How it works

Your China purchase, step by step

At every step you know where your goods are and what you pay, and you approve before each payment.

  1. Your request

    You describe the product, quantities, budget and destination, through the form or on WhatsApp.

  2. Your quote

    We compare several suppliers and send you a complete quote: product, shipping, our fee.

  3. Sample and approval

    If needed, you receive a sample. You approve the sample and the terms: the order goes ahead.

  4. Monitored production

    We follow production. The goods are inspected before departure, with photos and videos.

  5. Delivery

    The goods are shipped by the agreed mode and tracked all the way to you.

What you approve

Nothing moves without your agreement.

  • The quoteThe chosen supplier, price, lead times, shipping and our fee.
  • The sampleBefore mass production, when the product calls for it.
  • The inspectionBefore shipping and before the balance is paid to the supplier.
  • Each paymentThe supplier is paid in stages, after your approvals.

What you pay, and when

We earn when your purchase goes ahead. And everything you pay is on the quote, line by line, before you agree.

  • Commission

    Only on an order actually placed

    It covers our intermediation and the management of your order: verification, negotiation, supplier payment, coordination through to delivery. The amount is on the quote, before you commit.

  • Sourcing fees

    Depending on the project, accepted before the search

    For some requests, they cover the search, the needs analysis and the supplier comparison. They are always announced, and accepted by you, before the search starts.

  • Additional services

    Only when needed or requested

    Samples, inspection, customisation, special logistics requests: priced separately on the quote.

  • Shipping

    Itemised on the quote

    The cost of transport to your destination, depending on the mode chosen: air, sea or consolidated.

Before you order, you see the landed cost at your door, item by item. You compare it with your current price, and you decide.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really cheaper than buying locally?

Often, but not always: it depends on the product, the quantities, shipping and the destination. Your quote shows the landed cost at your door, shipping included, so you can compare it with your current price before deciding. If the deal doesn't make sense for you, we tell you.

From what quantity does it pay off?

There's no single threshold: the higher the volumes, the more buying at the source pays off, and consolidated shipping helps with small orders. Describe your need and we'll tell you what's realistic for your product.

What do I pay if I don't order?

Our commission is only due on an order that is actually placed. For some projects, sourcing fees cover the search and the supplier comparison: they are always announced, and accepted by you, before the search begins.

Can I order small quantities?

Yes, depending on the product. Some Chinese suppliers accept small minimum order quantities. Your quote tells you what's realistic for your product.

How long does it take to receive my goods?

It depends on production time and the shipping mode. By air, transport takes days; by sea, weeks. You get a precise estimate with your quote.

How do I pay?

You pay us with a method suited to your country, stated on the quote. We take care of paying the supplier in China, in stages, after your approvals.

What if the goods don't match what was agreed?

That's exactly what the pre-shipment inspection is for: defects are spotted in China, before departure, while the supplier can still fix them.

Can I hand over just one step?

Yes. If you already have a supplier and only want it checked, the goods inspected or the shipping arranged, tell us the step that's holding you back.

Do you work with individuals too?

We mainly work with entrepreneurs, retailers and businesses. If your project is personal, describe it anyway: we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

Ready to tell us what you need?

Describe what you're looking for: we'll reply with initial leads and, if the project is feasible, a detailed quote.
