China sourcing & purchasing services
Practical support for buying from Chinese suppliers, checking incoming goods and preparing your business orders for international delivery.
Sourcing & purchasing
Start with a 1688 or Taobao link, a product specification, or a shortlist of suppliers. We help turn that brief into an order with agreed quantities, variations and purchasing costs.
- Confirm the selected product, size, colour, material and quantity with the supplier.
- Clarify the minimum order, available stock and domestic delivery arrangements.
- Coordinate samples or custom packaging when the supplier offers them.
- Arrange purchasing after you approve the itemised quote and order details.
Supplier listings are a starting point. Availability, pricing and specifications need confirmation before an order is placed.
Receiving & inspection
Orders from different suppliers can be received at one warehouse. Agree the checks you need before the goods arrive so your team knows what will be reviewed.
Receiving checks
Carton count, visible packaging condition and identification against your order.
Product checks
Agreed quantity, colour, size and photo checks, with the scope and sampling level confirmed in advance.
Issue reporting
Review reported differences before deciding whether to accept, replace or return affected goods.
Special requirements
Discuss functional tests or specialist inspection separately before purchasing.
Visual and quantity checks do not certify product safety, regulatory compliance or hidden defects. Your business remains responsible for the requirements in its destination market.
Consolidation & packing
Bring supplier orders together before international dispatch. Once receiving is complete, review the carton dimensions, weight and packing plan for the shipment.
- Combine goods from multiple suppliers where the products and route allow it.
- Discuss repacking, protective materials and carton labelling for your order.
- Confirm which original packaging must be retained for retail or warranty purposes.
- Compare suitable freight options using the final packed measurements.
