What I source

If it is made in China, I can source it.

From a single sample to full containers. These are the lines I move most, but the process is the same for almost any product.

Electronics & e-mobility

Consumer tech, batteries, e-bikes and smart devices, mostly out of Shenzhen and Dongguan.

Furniture & home

Furniture, lighting, ceramics, tiles and appliances, the Foshan and Zhongshan corridor.

Apparel & textiles

Clothing, bags, leather and accessories from the Guangzhou trade markets.

Hardware & industrial

Tools, fittings, locks and metal parts from Yongkang, Ningbo and beyond.

OEM & custom builds

Your own design or branding, taken from drawing to finished product with the right factory.

QC, packing & freight

Inspection, consolidation and shipping handled, so one order arrives ready to sell.

On the ground

I source in person, in China.

I don't work from a screen. I visit the factories myself, meet the people who build your order, and check the goods before they ship.

That's me on the factory floor. Work with me and someone you can actually reach has already stood in the room where your product is made.

The network

The hubs I buy from, on the map.

Each Chinese city is known for what it makes. The southern Pearl River Delta around Guangzhou, Foshan, Shenzhen, Dongguan and Zhongshan covers electronics, furniture, lighting and apparel. Up the coast in Zhejiang, Yiwu and Ningbo handle small commodities and industrial goods.

How it works

From your brief to your door.

A clear path with no surprises. You stay informed at every step and you approve before any money moves.

1

Tell me what you need

Send the product, the quantity and your target. I find the right factory and come back with a quote, lead time and Incoterm.

2

Confirm & deposit

We lock the order on a deposit. Specs, materials and finish are agreed in writing before anything is made.

3

Production

The factory builds your order. I track progress and send photos and updates as it comes together.

4

Quality control

Goods are inspected before packing, so problems are solved in China, not after they reach you.

5

Consolidate & ship

Everything is packed and loaded together, by sea for volume or air when you need it fast.

6

Delivery & documents

Your order arrives at your door with the paperwork in order, ready to clear and sell.

Why source it through me

One agent between you and the factory.

Direct from the factory floor

I buy at the gate from vetted manufacturers, so you skip every layer of markup between the line and your door.

Checked before it ships

Every order is inspected in China. Faults get caught there, not after they reach you.

One accountable contact

You deal with me start to finish. No language gap, and no chasing factories across time zones.

Consolidated freight

Your order is crated, palletised and shipped together. Sea for volume, air when you need it fast.

Compliant by default

Batteries and regulated goods are documented and packed to carrier rules, so they clear without drama.

One honest price

You get a single all-in figure for your terms. What I quote is what you pay, with no surprises on arrival.

A live example

What a finished sourcing job looks like.

A buyer wanted electric off-road bikes shipped to Da Nang. Here is the exact proposal I built for them, models, specs and all.

Next step

Tell me what you want to source.

Send the product, the quantity and where it needs to go. I come back with the factory options, a price and the lead time.
