How It Works FAQ's

Why should you use China Factory Sourcing?
Importing from China without having your own presence on the ground here is very risky! We regularly get calls from people who have been cheated by some supplier they have found online through trade website. Having sent their payment by western union or T/T these suppliers simply disappear. They contact us to ask if we can help by trying to contact these suppliers. We try and help, but in most cases it is too late!
Dealing with Chinese suppliers is a difficult job which most don't have the time or expertise to handle. Buying direct from a factory in China means that you are responsible for your own quality control, testing, Chinese customs export taxes, logistics and more.
China Factory Sourcing become your eyes and ears on the ground, looking after your interests as if they were our own. Once a factory knows you have a presence in China and they are being regularly contacted in Mandarin Chinese by your China Factory Sourcing account manager their quality of product and customer services communication drastically improves.
Exporting from China can be extremely profitable. But why take any unnecessary risks?

If you have already found a supplier, can we still help you?
Yes, of course. Many people contact us after they have found a supplier. We help them to verify their supplier, arrange safe payments, create contracts, quality control and arrange all their shipping and logistics needs.

What are the costs?
Unlike other sourcing companies, China Factory Sourcing does not charge any membership fees. We charge a simple commission on all orders of between 5% - 8.5% depending on the value of your order.
By using our Chinese speaking staff to negotiate with factories on your behalf, you can often save between 3 to 10% on previously quoted prices. That means that there could be no costs to you what-so-ever for using our services!

How much will shipping cost?
There is no way to know the exact cost of shipping until your order has been completed. For full container loads it may be possible to calculate prices from a port in China to your destination port, your account manager will be happy to advise you of the current costs for these services.

Who are China Factory Sourcing and how did we start?
Noel Murphy and Ouyang Ke started their first company together www.parcelfromchina.com in 2009, this was to serve international customers who needed logistics and fulfillment services from China.
Very soon there were getting inquiries from customers asking for help with their sourcing. Others were calling and emailing who had had been scammed and cheated by rogue traders on websites like Alibaba.com and made-in-china.com. So in mid 2010 China Factory Sourcing was born.
In the beginning sourcing was only offered to existing shipping clients, but have since been expanded to offer a full range of export services to clients in 37 countries around the world.
Ouyang Ke has a degree in logistics and is also a certified ISO9001 quality control inspector. He has a number of year experience in the Chinese logistics industry working for various large companies.
Noel Murphy has over 25 years of experience in the logistics sectors. He has worked throughout the UK & Ireland  and has been involved in trade from China for over 5 years and living here full-time  for 3 years.
Together they have grown the 2 companies and now employ 20 staff at our offices in Minzhi Town, Bao'an and warehouse in Nanshan, Shenzhen.

How does Q.C. Work?
One of our key services to overseas buyers in China is Quality Control. Before you buy and ship your products to your own country, you need to know these products are of the quality and specifications that you require.
Its not much use phoning your supplier once your goods have arrived in the US, UK or Australia and telling them the items are not what you ordered. At that stage once they have been paid they couldn't really care.
But with QC from China Factory Sourcing you can rest easy!
We have a number of quality control services available where we can check your items during production and also before they are shipped from the factory. This will ensure you get exactly what you ordered.
