Sheikh S.
China Sourcing Agent | Product Sourcing | Alibaba 1688 | QC Inspection
China sourcing agent in Guangzhou, fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese. TOP Rated, avg 4.8★ reviews on all past jobs. I do product sourcing on Alibaba, 1688 and Taobao, verify factories in person, inspect quality, and ship to Amazon FBA or your warehouse. Many "factories" on Alibaba are trading companies adding 15–30% on top. Because I live in Guangzhou and speak Chinese, I deal with factory owners directly, on WeChat, by phone and on-site, with no translator in between. I check business licenses, visit production lines in Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Shenzhen and Yiwu, and attend the Canton Fair for clients, and buy on the domestic 1688 market, where prices are often lower than on Alibaba. What I do • Product sourcing: 3–5 verified manufacturers with quotes, MOQ, lead time and a side-by-side comparison sheet • Alibaba, 1688 and Taobao buying: domestic suppliers and low MOQs. I handle payment and pickup in China • Supplier verification and factory audits: license check, factory vs. trading company, on-site photos and video • Price and MOQ negotiation in Chinese • Sample consolidation: samples from several suppliers checked and shipped to you in one box • QC inspection: pre-shipment inspection to AQL standards, photo report before you pay the balance • Private label and OEM: custom logo, packaging and product changes with the factory • Shipping: Amazon FBA prep and labels, DDP or FOB, sea and air freight through trusted forwarders Recent projects • Mortise door locks: factory sourcing and sampling • Stainless steel chains: supplier search and price negotiation • Turkish-style mosaic table lamps: sourced and delivered end to end to Saudi Arabia • Seasonal home décor: suppliers and FBA shipments for a US Amazon brand • Canton Fair: met and vetted suppliers in person for clients Categories: home and kitchen, electronics and accessories, apparel and bags, toys, beauty and pet products. How we work 1. You send the product link or photo, target price and quantity 2. I shortlist and verify suppliers, usually within 3–5 working days 3. You approve samples, then I follow production and inspect before shipment 4. Goods ship to Amazon FBA, your warehouse or your forwarder I work with Amazon FBA sellers, e-commerce brands, wholesalers and retailers. Services clients hire me for: China sourcing agent, product sourcing, Alibaba sourcing, 1688 sourcing, Taobao buying, supplier verification, factory audit, factory visits with live video, Canton Fair representation, QC inspection, sample consolidation, private label, OEM manufacturing, Amazon FBA prep, DDP shipping, Mandarin–English interpreting. No supplier commissions. You pay only my fee, so my advice is always on your side. Send me your product and target quantity. I'll reply with a sourcing plan and quote within a few hours.
