Nicholas D.
China Sourcing Agent | Factory Audits & OEM Procurement
Direct factory sourcing from China. No trading companies, no hidden markups. I source from China for buyers in Europe, the US and the CIS. I work from Tbilisi in your business hours, in English, Italian or Russian, while my partner team in China handles the factory floors in Mandarin: licence checks, sample chasing, price negotiation, inspection on the ground. That structure is the point. Most buyers choose between an agent in Shenzhen who is asleep when they need an answer, and a Western consultant who has never stood inside the factory. You get both sides. What I source 🪑 Furniture and interiors: production and bespoke furniture, lighting, stone, wood and joinery, hardware and fittings 🏗️ Construction and industrial: building materials, metal extrusion profiles, steel and aluminium fabrication, vehicle components 🔌 Technical hardware: POS terminals, motherboards, computer components, electronic assemblies 🧵 Apparel and consumer OEM: activewear, streetwear, custom garments, private label consumer goods How I work • Direct factory shortlists with business licence verification. Trading companies are excluded, and I show you the evidence I used to exclude them. • Quotes against your exact specification, not catalogue listings. Unit price at your volumes, MOQ, lead time, EXW / FOB / DDP. • Sample coordination and specification confirmation before you authorise a production run. • Factory checks and inspection before shipment, carried out by my team in China. • Amazon FBA and private label supplier research. I do not take retail arbitrage, dropshipping, replica or unbranded luxury work, or requests for scraped supplier lists. Send me your specification, drawing or a reference photo. Within 24 hours you get a straight answer on whether it is sourceable, at roughly what cost, and where the risk sits.
