The Sourcing Sprint
Three real factories. Seven days.
We find, visit and compare three factories for your product, so you place your order knowing who makes it and what it costs landed.
Included
What you get on day 7.

Real factories we have visited or work with directly. Never Alibaba listings.
Production quotes
A real quote from each factory, not a listing price.
Floor video and samples

Landed freight estimate
What it costs to reach your door: freight, duties and handling.
Personal walkthrough
A Loom video: which factory I would pick, and why.
WhatsApp access
Talk to us directly all week. Plus a brief template and a red-flag checklist.

How we work
You see everything. We carry the risk.
You see the factory, the floor video, the samples and the price. We stay between you and the factory, so price, quality and deadlines are our job.
One point of contact
You talk to us. We talk to the factory, in Mandarin.
Leverage on price
Twenty years of orders with these factories means better terms than a first-time buyer gets.
Someone on the floor
We check production on site before anything ships.
