Our Process
Six Steps From Idea to Delivery
We've refined our process over 12 years and hundreds of sourcing projects. Every step is designed to protect your investment and eliminate surprises.
Discovery Call
Discovery Call
We start with a 30-minute call to understand your product, target price point, order volume, and timeline. We ask the questions most importers don't know to ask — so your project is scoped accurately from day one.
- Product specification review
- Target price & margin analysis
- Volume & MOQ planning
- Timeline & deadline mapping
- Risk assessment for your category
Supplier Research
Supplier Research
Our China-based team searches Alibaba, trade shows, industry databases, and our proprietary network to identify 3–5 qualified manufacturers. You receive a detailed comparison with pricing, MOQs, lead times, certifications, and our recommendation.
- Multi-source supplier research
- 3–5 vetted options delivered
- Side-by-side comparison report
- Pricing & MOQ negotiation
- Our recommendation with rationale
Factory Audit
Factory Audit
Before any money changes hands, we visit the shortlisted factory in person. We verify their business license, inspect production lines, assess quality systems, and confirm they can actually deliver what they've promised.
- In-person factory visit
- Business license verification
- Production capacity assessment
- Quality system audit
- Photo & video documentation
- Written audit report within 48 hours
Sample & Approval
Sample & Approval
The factory produces samples to your specifications. We inspect them in China first, then ship to you for final review. We coordinate revisions and re-samples until you're 100% satisfied — before production begins.
- First-article inspection in China
- International sample shipping
- Revision coordination
- Specification sign-off
- Production approval sign-off
Production & Inspection
Production & Inspection
We monitor production milestones and conduct a full pre-shipment inspection when goods are 80–100% complete. Our inspectors follow your exact specifications and AQL standards, delivering a pass/fail report with photos within 24 hours.
- Production milestone monitoring
- Mid-production check-in
- Pre-shipment inspection (AQL)
- Photo & video evidence report
- Pass/fail recommendation
- Defect resolution coordination
Shipping & Delivery
Shipping & Delivery
Once goods pass inspection, we handle everything from factory gate to your door. Sea freight, air freight, customs clearance, duties calculation, and final-mile delivery — all coordinated by our logistics team.
- Freight booking (sea or air)
- Customs documentation preparation
- HS code & duties calculation
- Amazon FBA prep (if needed)
- Real-time shipment tracking
- Door-to-door delivery confirmation
