What I do

I bridge the gap between global brands and the manufacturing powerhouses of China. Based in the heart of the textile and household goods hubs (Keqiao/Shaoxing), I offer 3+ years of on-the-ground expertise in vendor vetting, quality control, and logistics management. My goal is to protect your margins while ensuring your product meets international standards.

Core Deliverables

Verified Supplier Shortlist: A curated list of 3–5 vetted manufacturers with factory audit reports, business license verification, and pricing comparisons.
Sample Consolidation Report: High-definition video/photo inspections (using my iPhone 15 Pro Max for 4K clarity) and a consolidated sample shipment to your location.
Production Monitoring Log: Weekly status updates with "on-the-line" footage to ensure manufacturing timelines and specifications are strictly followed.
Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): A final 50-point quality check report including packaging verification, shipping mark accuracy and carton strength tests.
Logistics & Customs Paperwork: Preparation of all necessary export documentation (Commercial Invoices, Packing Lists, FIRC support) for seamless customs clearance.

Why Hire Me?

Local Advantage: I live 20 minutes from the world’s largest textile market (Keqiao) and have direct access to the Yiwu trade hub.
Technical Edge: I use professional design tools (Adobe Suite) to help you communicate product specifications or packaging designs directly to factories, reducing errors.
Transparent Fees: I work on a flat-fee or milestone basis through Contra, meaning no hidden kickbacks or "hidden markups" on your goods.
Communication: Fluent in English with a deep understanding of Chinese business etiquette (Guanxi) and local shipping regulations.
FAQs
I perform a 3-step verification: 1) Checking their Chinese Business License (营业执照) against government records. 2) Verifying their actual export history. 3) If required, I visit the facility in person to confirm they are a manufacturer and not just a middleman.
No. My business model on Contra is based on a transparent flat fee or milestone-based service. I represent your interests, not the factory's. This allows me to negotiate the absolute lowest "Ex-Works" price for you without bias.
Yes. With my background in Graphic and Brand Design, I can help you prepare professional tech packs and specification sheets. I speak the "design language" and can ensure the factory understands your branding, packaging, and material requirements perfectly.
I provide a detailed Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) report. This includes high-resolution photos and 4K video of the goods, packaging strength tests, and quantity verification. I use my iPhone 15 Pro Max for macro shots to ensure even the smallest details (stitching, texture, finish) are visible to you before you pay the final balance to the factory.
Absolutely. I can receive samples from multiple factories in my Shaoxing/Keqiao office, inspect them all at once, and send them to you in a single consolidated box to save you significantly on international courier costs.
I typically help clients with CIF, FOB or EXW (Ex Works). I can coordinate with your freight forwarder or introduce you to reliable local shipping agents for Sea, Air, or Rail (China-Europe) logistics.
For the goods, most factories require a bank wire (SWIFT). I can help you review their Proforma Invoices to ensure the bank details are correct. My service fee is handled securely through Contra’s escrow/milestone system.
My goal is to catch defects before they leave China. By performing the final inspection before the container is loaded, we have the leverage to make the factory rework the items or provide a discount. Once the goods ship, leverage decreases, which is why my on-the-ground presence is your best insurance.
I have expertise is in Textiles (Fabric/Curtains/Bedding), Household Utensils, Interior Decor, and Furniture. However, I have experience sourcing everything from footwear to stationery.
