  • We have established a database of over 1000 verified suppliers in China. For your inquiries, we will search in the list to see if there is a suitable match.

  • If we can use an existing verified supplier for your order, it is great as the supplier has been tested for premium quality and good price.

  • If there is not a good match in the list, we will firstly find out the industrial clusters of your products, like electronics in Shenzhen, furniture in Foshan, kitchenware in Zhongshan, handbag in Quanzhou, etc. Then, we search for the right factory in that area depending on your requirements.

7. ls your price lower than what I can find on Alibaba? 7. ls your price lower than what I can find on Alibaba? 7. ls your price lower than what I can find on Alibaba?
  • Suppliers on Alibaba can be factories, wholesalers, traders, and middlemen. You may find hundreds of prices for the same product. So, it is very hard to judge who they are and what they truly offer by checking their websites.

  • In fact, without taking quality and service into consideration, you can always find a lower price if you keep searching. However, experienced importers know that some prices are too good to be true as they have had lots of costly lessons.

  • We focus on the best cost performance rather than pursuing the lowest price. We promise you that our quote is the best possible price based on your requirements. Many clients say that our price is at the medium level among the prices they can find on Alibaba, and they appreciate the hassle-free services and premium quality we offer.

10.lf the delivery charge is higher than the goods'value, how I can do? 10.lf the delivery charge is higher than the goods'value, how I can do? 10.lf the delivery charge is higher than the goods'value, how I can do?

Some customers may face an embarrassing question that the delivery charge is higher than the value of goods. How can you do? Here we offer two

suggestions.


Firstly, purchasing more items instead of small quantities. Since our company helps source many kinds of goods, you can ask your friends or others to share the delivery charge if they have plan to buy things from China.


Secondly, if the quantity is small and you really can't find someone to share the charge with you, we suggest you to buy in your domestic market. After all, the domestic price may be less than what you pay for buying from China cause the retailers to import big quantities one time.

We won't specify which suppliers you need to buy from. You can choose any suppliers in the shopping malls and factories. However, if you don't have some good suppliers on hand, we can suggest to you for reference. Moreover, we will let you know which suppliers are good, which are bad if we cooperated with them before.

Yes, normally shopping malls and centers are open on Saturday and Sunday all year round. Only close during Chinese New Year. They open from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.


If you plan to visit the factories directly, they normally don't work on Sundays and some national legal days. You need to book their time before visiting if coming on those days.

If you buy for wholesale,7days will be great because you can visit more suppliers for comparison.


If you buy for home use or projects,4 to 5 days are ok. Some customers like shopping for some bags, clothes, and shoes as gifts for their families and friends after procurement. Then one or two more days will be perfect.


16. When is the good time for me coming to China? 16. When is the good time for me coming to China? 16. When is the good time for me coming to China?

Normally it takes 30 or more days for production. Plus the shipping time,we suggest reserving at least 3 months waiting for the products to your home or warehouse. 


Before coming to China, it will be better to ask us whether the schedule is ok in case any holidays.There are two long vacations in China which are not good to come. 


Chinese New Year


It does not come on a certain date but usually comes by the end of January or beginning of February. Many shopping malls are close about 2 weeks. For most factories, the workers have about one-month vacation because they come back to hometown. That means you have to wait a longer time for production. It is not a good idea coming to China during this period.


Chinese National Holiday


From 1st to 7th October are Chinese National Holiday. Though the shipping malls are open, many other companies don't work during this period. People are off and go out to travel. Without a doubt, the trafic is not good while the hotel is more expensive. 


Besides the above two big vocations, there are still small vocations such as Mid Autumn Day Festival, L abour Day, Tomb Sweeping Day and so on. Most people used to have 2~3 days off but markets & shops are still open. It is not a very big problem for a business visit. 


It will be better that you confirm the schedule with us before your coming.
