agents bury their margin in your unit cost, so a “cheaper” quote often just means a bigger hidden cut. We do the opposite: you see the factory’s real number, and ours is a single agreed percentage on top.

Pricing

Zero markup on goods

We buy at local ex-works rates — the same price a domestic buyer gets. Nothing is added to your unit price. Because we negotiate in Chinese, in person and in volume, your landed cost frequently beats what you could get alone.

Fees

One fixed service fee

A single transparent percentage agreed before you commit, quoted in writing alongside the factory price. No per-email charges, no surprise “handling” line items, no commission from the supplier’s side.

Suppliers

Real factories only

We screen out trading companies posing as manufacturers before you ever see a quote — verified business scope, site photos, equipment and export history. You meet the people who actually make the product.

After-sales

Warranty with teeth

If goods fail inside the warranty window, we keep claiming against the factory on your behalf — however long ago they shipped. Backed by a Chinese contract, the warranty is enforceable rather than decorative.

Language and time-zone gaps handled — one named English-speaking contact.
Production scheduling, inland freight and customs clearance tracked end to end.
Works even if you already have a factory — escrow and inspection only.
