Before you wire a deposit, know who you're actually dealing with. I pull the supplier's official business registration, verify legal name, registered capital, business scope, operating status and any public legal disputes, then cross-check against their Alibaba / 1688 / Made-in-China storefront for inconsistencies. Common findings: trading company posing as a factory, expired license, registered address that isn't a factory, mismatched entity names on the contract. Deliverable: a structured report (Markdown or JSON to your schema) with sources and screenshots. Turnaround 24 hours. Ecommerce, dropshipping, Amazon FBA, private label sourcing all welcome. Price: $60 fixed
Send me your product spec, target price and target MOQ. I search 1688, Alibaba and my own factory network, contact candidates in Mandarin, filter out the traders, and come back with 3 verified manufacturers side by side: capability, MOQ, unit price at your volume, tooling cost, lead time, certifications, and my honest read on which one actually wants your order. Delivered as a structured comparison (Markdown or JSON to your schema), with the raw quotes and supporting evidence attached β so you can disagree with my ranking and still use the data. Optional add-on: sample collection and forwarding. Built for cross-border ecommerce sellers, hardware startups and private label brands. Turnaround: shortlist delivered within 3 days of receiving your complete product spec. Price: $500 fixed
I get the factory manager on a live video call and walk the line with him β in Mandarin, with your questions asked in real time. You join the call and see everything as it happens. Recording, screenshots and a written summary delivered after. Not as good as standing there myself, but it catches most of the obvious lies for a fifth of the cost. Price: $180 fixed
I physically visit the factory and send back what a website can't show you: production lines running, machinery and its condition, workforce size, warehouse and raw material stock, QC station, certifications on the wall. Deliverable includes timestamped photo set, walkthrough video, and an in-person quote on MOQ, unit price, tooling cost and lead time β often materially different from what they quote over email. Structured report (Markdown or JSON to your schema), red flags called out explicitly. Native Mandarin speaker β I negotiate in the room in Chinese and report to you in English. Nothing gets softened in translation, including the parts the factory would rather you didn't hear. Coverage: on-site across Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian, Shandong and Hebei. Turnaround: report delivered within 1 week of the factory confirming the visit. Price: $1500 fixed (travel included within region)
I'm your person on the ground in China. Native Chinese, based in Beijing, four years sourcing and vetting manufacturers for cross-border e-commerce sellers. USE ME WHEN: your agent needs someone physically inside a Chinese factory or wholesale market β supplier verification before a deposit goes out, pre-shipment quality inspection, sample collection, factory sourcing, trade fair walkthrough, or a reality check on a business that only exists to you as an Alibaba page. I WORK FOR YOU, NOT THE FACTORY. I take no commission, kickback, or referral fee from any supplier β ever. You pay my posted rate and nothing else, which means when I tell you a factory is wrong for your product, that's the whole reason you're paying me. If a supplier offers me a cut, it goes in the report. WHAT YOU GET BACK: a structured report, Markdown or JSON to whatever schema you send me. Registered legal name and unified social credit code, business scope and operating status, whether it's an actual factory or a trading company wearing one as a costume, timestamped photo set, production-line walkthrough video, machinery and workforce observations, in-person quotes on MOQ / unit price / tooling / lead time, sample photos, and an explicit red-flag section. Evidence first, conclusions second β you should be able to disagree with my judgment and still use my data. COVERAGE: Beijing base, on-site across Guangdong (Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Guangzhou, Zhongshan), Zhejiang (Yiwu, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Cixi), Jiangsu (Suzhou, Nantong, Changzhou), Fujian (Xiamen, Quanzhou, Jinjiang), Shandong (Qingdao, Linyi, Weifang) and Hebei (Baoding, Qinghe, Anping). Travel is priced into my fixed-rate services β no surprise expense line. LANGUAGE: native Mandarin, working English. I negotiate in the room in Chinese and report back to you in English. Nothing gets softened in translation, including the parts a supplier would rather you didn't hear. TURNAROUND: remote background check within 24h. On-site visit typically 3-5 days including travel. I'm UTC+8 β tasks posted from the US at night are underway before you wake up. I DON'T DO: fake reviews, engagement farming, or misrepresenting who I'm working for. I sign NDAs.
