Your Trusted China Sourcing Partner for Gifts & Jewelry

Problem

Collected about 15 links on 1688, but had no Chinese language skills, no RMB payment method, and wiring each supplier separately would be chaotic and risky.

What we did

• Verified each supplier, removed those with weak ratings, clarified specs and tiered pricing in Chinese, and consolidated everything into one English quotation sheet.
• Requested samples from selected suppliers, compared them in our Yiwu office, and shipped all approved items together to the US.
• Placed the first bulk order with three suppliers, paid in RMB on the client’s behalf, followed production, ran pre-shipment checks, and combined everything into one FBA shipment.

Result

The seller avoided opening Chinese payment accounts, received consistent samples and bulk goods, and launched ~20 SKUs from 3 suppliers in one consolidated shipment with clear documentation.

Problem

Needed 40–50 different gift items with low quantities per style. Local wholesalers had limited variety, Alibaba MOQs were high, and purchasing from many factories separately would create freight chaos.

What we did

• Aligned a realistic test plan (budget, shelf space, seasonal themes) and curated a mixed assortment from suppliers willing to support small but repeatable orders.
• Placed and tracked multiple micro orders, had everything delivered to our Yiwu office for checking, then repacked by category and consolidated into one shipment.
• Prepared a combined invoice/packing list and arranged a forwarder experienced with small retailers to simplify customs clearance.

Result

The shop owner received one clean shipment, filled a display area without overstocking, and quickly identified the best-selling categories for the next order.

Problem

Previous supplier from Alibaba delivered inconsistent plating and finishing, but the brand feared switching because they lacked better factory connections.

What we did

• Mapped current SKUs/issues, shortlisted two alternative factories experienced with EU exports, and collected comparative samples.
• Inspected samples in Yiwu, shared comparison photos, and aligned simple quality checkpoints (finish, clasps, plating color).
• Supervised the first bulk order at the new factory, visited during production, and ran a pre-shipment inspection with photo/video reports.

Result

The brand switched factories without delays, saw fewer visible defects, and expanded their lineup with confidence for the next season.
