Our End-to-End China Sourcing Services & Pricing

We’re more than just a sourcing agent—we’re your full-service FBA partner in China:

Sourcing (Supplier Discovery & Negotiation)

  • We shortlist vetted factories (not just trading companies), collect like-for-like quotes, and negotiate MOQs, tooling, and terms.

  • We run category fit checks (materials, compliance, certifications) and coordinate samples you can compare side by side.

  • Recommend the best option with a landed-cost model and realistic lead times.

  • Typical ranges: project fee or 5–10% of PO value (scope/complexity/volume dependent).

Quality Control (QC & Factory Audits)

  • We define AQL by SKU, then perform pre-production audits, in-line (DUPRO) checks, and final inspections before balance payment.
  • Verify measurements, function, finish, packaging, and labeling—backed by photo/video evidence.
  • You receive a pass/fail report, defect counts, corrective actions, and re-inspection if needed.
  • Typical ranges: $180–$320 per on-site inspection (city/scope dependent).

FBA Prep in China (Labeling, Kitting & Compliance)

  • We handle FNSKU labeling, poly-bagging, bubble-wrap, kitting/bundles, carton labels, and carton consolidation/pallet optimization.

  • We provide prep checklists and photo proof so cartons arrive FBA-ready.

  • Typical ranges: $0.10–$1.50 per unit by task; carton handling/storage as needed.

Ship to Amazon FBA from China (AGL/SEND, DDP/FOB)

  • When we use AGL/SEND: standard cartons, predictable replenishment, and Amazon-integrated appointments.

  • When we use a forwarder (FOB/DDP): special handling, oversized/fragile freight, mixed FBA + 3PL routing, or tighter ETA control.

  • Our rule of thumb: straightforward shipments → AGL/SEND; special requirements → forwarder.

Quality & Compliance (AQL, labeling, packaging)

  • We set AQL thresholds (critical/major/minor) per SKU so pass/fail is objective.

  • We place FNSKUs and warnings correctly; we generate carton labels (SKU/Qty/Box #/Weight) that scan cleanly at receiving.

  • We confirm packaging durability (drop and edge-crush checks) before freight to reduce damages and chargebacks.

Frequently asked questions

What is FBA sourcing from China?

FBA sourcing from China means finding, purchasing, and preparing goods with verified manufacturers—handling negotiation, inspection, packaging, and shipment directly to Amazon FBA warehouses.

How do I find a reliable supplier in China for Amazon FBA?

Work with our on‑the‑ground sourcing team: we vet factories, negotiate pricing, and enforce quality checks so you don’t have to.

What’s the typical minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQs vary by product and factory often between 100–1,000 units. But we negotiate terms to suit your budget and scale.

Can you help with private labeling and custom packaging?

Absolutely. We manage branding, custom packaging design, labeling, and full ODM/OEM support to give your products a professional edge.

Can you ship directly from China into Amazon?

Yes. We routinely ship direct via AGL/SEND or through forwarders. The key is correct labels, compliant cartons, and a booked delivery window.

Which shipping options do you offer for FBA?

We coordinate air freight, sea freight, and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipments, handling customs clearance and delivery to any Amazon FBA center worldwide.

How long does the sourcing process take?

On average, sourcing to FBA delivery takes 25–45 days, depending on order size and logistics choice—our team keeps you updated every step of the way.

 

How much do sourcing agents charge?

Most reputable setups land around 5–10% commission or a flat project fee. We’ll quote the structure that fits your order size and complexity.

Is China-side FBA prep reliable?

It is—when you pair final AQL inspection with photo-verified prep and accurate carton labeling. That’s our default approach.

What are the best sites to find suppliers?

Alibaba, 1688, and Global Sources are common starting points; we combine marketplace research with factory verification and audits.

Do we need you if we already have a factory?

Often yes—for QC, prep, and shipping. We can plug into just the parts you need and leave factory pricing untouched.

EXW, FOB, or DDP—what’s best?

FOB is a strong default for clarity and control. We’ll model EXW and DDP so you can choose the best landed cost and risk profile.
