On site quality Control
Being there during production is key. You can have all the planning and design in the world but what matters is what happens on the product line. We can be there to check spec, materials, boxing, wastage so you know if there is a problem before it arrives.
Negotiation
Things get done a bit differently in China and approach to price is no different. It's a bit of an art and industry knowledge is key, but there are some general guidelines around things like negotiation time, terms and what to look for we can help you with.
Storage in China
Great for new products or ideas you want to test out. With local storage you can mitigate large order volumes and international freight. You also save on duties and it's cheaper than Amazon FBA or other western fulfillment options
