Quotes to suit how you buy: one delivered price, or an itemised quote with the factory cost, freight, duty and our service fee shown separately. Open-book detail is available on request. Our margin is included in the quoted price or shown separately as a service fee. The service fee depends on the agreed scope, including products, samples, inspections and ongoing supply. For a first order, there is no separate sourcing fee: our margin is already included in one price per unit delivered to your UK address. Off-the-shelf products receive a free landed price within 72 hours. Audits and inspections are usually included in the quote for an order placed with us; complex checks that need a third party are charged extra, agreed first.
Yes. There is no minimum on our side, and a small first order is often the sensible way to start: it proves the factory before you commit volume. Factory minimums are a separate thing and they are real, but we can consolidate orders or work through stock products to get a small run made, and the same team takes you on to repeat orders and full containers.
For a UK delivered goods order, we agree who sells and imports the goods, and how duty and VAT are handled, before dispatch. A UK VAT invoice on a domestic sale is different from the import VAT evidence issued to the importer. Any VAT recovery depends on your business and the transaction; ask your finance team to check it.
Roughly two months door to door by sea (including customs and delivery at both ends), or about two weeks by air.
A UK China sourcing agent finds and checks Chinese factories for you, negotiates price and minimum order, manages samples and production, inspects the goods before shipment and arranges delivery, so you deal with one UK company instead of an overseas supplier. For custom or OEM products we agree your specification, work through it with suitable factories and review their quotes with you. We are a UK-registered company (Companies House 14385590) with our own staff in China, and we take no commission or kickbacks from factories on your order.
Tell us the product, quantity and destination. Our own staff in China verify factories, follow production and inspect before shipment. We reply the same working day to confirm receipt and arrange next steps.
