Before we work together
How is the service priced?
The initial review is free. Remote sourcing, market visits and follow-up support are quoted for your project, with scope, fees and timing agreed before work begins. There is no subscription or automatic charge.
How do you assess suppliers and offers?
I compare the available evidence against your requirements and explain the trade-offs. Listing information, supplier confirmations and open questions are clearly distinguished. Product quality and final order terms still need appropriate sample, inspection or purchase checks.
Which products are a good starting point?
My starting focus is electronics accessories around Shenzhen and Huaqiangbei, such as phone stands, cases and desk accessories. Send your brief first; I’ll assess the category and requirements before accepting it.
