You pay suppliers DIRECTLY via wire transfer or WorldFirst. We never touch your product funds. Our commission is invoiced separately after your order is complete. This zero-touch model means zero financial risk to you. We accept payments in USD, HKD, or RMB through our Hong Kong entity.

We provide dual protection: (1) NNN agreements signed with suppliers under PRC law before any product details are shared, and (2) Your service contract with us is under Hong Kong law β€” a trusted, English-language common law jurisdiction. This structure protects your IP in China while giving you familiar legal recourse.

We withhold final payment authorization and negotiate rework or refunds on your behalf. Products do not leave the factory until you approve the inspection report. If issues cannot be resolved satisfactorily, we help you source from an alternative supplier at no additional commission.

You select and pay your international carrier directly (DHL, UPS, FedEx, or freight forwarders). We prepare goods for export with all necessary documentation, ensure proper packaging, and coordinate handoff to your chosen logistics partner. This eliminates markup and gives you direct control over shipping costs and methods.

We conduct a multi-step verification process: business license verification, facility audits (for Growth and Scale tiers), reference checks with previous clients, certification validation, and export experience confirmation. We only recommend suppliers that pass all our verification criteria.

We prepare all necessary export documentation from China (commercial invoice, packing list, certificates of origin, etc.). However, import customs clearance and duty payment in your country are your responsibility. We can recommend customs brokers if needed.

Our service minimums are USD $3,000 for Starter tier, USD $10,000 for Growth, and USD $50,000 for Scale. Actual product MOQs vary by supplier and product type β€” we negotiate the best possible MOQ for your needs, often securing lower minimums for first-time orders.

Our headquarters are in Shenzhen, China, strategically positioned near major manufacturing centers. This proximity allows us to conduct frequent factory visits, respond quickly to issues, and maintain strong relationships with suppliers. We also have an office in Hong Kong for backend service support and payment processing.

Yes, we offer prototyping and product development services for hardware startups and brands. This includes component sourcing, 3D printing, PCB assembly, and small-batch production. Contact us for custom development projects.
