Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using a China sourcing agent

What does a China sourcing agent do?

A China sourcing agent acts as your on-the-ground representative in China. We find qualified factories from our 100,000+ network, negotiate prices in Chinese, manage samples and production, run quality inspections at the factory, and coordinate shipping to your door. You describe what you need -- we handle everything else.

Why should I use SupplyPilot instead of sourcing on Alibaba myself?

Alibaba shows you self-reported factory listings with no on-site verification. SupplyPilot physically visits factories, verifies their production capabilities, negotiates prices 10-30% lower than listed rates, and conducts quality inspections before shipment. Our transparent 3-5% commission typically pays for itself through better pricing and risk reduction.

What products can you source from China?

We source across 15 major product categories including small home appliances, hardware and tools, electronics, machinery, auto parts, textiles, fasteners, consumer products, building materials, medical equipment, and more. If it's manufactured in China, our Ningbo-based team can source it for you.

How much does SupplyPilot's sourcing service cost?

Our Starter plan charges 5% of the order value (minimum $1,000 project). Our Pro plan offers 3-5% commission with volume discounts (minimum $2,500). There are no hidden fees -- shipping, factory costs, and inspection fees are quoted separately and transparently.

Where is SupplyPilot located?

SupplyPilot is headquartered in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China -- one of the country's largest manufacturing hubs and a major port city. Our team regularly visits factories across Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Guangdong provinces.
