We understand that no two sourcing projects are exactly alike. If our standard packages do not perfectly fit your needs, we are happy to create a custom service plan. Whether you need a one-time factory audit, ongoing quality monitoring for an existing supplier, or a complex multi-product sourcing project, we will put together a proposal that covers exactly what you need at a fair price.
For ongoing clients with regular orders, we offer retainer arrangements that provide dedicated support and preferential pricing.

Our fees vary depending on the services required and the scope of your project. For sourcing-only services, we typically charge a flat fee per project. For ongoing sourcing with quality control, fees are based on a percentage of the order value. We always provide a clear fee structure before starting any work.
For sourcing projects, we may require a small initial fee to begin the supplier search. This demonstrates commitment and covers our research costs. The fee is clearly communicated before you agree. Initial consultations and quotations are always free.
No. We operate on a transparent fee model where our service charges are separate from the product cost. You see the actual factory price and our fee as distinct items. We do not inflate supplier quotes.
When you request a free quote, we review your requirements and provide a detailed proposal outlining which services we recommend, the estimated service fees, a rough timeline, and any additional costs you should budget for (samples, shipping, etc.). There is no obligation to proceed.
Yes. Repeat clients benefit from our retainer arrangements, which provide reduced rates and priority service. The more we work together, the more efficiently we can serve you, and we pass those savings along.
