Get a factory price

What it costs

We publish our prices. In a market where the usual secret is an undisclosed factory kickback, that is the point.

Sourcing commission

4 to 8 percent

Of the order value, depending on volume and complexity. Invoiced to you: half at deposit, half at shipment. Nothing from the factory side. Ever.

Price benchmark report

EUR 199 per product

Charged only if we find your product cheaper than you pay today. If we cannot beat your price, the report is free.

Factory search project

Quoted per project

For a new product or a whole range: we screen the factories that make it across China, visit the shortlist, negotiate, pull samples and hand you a ready-to-order file.

Factory visit, audit or inspection

Day rate

For buyers who already have a supplier and want eyes on the line. Quoted in advance, travel at cost, report within 48 hours of the visit.

A worked example

Example only. On an order of EUR 50,000, a commission of 4 to 8 percent comes to EUR 2,000 to 4,000. Half is invoiced at deposit and half at shipment, so EUR 1,000 to 2,000 each time. The rate for your order depends on volume and complexity. The goods themselves are invoiced to you by the factory.

Questions buyers ask us

Do you take any money from the factory?

No. Our commission is invoiced to you and published on this page. If a factory offers us a kickback we refuse it and tell you. A sourcing agent paid by both sides works for neither.

What is the minimum order?

We work with buyers who can fill at least part of a container and reorder, typically companies spending from around 200,000 euros a year on Asian goods. Below that, a European wholesaler is usually the better deal, and we will tell you so.

What if we already have a supplier and only want a check?

Then you hire us for a factory visit or an inspection on a day rate. Many buyers start there.
