Product sourcing · Shenzhen
Supplier finding, verification and follow-through
You already know what you want. You need someone in Shenzhen who can find the right factory, check whether it's real, negotiate properly, and make sure the goods actually match the sample.
Scope
What sourcing service includes
- Keyword search and supplier shortlisting (3–5 candidates)
- Factory verification: address, production line, capacity, export licence
- Written quotation collected and normalised for comparison
- MOQ and unit-price negotiation
- Sample ordering, tracking and quality feedback
- Pre-shipment inspection with photo report
- Production progress updates at each milestone
Not included
- Duties, import VAT and freight — quoted separately, never hidden
- Product certification costs (CE, FCC, FDA…) unless agreed in writing
- Design fees beyond what the factory charges
- Marketing, listing creation and ad spend
- Guarantees on factory behaviour after the balance payment
Process
Six steps, and you see all of them
-
You send the brief
Product, target price, quantity, destination market. A photo or a link to a competitor is worth a thousand words.
-
I shortlist 3–5 factories
Checked for: real production capacity, export history, tooling ability, and whether the price they quoted is achievable.
-
You get a normalised quote
Same line items across every factory — unit price, MOQ, lead time, tooling cost, packaging, payment terms. So the comparison is real.
-
Samples
Ordered, tracked and inspected before mass production. Sample cost is credited against the order where the factory allows it.
-
Production and inspection
Photo updates during production, then a pre-shipment inspection before the balance payment is released.
-
Shipping
Consolidation, carton marking and freight quotes from your forwarder or mine. Your choice of forwarder is respected.
