How it works

You order. We deliver.

The same sourcing and quality work covers small mixed orders, repeat supply and full containers for UK and overseas buyers. UK door-to-door delivery is available; elsewhere, confirm delivery terms for the shipment.

Compare services for your order

  1. Agree the role and brief

    • We can be the primary supplier, qualify a second factory or manage your existing Chinese supplier.
    • Confirm product, destination, volume, drawings or samples, and buyer approval gates.

  2. Verify the factory

    • Agree a factory-audit scope covering identity, processes, capacity and quality records.
    • Agree whether our team, a China-based organisation or an independent third party issues the report.

  3. Approve samples and first articles

    • Check samples, packaging artwork and any drawing revision against the agreed brief.
    • For engineered parts, agree first-article measurements and buyer release before production.

  4. Control production quality

    • Arrange agreed in-production and pre-shipment checks, including packaging print and batch evidence.
    • The manufacturer normally arranges laboratory tests; the buyer approves the applicable evidence and deviations.

  5. Ship on agreed terms

    • Quote ex-works, to a Chinese port or to the buyer's destination port.
    • UK door-to-door is available; overseas door-to-door depends on destination and shipment.

  6. Deliver and release

    • For UK door-to-door goods orders, agree the delivered price and import handling before dispatch.
    • Outside the UK, the importer and local broker confirm permits, taxes and clearance; the buyer approves final release.
On the ground

A physical presence where it matters

We cut out the "sales agents" by having our own people permanently based in China — in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta, sourcing nationwide from there.

South China

Deep roots in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong — the manufacturing and logistics hub.

East China

Direct coverage of Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta, the engine of the Chinese economy.

Peace of mind

Buying from China, with UK peace of mind

We remove the fear of international trade.

Standard UK VAT invoices

For a UK domestic sale, VAT is shown on our invoice where applicable. Your ability to reclaim it follows the normal VAT rules for your business.

Sample-first policy

Air-shipped samples for your physical approval before you commit.

Compliance checks

We check product-specific supplier documents and test evidence against the agreed brief. The manufacturer normally arranges lab tests; the buyer approves the evidence.

Secure payments

We handle all international transfers via our UK, HK and China accounts.
