Your local sourcing eyes in Guangdong, China.
An independent China sourcing agent for supplier verification, factory audits, live video factory visits, and pre-shipment inspection — so overseas buyers can confirm a Chinese supplier is a real factory and lower their risk before wiring a deposit.
Sourcing from China, from far away
You found a supplier online or at a trade show. The quote looks good, the photos look great. But from the other side of the world, how do you really know?
Is this supplier a real factory — or just a trading company reselling someone else's goods?
Will the bulk production actually match the sample you approved?
Can you trust this supplier enough to send a deposit before anything is verified?
Are the packaging, labels, and cartons correct before the goods ship?
And when you can't fly to China yourself — who goes and looks at the factory for you?
How I help you verify
Factory Video Visit
I travel to the factory in Guangdong or nearby and connect with you live over WhatsApp, Zoom, or Google Meet — so you walk the floor with me in real time. Can't join live? I record the full walkthrough and send photos and video.
LIVE WALKTHROUGH AVAILABLESupplier Verification
I confirm the supplier genuinely exists — company details, address, contact person, main products, and basic credentials checked on the ground, not just on screen.
Sample Checking
I check your samples for appearance, packaging, labelling, quantity, and obvious quality issues, then send you organised photos with clear English feedback.
Pre-shipment Inspection
Before goods leave, I check quantity, packaging, outer cartons, labels, and visible defects, and send a written English inspection report so there are no surprises at the port.

Industry focus
My deepest experience is in household cleaning & home-care products, with hands-on knowledge of how these factories in Guangdong operate, what OEM / ODM looks like, and what buyers should watch for.
Beyond cleaning products
I can also handle basic verification and factory visits for other light-industry and consumer goods across the Pearl River Delta. If your product sits outside cleaning supplies, just tell me what it is — I'll be honest about what I can confirm and what's better left to a specialist inspector.

Fluent English (IELTS 7.0 / TOEIC 805). Clear reporting, no translation gaps with the supplier.
Real factory experience
10+ years in foreign trade across medical devices and cleaning products. I know a working factory when I see one.
OEM / ODM familiar
I understand custom-manufacturing and private-label workflows, so I check the things that matter to your order.
Photos, video & reports
You get documented evidence — images, walkthrough video, and a clear written English report every time.
Flexible for SMEs
Built for small and medium buyers who don't need a giant inspection firm — just reliable eyes on the ground.
Common questions
How do I know if a Chinese supplier is a real factory?
The most reliable way is an on-the-ground check: visiting the registered address, verifying the business license against the original, and confirming the production lines actually exist. I do this in person in Guangdong and send you photos, video, and a written report — so you can see whether the supplier is a genuine manufacturer or just a trading company reselling someone else's goods.
How much does a China sourcing agent charge?
Fees depend on scope. A basic supplier check starts around $120, a full factory video visit around $260, and pre-shipment inspection or sourcing support is quoted per project. I work on fixed, transparent prices confirmed before any work begins — and I take no commission from suppliers, so there are no hidden costs.
Can you verify a supplier I found on Alibaba or 1688?
Yes. Send me the supplier's company name, address, and platform profile from Alibaba, 1688, or Made-in-China. I cross-check the details and, where needed, visit the factory in person to confirm it is real and matches its listing.
Can you do a live video factory visit?
Yes — this is my flagship service. I travel to the factory in Guangdong and connect with you live over WhatsApp, Zoom, or Google Meet so you can walk the floor in real time. If you can't join live, I record the full walkthrough and send photos and video.
Can you visit factories outside Guangdong?
Guangdong and the surrounding Pearl River Delta are my home base, so those trips are fastest and most cost-effective. I can arrange visits to factories in other provinces too — travel time and cost are quoted up front so there are no surprises.
Do you work for the buyer or the supplier?
The buyer — only. You pay me, so I represent your interests. I don't take commissions or kickbacks from factories, which keeps my reporting honest and independent.
Can you guarantee supplier quality?
No honest agent can guarantee that. What I do is give you accurate, documented information — photos, video, and verified facts — so you can make a better-informed decision and significantly lower your risk. The final choice stays with you.
What information do you need before checking a supplier?
To start, I need the supplier's company name and address, any profile or chat links you have (Alibaba, 1688, Made-in-China, etc.), the product involved, and what the supplier has claimed. The more you share, the more thoroughly I can cross-check.
