China Sourcing Agent | Supplier Sourcing, Factory Audit,QC,FBA,Alibaba

Sourcing from China shouldn't feel like gambling. I'm your eyes, ears, and negotiator on the ground — a former brand founder who ran the full factory-to-storefront chain (OEM orders, QC, and domestic e-commerce stores), now working for YOUR side of the table. 💼 What I handle — end to end, from RFQ to FBA: 🔹 Find & vet real factories — 1688 + factory network; license checks, on-site audits, filtering trading companies posing as manufacturers 🔹 Price negotiation in Mandarin — face-to-face with factory bosses, no "foreigner tax" 🔹 Sampling & OEM/ODM — bilingual spec sheets and photo/video reports; specs locked before bulk production 🔹 Lab testing coordination — direct accounts with SGS, TÜV, BV, Intertek & Eurofins; I book, ship samples, and verify reports with the issuing lab 🔹 Quality control — pre-production, in-line, and final random inspection to agreed AQL 🔹 Logistics & FBA prep — labeling, barcoding, carton compliance; sea/air/DDP via tier-1 forwarders with direct carrier contracts, plus YunExpress / YanWen / 4PX for small parcels and overseas-warehouse (GoodCang) options ✅ Why me: 🌟 100% transparent — no hidden markups, no factory kickbacks 🌟 Mobile across China — I travel to any factory door for audits, inspections, and face-to-face issue resolution; can be stationed in one city for long-term projects 🌟 Built for long-term partnerships — I run monthly SKU-expansion programs for a $14M/year Amazon seller: factory sourcing → sampling → lab testing → bulk order → FBA delivery 🌟 Everything documented in writing — spec sheets, photo reports, audit checklists; nothing lost in translation 🚀 How we start: send ① product ② target price & qty ③ timeline. I reply within 24 hours with a sourcing plan. No upfront fee until you're ready to move. 📩 Click "Invite to Job" — let's get your next product sourced the right way.
