How It Works

Five clear steps from your first message to delivery at your door.

What We Do

Pick only what you need

Take one service on its own, or the whole order end to end. The price is the same whether your order is one carton or one container.

Prices are for our work only. The goods and the freight are paid separately, straight to the factory and the shipping line. See what each one includes →

Why You Need Us

What goes wrong, and what we do

On your own With us
You pay a supplier you found online and hope. We stand inside the factory first. No visit, no payment.
Goods arrive nothing like the sample. We inspect the batch before your money is released.
You negotiate by email, in your second language. We negotiate in Mandarin, face to face, in writing.
Weeks of silence once the factory has your deposit. We go back during production and send you photos.
The container is held at your port over the paperwork. Every document checked against your licence before it sails.
Where We Ship

We are in Yiwu. We ship to your port.

Sea, air or express, and container sharing if your order is too small to fill one. Outside these countries, tell us your port first — we will say honestly if that route is not for us before you pay anything.

English, Somali and Mandarin. Nobody in the middle, and you always know exactly what was agreed.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the supplier turns out to be fake?

We visit the factory before you pay. We check the business licence, the production line and the export history, and if anything does not add up we tell you and you keep your money.

What if the quality is bad?

If the batch fails inspection we reject it and the factory fixes the defects before your payment is released. You see the photos first.

How do I pay you?

EVC Plus, Zaad, eDahab, Premier Bank, bank transfer or card. The goods and the freight are paid separately, in stages, never all up front.

How long does it take?

About 48 hours to shortlist a supplier. Production is usually 15 to 45 days, then 25 days by air or 45 to 60 by sea.
