A China sourcing agent who finds the supplier, not just a link.
A China sourcing agent to find suppliers, negotiate pricing, vet samples, manage shipping and connect suppliers to your store, hourly, with no minimum order.
What a sourcing agent takes off your plate.
Suppliers ghost after the deposit
No one is vetting the factory before money moves.
Samples never match the listing
What arrives isn't what was agreed.
Shipping costs are a surprise
Freight quotes come in after the order is already placed.
Tasks your sourcing agent handles every week.
Your sourcing agent works directly with manufacturers and trading companies, not just marketplace listings. As a product sourcing service, this covers supplier vetting, sample review, price negotiation and connecting the supplier to your store or dropshipping supplier feed.

Questions about hiring a sourcing agent.
What does a China sourcing agent do?
Finds and vets suppliers, negotiates price and terms, reviews samples, and manages shipping and quality checks on your behalf.
Is there a minimum order to use a sourcing agent?
No. You pay for the hours worked, not a percentage of order value, so it works for a single test order or an ongoing supplier relationship.
How much does a sourcing agent cost?
From $5.62/hr on a full-time dedicated plan ($899 for 160 hours a month). You can also buy a 3-hour block for $33, pay $12/hr with no expiry, or try it for a $1 platform fee.
How fast can my sourcing agent start?
The same day. We keep a standby pool of vetted VAs, so there is no recruiting wait on hourly, quarterly or dedicated plans.
Is my sourcing agent a real person?
Yes. Every sourcing agent is a trained human with expertise in this field. They use AI to work faster, then rewrite and check the output, so your work is original and never generic.
How do I get started and send tasks?
Register, pick a plan and subscribe through PayPal (Forever Free is a $1 monthly platform fee). Then send tasks through your client portal, by email, from your own CRM, or on WhatsApp.
How do I track the work?
Your client portal shows live task status, hours used and left, chat on each task, and every file and report in one place. A team lead reviews each task before it reaches you.
