Overview

China Sourcing Agent (Shenzhen-based, China-wide)

We help you source products from China without supplier chaos. We run the process end-to-end: supplier search, structured comparisons, negotiation support, and QC coordination via on-site partners when needed.

  • Supplier shortlist + clear comparison table (price, MOQ, lead time)
  • Negotiation support + sample coordination (you pay suppliers directly)
  • QC / factory inspection coordination with photo/video report (partner network)

Services

1) Supplier Shortlist (3–7 options)

We find suppliers, ask the right questions, and give you a clean shortlist you can act on.

  • Comparison table: price / MOQ / lead time / payment terms
  • Notes: pros/cons and obvious risk flags
  • Recommended next step for each supplier

2) Supplier Screening (light verification)

Practical screening to reduce obvious risk before you send money.

  • Consistency checks across supplier info and quotes
  • Red-flag detection (rush pressure, weird payment requests, too-good pricing)
  • Safer payment term suggestions (staged payments, samples first)

(This is not formal due diligence.)

3) Samples Coordination

We coordinate sample requests and keep the process moving.

Important: you pay sample fees + shipping directly to the supplier (or via your preferred method). We coordinate, track, and push for clarity.

4) Negotiation Support

We help you negotiate the terms that matter.

  • Lower deposits and better lead times
  • Packaging and labeling clarity
  • Shipping terms guidance (basic Incoterms)

5) QC / Factory Inspection (partner network)

If you want on-site checks, we coordinate inspections via partners and deliver the report back to you.

  • Photo/video evidence
  • Defect list + basic pass/fail recommendation (based on your criteria)
  • Clear “ship / rework / hold” suggestion

Travel/region affects timeline and cost.

FAQ

  • Do you work only in one city?

    No. We cover China. On-site inspections depend on partner availability and location.

  • How do you verify suppliers?

    We screen for red flags, consistency, and legitimacy signals before you pay.

  • Can you help with small MOQs?

    Yes, but options are narrower. We'll tell you what is realistic.

  • What's included in a QC inspection report?

    Photos/video, defect list, measurements, and a pass/fail recommendation.

  • Do you handle shipping?

    We can introduce logistics partners, but we focus on sourcing and QC coordination.

  • How do I start?
