FAQs
- Q?What does your company do for my project?

- Q?What if I could not find a product in China after my sourcing?
-
A.
There are probably quite a few reasons that you could not find the product you are after:
*There are many suppliers in China, however some suppliers do not advertise themselves on big websites. Therefore you could not find their product information from online sourcing.
*Some suppliers have not translated their website into English, and you could not find their products either.
*Your products are related to special design, technology, materials etc, and no China suppliers can make your products.
*Some suppliers did not tell you the truth in that they actually can make your products, but they just do so for a number of reasons.
Based on the above, we will analyse each situation and provide solutions. For example, if your products are made of special materials and no China suppliers can make the products, we will use all our resources to match some suppliers and check if they can provide what your are after. - Q?What do I need to be ready to source from China?
-
A.
There are lots of things you need to prepare in advance, and a few points listed below for your reference:
*Regarding your project, the more specifications you can provide, the more accurate quotes suppliers can offer.
*Suppliers may ask for an increase of price for a number of reasons. Sometimes their reasons are legitimate, sometimes not. Therefore you need to understand what the true situation is.
*Quality may be another concern for you. You want a good price but not at the expense of the quality of your product. Therefore finding the balance between the two key elements is what you need to know.
For your benefit, whether you use our service or not, you can just chat with our friendly staff and have more information before you start your project. - Q?How do I protect my design related to intellectual property?
-
A.
If you hand your project to us and inform us that your design needs to be protected, we will first choose the suppliers who are interested in your project, and then ask these suppliers to sign a nondisclosure agreement for your intellectual property. After that, we let the suppliers know your project. You can also buy our template and put your information in to suit your project and thus protect your intellectual property.
