Q: What kind of products do you source from
low cost manufacturers?
A: We can source virtually any products including computer
software.
Q: How much do you charge for your services?
A: We will provide all inclusive landed cost deliver
products to your door which includes factory cost, shipping,
customs clearance, tariff, and our small service fees. Our
client normally will get 20-70% cost savings. We usually don't
recommend our clients import from overseas if this all inclusive
cost is less than 15% of current price. So our services actually
are “free" and you get cost savings plus we monitor
quality and shipping for you.
Q: How can you guarantee lowest costs?
A: First, we have access to over 20 millions manufacturers
in Asia. Second, many Asian manufacturers optimize their customer base
to maximize their profit margin. We will investigate their
customer base to avoid those manufacturers with higher profit
margins. Third, we track raw materials prices in Asia markets
which help us to negotiate better prices with suppliers. Forth,
all products are shipped to client warehouse direct from
manufacturer floor. There are no extra warehousing, storage,
domestic shipping costs. Last
and most important, we utilize competitive quotation process to have multiple manufacturers compete for
your business ensure our clients get the lowest costs..
Q: What is the biggest issue in off shore sourcing?
A: Communication, communication, and communication!
Cultural and language barriers, different mindset, and
management style cause many communication problems which in turn
cause quality problems. Never assume anything. We speak in
English and Chinese. We have seen some Purchase Specifications
translated in Chinese by some factories and that explained why
buyer can't get qualified products. We make sure Chinese
factories fully understand specifications. We have set up
collecting phone and fax so our Chinese manufacturers can call
and fax us at any time without paying international phone bill.
We will also have three-way conference phone calls and video
conference to eliminate communication barriers.
Q: How can you protect my design not been sold to my
competitors?
A: All our suppliers will sign Non-Disclosure Agreement.
We will also visit manufacturers to enforce the NDA. Usually, we
don't work with these factories that have direct business
relationship with your competitors.

A: Please contact us and provide,
1, samples, drawings, and/or purchasing specifications
