China sourcing service
Goods from several Chinese suppliers, checked and shipped together
Cambridge China Bridge collects goods from several Chinese suppliers, whether factories, 1688 or Alibaba sellers, checks them and ships them to you as one consignment, with UK customs, duty and VAT handled and delivery to your door.
What you get
- Goods from several suppliers collected and shipped together, rather than as separate small parcels.
- Each supplier's goods checked by our own staff in China before they are packed together.
- No minimum order on our side, so a mixed consignment of small quantities is normal work for us.
- One landed price covering the goods, freight, UK customs, duty and VAT to your door, or an itemised quote.
- Suppliers paid and chased in Chinese by our own staff.
Cambridge China Bridge in brief
- Buying from Chinese factories since 2021, for our own businesses and for clients on the same terms.
- Our own staff are based in China, at two bases: the Pearl River Delta (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan) and the Yangtze River Delta (Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu). They visit factories themselves.
- £0 sourcing fee, commission or retainer on goods orders. Supplier checks are included; audits and inspections are usually included in the quote, with third-party checks charged extra.
- No minimum order on our side, from a single-unit trial to full containers; the factory's own minimum applies separately.
- In one project, a UK EV charging operator cut unit cost by 70% and scaled 3× faster. In another, a multi-site Cambridge café chain saved 50% on packaging.
- Free landed-price comparison within 72 hours for an off-the-shelf product. A reference call with a past client can be arranged, with that client's agreement.
- A UK company in Cambridge and London: Cambridge China Bridge is the trading name of Piggy Pineapple Ltd, company number 14385590.
