A Buying Team in China,
Priced Two Ways
Every order starts with the same question: do you already have a factory, or do you need us to find one? That single answer decides which service — and which fee — fits your order.
Two Ways to Work with Us
Most buyers arrive in one of two situations: they already know the factory, or
they only know the product. The work is different, so the fee is different.
Factory Direct Purchasing
For buyers with a factory or supplier already chosen. We become your hands on the ground.

From Enquiry to Your Warehouse
Every order runs through the same six stages. You get a named contact in
Dalian and photo updates at each handover.
01
Enquiry
Send the product, quantity, target price and destination. We reply with a plan and the fee.
02
Suppliers
We shortlist makers, compare quotes and check the trading history behind each one.
03
Sample
Samples are ordered, photographed and checked in our office before you approve.
04
Payment
You pay us once. We settle with the factory in RMB and keep the receipts.
05
Inspection
Goods are counted and inspected on arrival. Faulty units go back before they ship.
06
Ship
Consolidated, repacked if needed, stored in Dalian and released when you say so.
Beyond the Basics
For buyers with a bigger footprint in China: build your own product, hand off the
search only, or keep a standing team on the ground.
