You're In Shenzhen. We're There With You.

A Shenzhen-based sourcing companion who physically joins you in the markets and factories. One clear day, a transparent rate, no supplier kickbacks. Tell us your plan and we'll discuss the details.

Why A Local, In Person

Not A Screen. A Person On The Ground.

Most sourcing agents work remotely — they email factories you'll never meet and send you photos you didn't take. We're different: we're based in Pingshan, Shenzhen, and we physically walk the markets and factory floors with you.

That means real-time translation of the technical spec, a second pair of eyes on quality, and negotiation happening in the room — not over a three-day email thread.

You get a local who knows which floors are dead ends, which suppliers vanish after deposit, and which market actually stocks your category. The risk of flying 10,000 km and getting lost drops to near zero.

Pricing is transparent: factory price plus a flat day rate. We never take a markup on the product itself, so our incentive is finding you the right supplier — not the one that pays us most.

Proof, Not Promises

A Real Day. A Real Outcome.

CASE STUDY

Hardware Founder, Germany

A Berlin-based hardware founder came in looking for a supplier for a niche consumer electronics product. He'd spent 4 months sourcing remotely with no sample he trusted. One full day in Shenzhen with us reset the picture.

  • 30-piece sample quote signed on-site
  • Photo + spec documentation for remote decisions

Fit

Is This For You?

✓ Great Fit If You…

  • Have a specific product or category in mind
  • Are flying to Shenzhen, or seriously considering it
  • Want a real human screening vendors, not a freelancer on a screen
  • Value transparent pricing over the cheapest quote

✕ Not Right If You…

  • Want only remote sourcing (we offer it, just not on this page)
  • Don't have any product idea yet — different package
  • Are chasing the absolute rock-bottom price with no quality bar
The Process

From "I'm Landing" To A Plan."

STEP 01

Brief

You send a 5-minute product brief. We confirm scope, market choice, and a draft route.

A 30-minute video call 3–5 days out. We lock the day's stops and align on trade-offs.

STEP 03

The Day

7–9 hours on the ground: 3–5 targeted stops, lunch, supplier intros, sample pickup.

FAQ

Before You Book.

Do I need to speak Chinese?
No. We translate at every stop — markets, showrooms, factory floors. You focus on the product. We handle the conversation.
What's the typical day look like?
Pre-trip brief a few days before. On the day: pickup in Pingshan, 3–5 targeted stops based on what you actually need, lunch at a market-side restaurant, supplier introductions, sample handling. You leave with vendor contacts, photos, and a clear next-step plan.
Can you cover specific markets beyond Huaqiangbei?
Yes. Huaqiangbei, SEG, Saige, Sungang, the textile hubs in Keqi / Buji, Pearl River Delta factories — we route based on your product and adjust on the day.
How do you handle factory verification after the day?
If a supplier looks promising, we keep the relationship warm after the trip — second-visit factory checks, sample shipment tracking, and a basic QC pass. The day is the entry point, not the whole service.
What's not included in the daily rate?
Hotel, flights, food, product samples (paid on-site at cost), and the suppliers' own shipping. The day rate covers the guide, translation, route planning, and on-the-ground coordination. We send a one-page breakdown before you arrive.
