Sourcing and Purchasing
We find qualified factories, negotiate pricing, manage sampling, and keep every procurement step moving with clear communication.
Our 6-Phase Sourcing Process
A transparent, repeatable process engineered for speed and reliability.
Product Identification
Explore 1688.com or share your product ideas. Our team reviews your list for feasibility and viability, flagging import restrictions or quality concerns early.
Requirement Analysis
Submit requirements via email or WhatsApp. We analyse specs, target pricing, MOQ constraints, and certifications needed, then send a structured brief to qualified factories.
Cost Validation
We verify current pricing directly with manufacturers, cross-check against market rates, provide a detailed cost breakdown with shipping estimate, and process your payment securely.
Procurement Execution
Orders are placed immediately upon payment confirmation. Domestic transit to our Guangdong warehouse typically completes within 72 hours, with real-time updates shared throughout.
Quality Assurance
Goods go through quantity verification, SKU-level matching, and damage inspection before packing. Defective units are flagged and resolved directly with the factory on your behalf.
Global Dispatch
Dispatched via DHL, FedEx, UPS, air cargo, or sea freight immediately after final settlement. Tracking numbers and shipping documents are sent to you the same day.
