Our work

We run the China side so you do not have to

Most brands lose money in the gap between placing an order and receiving sellable stock. That gap — supplier selection, quality gates, freight and the last mile — is exactly where we operate.

Our services

Six services that cover the whole journey

Take all six as an end to end programme, or take the one piece you are missing. Most clients start with sourcing and add inspection and freight once the first order lands.

AI assisted operations

Our AI automation runs the order desk in China

Sourcing usually breaks in the admin, not the manufacturing — quotes sit in inboxes, samples go untracked and a late vessel is noticed too late. Our automation layer runs the routine work so the team focuses on the calls that need a human.

  • Quote comparison, normalisedEvery factory quote in one comparable table.
  • Order status without chasingOne reference across every PO, sample and shipment.
  • Exceptions surface earlyDelays and defects raise an alert automatically.
  • Documents assembled automaticallyCustoms paperwork collated per shipment.

Client feedback

What the brands say

The part that matters most to a first time importer is knowing somebody is accountable when something goes wrong.

★★★★★

The compliance side is what sold us. We had quotes from three factories and no idea which one could actually give us a CPC. Source Hunting walked us through it and we shipped without a single documentation hold up.

Custom tooling was the part we were most nervous about. They handled the mould negotiation, the sampling and the paperwork, and kept us updated at every stage instead of going quiet for weeks.

Packaging arrived on the launch date, which almost never happens. They caught two claims on our artwork that would have been a problem, before it went to print.

We source across categories, and we know the rules for each

The unit price is the easy part. What sinks importers is compliance, and it is different for every category. Pick yours to see what applies.

How do you charge for sourcing?
For most projects we work on a percentage of the order value, agreed before we start, with no charge for the initial sourcing search and quote comparison. Inspections and photography are quoted as fixed fees per job. We put the model in writing at the start so there are no surprise line items.
Do I have to buy through you, or do I get the factory contact?
Both models are available. Managed purchasing means we place and pay the order and you deal with one invoice. Direct introduction means we hand over the factory relationship after verification and charge for the sourcing work only. Tell us which you want and we will price accordingly.
What is the minimum order you will work with?
It depends on the product. Simple items can start in the low hundreds of units, while anything needing custom tooling usually needs volume to justify the mould cost. We tell you the realistic MOQ for your product before you commit to anything.
Who owns the tooling and the moulds?
You do, when you pay for them. We put ownership in writing in the supplier agreement so you are not locked to one factory by a mould you already paid for.
Can you ship straight into Amazon FBA?
Yes. We handle FNSKU labelling, carton labelling, box content and appointment booking, and we can prep in the US first if you would rather inspect before it goes into Amazon.
What happens if the goods fail inspection?
You get the report with photographs before the balance payment is released, which is the point of inspecting at that stage. From there the options are rework, discount or reject, and we negotiate that with the factory on your behalf.

We reply within one business day. Your details are not shared with any factory until you approve it.
