Optional China-Side Sourcing Support
Our core service is China price research. If a supplier has no English contact, no export process, no international payment, or only domestic shipping, we can review optional sourcing support for a separate service fee.
Important principle
Price research comes first. Sourcing support only begins after you request it, we review feasibility, and both sides agree to a separate service fee.
We are not trying to force every buyer into a purchasing service
If a supplier has an export team, English contact, public email, Alibaba page, WhatsApp, or international buyer process, we generally recommend that you contact them directly. Our China-side sourcing support is for situations where direct contact is not practical.
Contact suppliers directly
Best when suppliers have export contact channels and can handle overseas buyers directly.
- You keep direct control
- No sourcing support fee
- Faster if supplier can export
Use China-side assistance
Useful when the supplier only speaks Chinese, only accepts domestic payment, or only ships inside China.
- Chinese communication
- Specification confirmation
- Sample or order support
Technical / OEM projects
For drawings, components, BOM, OEM, CNC, molds, or industrial parts, we review scope before accepting support.
- Technical file review
- Supplier capability check
- Custom service quote
China-side support can solve problems that a report alone cannot
Many real China-side suppliers are not built for overseas buyers. They may not speak English, may not accept international payment, may not provide export documents, and may only ship to a domestic address.
We can communicate with Chinese-only suppliers when English contact is unavailable.
We can help clarify size, material, model, packaging, MOQ, sample, and lead time.
Some suppliers only support domestic payment and domestic delivery inside China.
When accepted, we may help coordinate sample purchase and basic receiving steps.
We may help check visible quantity, packaging, variant, label, or obvious damage.
We may help forward to your freight forwarder or agreed shipping route when suitable.
No hidden markup. Service fee only.
If we provide sourcing support, we charge a separate service fee for the work. We do not position the service as a hidden product price spread.
Where practical, product cost, domestic shipping, and service fee should be clearly separated.
We clarify what is included before the work begins, especially for technical or supplier-heavy tasks.
You can use the price report to contact suppliers directly. Optional support is your choice.
What optional sourcing support may include
The exact scope depends on product type, supplier situation, destination, order value, and risk. We review each case before accepting.
Ask about price, MOQ, stock, specification, packaging, sample, lead time, payment, and domestic shipping.
Clarify product model, material, dimensions, drawings, accessories, packaging, or custom options.
For accepted requests, help coordinate sample purchase when suppliers do not support overseas buyers.
Receive domestic parcels when appropriate and within the agreed service scope.
Provide basic photo or video check for visible item, quantity, color, model, packaging, or obvious damage.
Coordinate forwarding to your freight forwarder or agreed route, if product type and shipping conditions are suitable.

What sourcing support does not automatically include
To avoid misunderstanding, optional sourcing support does not automatically include the following unless separately agreed in writing.
Common questions about optional support
Is optional sourcing support included in the price research report?
No. Price research and sourcing support are separate. The report helps you understand the China-side price context. Sourcing support begins only when requested and separately agreed.
Do I have to use your sourcing support?
No. If supplier contact is available, you can contact the supplier directly. We do not force buyers to purchase through us.
Do you charge hidden product markup?
No. Our model is service-fee based. Where practical, product cost, domestic shipping, and service fee should be separated.
Can you help with technical or OEM products?
Possibly, but technical, custom, drawing-based, BOM, CNC, mold, or OEM projects require manual review and may need a Technical / OEM Retainer or custom quote.
Can you guarantee supplier quality?
No. We can help coordinate communication and agreed support steps, but we do not guarantee supplier performance, production result, product compliance, or resale outcome.
Need China-side help after a price check?
Start with a price research request. If direct supplier contact is not practical, ask us to review optional sourcing support after the report.
