China sourcing service
China sourcing agent for Amazon, Etsy and online sellers
Cambridge China Bridge helps online sellers buy direct from Chinese factories: moving from Alibaba resellers to a factory, replacing a supplier whose quality has slipped, or launching an own-logo product, with our own staff in China checking the factory and inspecting the goods before they ship.
What you get
- No minimum order on our side; the factory's own minimum is stated in the quote before you commit.
- Own-logo products and custom packaging from a few hundred units, with samples approved before production starts.
- A new factory found and checked against your approved sample and specification when your current supplier's quality slips.
- Inspection before shipment by our own staff in China; a failed inspection means the goods are held for rework and you decide when they ship.
- £0 sourcing fee or commission on the goods order: one landed price with duty and VAT to the UK address you name, or an itemised quote.
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.

Questions buyers ask
Can you take over from my Alibaba supplier?
Yes. Send the listing or the product and your specification; we find and check factories that make it, and you compare samples before you switch.
Is there a minimum order?
Not on our side. A first order of a few hundred units is normal work for us; the factory's own minimum is confirmed in the quote.
Can the goods go to my own warehouse?
Yes. Delivery is door to door to the UK address you name, with UK customs, duty and VAT handled.
