Built around what actually goes wrong.
Sourcing is the job. Verification and inspection are the checks inside it — the part that stops a good shortlist from becoming a bad order.
A shortlist worth comparing, and someone to chase it.
Marketplaces give you forty identical listings and no way to tell them apart. We narrow the field to three or four factories that genuinely fit your product and volume, get comparable quotes, and stay with the order through production and the pre-shipment check.
- 01BriefProduct, target cost, volume, certification needs and destination market. Photos or a sample help.
- 02Shortlist, 5–7 working daysVetted factories with real capacity for your volume — not just the best-optimised listing.
- 03Quotes & samplesLine-by-line quotation comparison, sample coordination and consolidated feedback to each supplier.
- 04Order managementProduction schedule, milestone checks, pre-shipment inspection and handover to your forwarder.
What you receive
- Shortlist with factory profiles and contact verification
- Quotation comparison, normalised to the same spec
- Sample handling with a written feedback loop
- Negotiated terms: price, MOQ, lead time, payment
- Production timeline with milestone checks
- Shipping handover, documents and booking support
- One fee on order value, inspection included — quoted per order
Someone chasing the order, and checking it before it ships.
An order placed is not an order progressing. We hold the schedule, chase the factory and tell you what changed. Inside that, two checks matter: a factory audit before the deposit, and a pre-shipment check before the balance. Either can also be booked on its own.
- 01Production follow-upA dated schedule, milestone checks, and one written update a week — including the weeks when nothing has happened.
- 02Factory auditLicence, premises, equipment, workforce and capacity — an unannounced walk of the floor where the relationship allows it.
- 03Spec into a checklistDimensions, materials, function, packaging, labelling and artwork — agreed before anyone visits.
- 04Sampling planCritical 0, major 2.5, minor 4.0 at ISO 2859-1 Level II. Lots under 300 units are checked 100% instead.
- 05VerdictPass, pass with rework, or fail — every defect photographed and counted, with a corrective action list and re-inspection date.
What you receive
- Business licence and entity verification
- Factory profile: site size, staff, production lines
- Sampling record: lot size, code letter, accept and reject limits
- Measurements against your tolerance, plus function and packaging tests
- Defect classification with photo evidence for every defect
- Go / no-go recommendation before the deposit, and a pass or fail before shipment
Where we fit
Three ways to buy from China — and where we fit.
We are not the cheapest option and not the largest. Here is the honest comparison, including the cases where you should choose someone else.
| Trading company | Marketplace + inspection app | JR Sourcing | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supplier search | Their own factories only | You do it, then hope | 3–4 vetted factories, quotes compared |
| Price negotiation | Theirs, not yours | None | In Mandarin, against your brief |
| Order follow-up | Yes, but you can't see it | Nothing between jobs | One written update a week |
| Quality check | Their own QC, their conclusion | Gig inspectors, varying quality | Independent, against your spec |
| Who you talk to | A salesperson | Support queue | One person, start to finish |
| What you pay | Hidden in the unit price | Per job, cheapest quote wins | Fixed, quoted before anything starts |
