How It Works

Two services, two clear processes. Both start with a simple inquiry.

Sourcing & Inspection

1

Submit Your Inquiry

Tell us what you need — product type, quantity, destination, budget, and timeline. We scope and match to the right service.

2

We Brief China-Side

We contact our vetted supplier network or deploy a local helper. You get options with transparent pricing — no hidden markups.

3

You Approve Before We Pay

Samples, inspection reports, or factory confirmations come to you first. Funds held in escrow until you say proceed.

4

Delivered & Documented

Goods ship or task completes. Full documentation provided. Complete transparent record of the transaction.

Warehouse Matching

1

Submit Your Requirements

Tell us your target region, volume, services needed, and when you want to move in. UK or Netherlands — both available now.

2

We Match & Introduce

We match you to the right warehouse partner and make a warm introduction. No cold calls to foreign operators on your end.

3

Trial Period Recommended

Start with a small first shipment to verify the relationship. Most Chinese sellers begin with 10–20 pallets before scaling up.

4

Agreement Signed — You're In

Once both sides confirm the fit, you sign directly with the warehouse. The commercial relationship is yours from that point on.

Where We Operate

China-side for sourcing and inspection. UK and EU for warehouse matching.

Why Escrow Changes Everything

The biggest barrier to cross-border trade is payment risk. Buyers don't want to pay upfront to someone they've never met. Suppliers don't want to start production without a deposit. This standoff kills deals — or leaves one side taking all the risk.

We sit in the middle. You pay us. We hold the funds. We release to the supplier only at milestones you've approved. Neither side takes blind risk. That's the trust bridge in action.

Frequently Asked Questions

What clients ask us most often before getting started.

Do I need to speak Chinese or know any suppliers to use the sourcing service?
Not at all. You brief us in English on what you need, and we handle all communication with suppliers and local helpers in Chinese. You never need to contact a supplier directly unless you want to.
What happens if an inspection comes back unsatisfactory?
You don't proceed — and you don't pay the production balance. Your funds in escrow are never released until you approve. If you've paid a sourcing deposit, we work with you to find an alternative supplier or negotiate a revision at no additional facilitation cost.
Is the warehouse matching service really free for sellers?
Yes. We charge the warehouse a one-time success fee when we place a client with them — not you. From your side, the matching, introduction, and onboarding support are all free. No hidden fees on the client side.
What's the difference between the UK and Netherlands warehouse options?
The UK warehouse (Huddersfield/Manchester) is best for sellers focused on Amazon UK or Shopify UK customers — Royal Mail and DPD coverage, FBA prep and FBM. The Netherlands warehouse (Tilburg, 4,500m2+) is better for multi-country EU distribution — Rotterdam port access, intra-EU trucking, and coverage across Germany, France, Belgium, and beyond from one location.
How long does a typical sourcing order take?
For a first order with a new supplier, expect 45–75 days from inquiry to delivery — including sourcing (1 week), sampling (2–3 weeks), production (3–5 weeks), and shipping (1–3 weeks). Repeat orders with established suppliers typically run 30–45 days.
Can I use just the inspection service without the full sourcing package?
Yes. The $280 inspection service is available as a standalone — you already have your supplier, you just need someone physically on the ground to verify before you release payment. This is one of our most commonly used services.
Can you handle large orders — like 20 vehicles or 10,000 units?
Yes. Large orders are where our payment infrastructure and on-the-ground presence deliver the most value. We scale oversight accordingly — multiple inspection visits, milestone-based payment releases, and dedicated coordination for complex shipments.

Two Services. One Inquiry Away.

Whether you're sourcing from China or need a warehouse in Europe — start with a simple inquiry. No commitment, no upfront payment until you've approved our proposal.
