The China sourcing agent embedded in the factory cities

Every product has its city, and our desks sit in the four that matter most to buyers. We also work the other clusters daily: tooling in Dongguan (CNC), shoes in Wenzhou (footwear), toys in Shantou (toys) and the Ningbo export gateway (cluster map).

Why Qiao

Why choose our China sourcing agency?

Transparent feesA flat, visible service fee agreed before we start. No percentage hidden in the factory price, no kickbacks: the industry’s worst habit is the reason our clients switched to us.
The original invoiceYou see the factory’s own invoice on every order. What the factory charges and what we charge are two separate lines, always.
Inspection before payment1-by-1 pre-shipment inspection with photos and video from the factory floor. The balance only moves when the goods match the spec.
China + 1 readyOur group also runs sourcing desks in Vietnam and India. If your category prices better elsewhere, we tell you so and can run the comparison.

Testimonials

Clients love working with Qiao

★★★★★

“Our first mixed container from Yiwu: 38 suppliers consolidated into one shipment, checked carton by carton at their warehouse. The paperwork was cleaner than our domestic orders.”

Laura B. · E-commerce retailer, Netherlands

★★★★★

“Qiao requoted our Alibaba shortlist on 1688 and factory-direct: 23% below the listings on identical goods, with the factory invoice attached to prove it.”

Mark D. · Marketplace seller, United States

★★★★★

“They walked us out of a mold-ownership trap before we signed. The tooling is in our name, T1 samples were measured line by line, and production has been boring ever since.”

Julien P. · Consumer hardware startup, France

★★★★★

“The 1-by-1 inspection on our first electronics order rejected 4% of units before shipping, at the factory’s cost. That is the service, right there.”

Emma S. · Retail chain buyer, United Kingdom
