Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our direct Chinese factory procurement process.

No. Our product sourcing and factory quotation service is 100% free with zero upfront retainers and zero obligations. You only pay for inventory and shipping when you decide to proceed with fulfillment.
Most standard e-commerce products receive complete factory quotes within 12 to 24 hours. For complex OEM items requiring custom tooling, mold fabrication, or specialized ingredient certification, quotes are delivered in 24–48 hours.
For off-the-shelf catalog products sourced directly from 1688 factories, the MOQ is 1 unit (dropshipping model). For custom logo printing and bespoke thank-you inserts, MOQs typically start at just 50–100 units. For fully customized rigid box packaging, MOQs start around 300–500 units.
Every inventory shipment arriving at our Shenzhen warehouse undergoes mandatory AQL 2.5 piece-by-piece inspection. Our QC staff checks cosmetic finishing, physical dimensions, functionality, power cables, and switches. Any flawed unit is returned to the manufacturer before packaging.
Absolutely. We maintain strict non-disclosure compliance. We never share, publicize, or run internal e-commerce stores that compete with our fulfillment clients. Your winning SKUs and supplier contracts remain 100% confidential.
Yes. We frequently assemble bundles and kits—for example, sourcing a bottle from Zhejiang, a custom lid from Dongguan, and a printed gift box from Shenzhen—consolidating them into a single finished SKU ready for dispatch.
