China Sourcing & Quality Control for US Buyers

Researched first. Priced right.

We find the right factory, check the samples and inspect your goods before anyone quotes you a price. Only shipments that pass earn our seal.

Our promise

The seal you can trust

In China, a red seal, the chop, is what makes a deal official. We use ours the same way. A shipment only earns the SourceChinaDirect seal after its factory has been verified, its samples approved and its goods inspected against your specs. No seal, no shipment.

A real order

How a real order will be documented

Follow a real order [ORD001] from the first request to delivery: the research, the factory, the samples, the inspection, the seal and the container. Client details are redacted for privacy.

FAQ

Straight answers

What's the minimum order?

It depends on the product and the factory. We'll tell you after research. [or Yehiel's standard answer]

What happens if the goods fail inspection?

They don't get our seal and they don't ship until it's fixed. [Yehiel to confirm the exact policy: rework, replacement, refund handling]

Do you handle shipping and customs?

[Yehiel to confirm what's included]

How long does it take?

Research usually takes [time]. Production and shipping depend on the product and route, and you'll see every stage in your tracker.
