Factory or middleman?
Half of the “factories” on Alibaba are trading companies with a mark-up. Telling them apart remotely is hard.
Wholesalers
Wholesale sourcing in China for distributors and trading companies
A wholesaler needs stability and price: one reliable plant instead of random sellers, clear production lead times and shipping that doesn't break the economics. Our Chinese team member negotiates with factories in Chinese; we verify them before prepayment, inspect the batch before dispatch and ship by truck, rail or sea — with customs clearance and documents in your company's name.
What usually gets in the way
What usually gets in the way
Prepayment risk
A large sum goes to a Chinese account — you need a legal-entity check and a safe payment scheme.
The batch doesn't match the sample
The sample was perfect, the container is a different quality. Without inspection before dispatch it's too late to argue.
