Your product looks like a brand and not a parcel.
Custom packaging, inserts, labels and private-label runs, designed and produced by the same team that makes the product.
You never have to manage a second vendor.
The team that sources it stores it and ships it from our own warehouses, so nothing gets lost in a handover.

A real sourcing team stands behind every product you sell

The four things that matter when you're scaling a physical product.

Factory-direct pricing
We buy straight from the factory, no trade company and no hidden markup, so more of each sale stays your margin.
In-person quality control
Our people walk the floor and open units, not a photo from the supplier. Every run is inspected before it ships.
Custom packaging and branding
Boxes, inserts, labels and private-label runs, designed and produced with the same team that makes the product.
We ship it too
The same team that sources it stores it and fulfills it, so there is no second vendor and no second handover.

One vendor takes your product from the factory to the doorstep

Sourcing, samples, inspection, warehousing and shipping, run by one team.

Frequently asked questions

What brands ask us before they move their sourcing over.

View the full FAQ
What we do
+What do you actually do for a brand sourcing from China?
We shortlist and audit the factories, pull samples, negotiate the unit price directly, and inspect every run before it ships. Then it goes into our own warehouses and out to your customers.
+Can you build a custom product, or only source existing ones?
Both. Bring a finished product, a competitor link or a sketch. We handle factory selection, prototyping, tooling and the first production run.
+How are you different from a sourcing agent?
An agent hands you off at the factory gate. We own the warehouses on the other side, so the same team that sources the product stores it, packs it and ships it to your customer.
Quality and production
+How do you check quality?
Our people are in the factory, not on a video call. Units are checked during production and again when they reach our warehouse, which is how we hold 99.8% order accuracy.
+How fast can I get a sample?
Around 14 days for a first sample on most categories. You hold the product before you commit to a run.
+Can you do custom packaging and private label?
Yes. Boxes, mailers, inserts, labels and full private-label runs, produced alongside the product by the same team.
Pricing and terms
+How do you charge?
You see the factory invoice. Our fee is quoted against it, and freight and duties are passed through at cost. No markup buried in the shipping line.
+What are your minimums?
We work with brands doing 10+ orders a day and run up to 10,000 a day for a single client. MOQs are set by the factory and the packaging, and we push for the lowest one that still holds the price.
+How do I get started?
Get a free quote. Send the product, your volume and where you ship, and we come back with real factory pricing on your numbers.
