CHINA SOURCING SERVICES
China Sourcing Agent for Wholesale Buyers
We find and vet suppliers in manufacturing cities across China, negotiate pricing, and manage orders so you buy wholesale at factory cost without the travel. We work on 1688, Alibaba, and direct factories.
SOURCING AGENT
More than a translator with a spreadsheet
A real sourcing partner controls quality and cost before money moves, not after.
Buy wholesale from China like a local, without the risk
Sourcing from China is easy to start and hard to get right. Low quotes hide weak factories, missing certifications, and quality drift between samples and mass production. We close those gaps with on-the-ground verification in manufacturing cities like Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Yiwu.
From a single product to a full OEM program, you get one team accountable for the result.
What usually goes wrong when you source alone:
- Samples look fine, then mass production comes out different.
- The factory quotes low, then adds fees after you pay the deposit.
- Certifications are “available” but never arrive with the goods.
- No one picks up when a shipment is late or held at customs.

WHY BUYERS STAY
Why choose a sourcing agent over going solo
The savings only count if the goods arrive right, on time, and at the price you accepted.
One team, not three vendors
You deal with us from RFQ to delivery. No separate factory, forwarder, and customs broker handing off and blaming each other.
We check before you pay
Sample and pre-shipment inspection are part of the process, not an extra you forget to book until it is too late.
One quote covers product and freight
DDP means the price you accept includes delivery. The number you see is the number you pay.
FAQ
China sourcing questions
Do you work with small wholesale MOQs?
Yes. We consolidate multiple SKUs and small orders so you can test the market before committing to volume. Many buyers start with a mixed carton.
What platforms do you source from?
We work across 1688, Alibaba, and Taobao, plus direct factories. For the same product we compare platform sellers against manufacturers to find the better price and terms.
How do you verify a factory in a manufacturing city?
We check business licenses, the production site, and past export records. When the order matters, we run an on-site audit in Guangdong or Zhejiang.
Can you handle OEM and private label?
Yes. We manage custom branding and compliant packaging before export. See our private label service.
How are payments handled?
Typically a deposit to start production and a balance against inspection or before shipment. Milestones are agreed up front, so you are not paying in full before you see results.
Do you consolidate orders from multiple factories?
Yes. Goods from different suppliers go to one warehouse, get checked together, then ship as a single DDP shipment. That cuts freight and customs handling.
What does DDP include?
Freight, export and import customs, duties, and last-mile delivery to your door. You receive one invoice and one tracked shipment.
How long does sourcing take?
Sampling usually takes 3 to 7 days. Production time depends on volume and complexity, and we give you a timeline when we quote.
