View allFrequently asked questions
How long does Sourcing from China take?
Most research projects take one to three weeks. Sourcing work depends on sampling and factory lead times, and we give you a dated plan before we start.
Which countries do you source from?
Mainly China, Vietnam, Türkiye, Europe and the US, using marketplaces such as Alibaba and 1688 as well as direct factory contacts.
Can Sourcing from China be tailored to 1688.com?
Yes. We use 1688.com fees, categories and buyer behaviour in the research, so the numbers reflect where you will actually sell.
Do you guarantee a winning product?
No agency can guarantee sales. We reduce the risk with evidence, margins and validated suppliers, and we tell you when a product is not worth pursuing.
