Six services, arranged the way a purchase actually happens — not the way a company is organised. You can take one of them or all of them. You keep the decisions and the money; we do the ground work.
Finding a factory takes an afternoon. Finding one that will still be making the same thing, to the same standard, in the third year — that takes longer, and it is the part that matters.
We start with factories we have used or walked through ourselves, then we go and look — the line, the QC bench, the warehouse, and the file behind the certificate. Plenty of "factories" are trading companies with a showroom. That is not a crime. You just want to know which one is on the other end of the email.
You get a short list, the reason each one is on it, the questions we asked, the answers that didn't quite hold together, and the one I would use — with what you give up by choosing it.
An inspection is only worth paying for while the goods can still be fixed and your money can still be held back. That is a narrow window: after production, before the balance.
We work from the sample you approved and the spec we wrote: quantity, sizes, finish, whether it works, how it is packed, what is printed on the box. Photographs throughout, and a report you can forward to your own customer without editing it first.
If it fails, you get the photos and the measurements first, then the choices: rework it, sort it, take a discount, or hold the shipment. You pick. I stay there until it is done.
Most arguments we get pulled into are not about quality. They are two people who read the same sentence and understood different things.
So we write it down: material, sizes and tolerances, finish, colour reference, packing, which test standard. Then we send it back to you in normal language and ask you to check it, before a single factory quotes against it.
Samples get posted to you — not just photographed. Whatever you approve gets sealed, signed and written into the order, so when the goods arrive there is a physical thing to hold them against.
Buy from four suppliers and you get four freight quotes, four sets of papers, and four chances for something to go on the wrong pallet.
So we bring it together: everything into one warehouse, checked in against the packing list, photographed, packed, loaded once. One bill of lading, one set of papers, one person to call if something is missing.
We quote freight separately and transparently — you see the forwarder's number and ours, and you are free to use your own forwarder if you prefer.
Four ways to move it, chosen by what the goods are: FCL for a single heavy category with the container to itself; LCL for a few cubic metres of trial stock, priced by volume, with weekly sailings from Nansha and Shekou; air for replenishment, samples or high-value low-weight goods, roughly five days door to door; rail to inland Europe on the China–Europe service — about two weeks faster than sea, far cheaper than air. Which one is right depends on value, volume and how long you can wait. We will price all three or four for you and then recommend one.
Destination side too: customs clearance, haulage and delivery can stop at the port or run to the door. Most clients use their own broker — our job is to make the documents clean enough that the broker has nothing to ask.
A real certificate for the wrong model is worse than no certificate at all. It gets you past the first check and then fails the one that decides whether the building opens.
We collect the reports, certificates, declarations and origin papers, and check three things: does the model match the goods, is the standard the one your market asks for, and is the report still current.
If the papers cannot be made to match, you hear it before you order — not after the boat has left.
Drawing, tool, first part. The hard bit is not the tool. It is agreeing in writing what the first part has to measure before anyone cuts metal.
We sit with the factory and go through the drawing: what cannot be moulded the way it is drawn, what will warp when it cools, what will not come out of the tool. All of that comes back to you before anything is cut.
Who owns the tool and who owns the design gets agreed before work starts. The tool is yours.
You see the factory's price and ours separately. If a number cannot be explained line by line, it should not be on the invoice.
Visits, inspection, consolidation and documentation each have a stated cost before we start. No surprise at the bottom of the page.
Deposit to the factory, balance after inspection passes. Your money moves when the goods have earned it.
Some enquiries we decline. A declined brief costs you one email; a badly taken one costs you a container.
找个厂，一个下午就够了。难的是找到一个第三年还在做同样的东西、还是同样标准的厂——那才是真正费时间的事。
我们先从自己用过、亲自走过一遍的厂里挑，然后去现场看：产线、质检台、仓库，还有那张证书背后那一沓文件。很多「工厂」其实是带展厅的贸易公司。这不算骗人，但您得知道邮件对面坐的是谁。
您会拿到一份短名单，每家为什么在里面、我们问了什么、哪里答得含糊，以及我会选哪一家——还有选它要放弃什么。
验货只有在两个条件同时成立时才值得花钱：货还改得动，您的钱还压得住。这个窗口很窄——生产完之后、尾款之前。
我们对着您确认过的样品和我们写过的规格查：数量、尺寸、饰面、能不能用、怎么装的、箱子上印了什么。全程拍照，出一份您可以直接转给您自己客户、不用先改一遍的报告。
不合格的话，您先看到照片和测量数据，然后才是选项：返工、挑拣、折价，还是压着不发。您定，我留在现场看着做完。
我们被拉进去的大多数争执，其实不是品质问题。是两个人读了同一句话，理解成了两件事。
所以我们把它写下来：材质、尺寸和公差、饰面、色号、包装、按哪个标准检测。然后用大白话发回给您，请您确认——在任何一个厂照着它报价之前。
样品是寄给您的，不只是拍张照。您确认的那一只封起来、签上字、写进订单——等货到了，有一个实物可以拿来对。
找四家供应商买货，你会收到四份运费报价、四套单据，和四次上错托盘的机会。
所以我们把它并到一起：所有的货进同一个仓，对着装箱单点清、拍照、一起打包、一次装柜。一张提单，一套单据，少了东西只找一个人。
运费单独报，看得见：货代的价和我们的价分开列。您想用自己的货代，也完全可以。
几种走法，按货的情况选：整柜（FCL）适合单一大宗品类，柜内只装您的货；拼箱（LCL）适合几立方的试单，按体积计费，南沙或蛇口每周有班；空运用于补货、样品或高单价轻货，按公斤计，五天左右到；铁路往欧洲内陆中欧班列，比海运快两周上下，比空运便宜很多。哪一种合适，取决于货值、体积和您能等多久——我们会把三种算法都给您看一遍，然后给建议。
目的地段也能接：到港后的清关、拖车、送仓，可以只做到港，也可以做到门。多数客户用自己熟悉的报关行，我们负责把单据做到他们不用来回问。
一份型号不对的真证书，比没有证书更糟。它能让你过掉第一道检查，然后死在决定这栋楼能不能开的那一道上。
我们把检测报告、证书、声明、原产地文件都收齐，然后核三件事：型号对不对得上这批货、标准是不是您那个市场要的、报告还有效吗。
如果这些文件就是做不成一致的，您在下单之前就会知道——而不是船开走之后。
图纸、模具、首件。难的不是开模。难的是在动刀之前，用文字讲清楚首件必须量到多少。
我坐在厂里跟工程师一起过图纸：哪里按图做不出来、哪里冷却会变形、哪里出不了模。这些全部在开模之前回到您手上。
模具归谁、设计归谁，在开工前谈定。模具是您的。
工厂的价和我们的价分开列。拆不到行的数字，不该出现在发票上。
走访、验货、拼柜、单证，每一项在开始之前都有明确的价格。不让您在页面底部才发现。
定金给工厂，尾款在验货通过之后。钱在货挣到它的时候才动。
有些询盘我们会拒绝。拒掉一个需求，您只花一封邮件；接错一个，您花一个柜。
