Factory background checks, Taobao/1688 sourcing, and China market research — from someone who actually lives here, speaks the language, and knows how to spot a scam.
Every service is done by me personally — not outsourced, not automated. You talk to the same person from start to finish.
You found a supplier on Alibaba or 1688 — but are they real? I check their business license, visit their factory, and tell you if they're legit.
You found it on Pinterest. You saw it on TikTok. But Taobao won't let you create an account, the seller doesn't ship overseas, and the whole site is in Chinese. I fix all of that — and I don't disappear after you pay.
Want to know if your product has potential in China — or who your Chinese competitors are? I do native-language research on platforms foreigners can't access.
Here's what happens when the exact same factory sells through different channels:
| Product Example | Amazon | AliExpress | Taobao (via me) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yoga leggings (Lululemon-style) | $25–40 | $12–20 | $4–8 |
| Stainless steel water bottle | $18–30 | $8–15 | $3–6 |
| Bluetooth earbuds (ANC) | $30–60 | $15–30 | $5–12 |
| Custom enamel pins (50 pcs) | $60–120 | $30–60 | $15–30 |
Even with my $8–18 fee + international shipping, you still save 40–70% vs buying the same thing on Amazon or AliExpress.
Your package goes through 3–5 different carriers. The tracking page is entirely in Chinese. Status updates are cryptic. One day it says "海关放行" and you have no idea if that means your package is released or seized.
Most proxy services go silent after they ship. They give you a tracking number and say "good luck." Then you're alone, refreshing a Chinese website you can't read, wondering if you just lost your money.
I don't do that. I watch the tracking for you. I send you updates in plain English. If something goes wrong, I deal with the carrier — in Chinese — so you don't have to.
No complicated onboarding. No minimum commitment. Just tell me what you need.
Email or DM me with what you need — a supplier to check, a product to find, or a market to research.
I send a quick confirmation with the price and timeline. You approve, I buy. I receive, inspect, photograph, then ship. I handle every logistics step — domestic courier, consolidation, international carrier, customs clearance.
I track the shipment. I deal with any customs issues. I update you proactively — you don't need to ask "where's my stuff?" Then it arrives at your door. That's it.
These are starting prices. Every project is different — reach out and we'll find a fair number together. No hidden fees, no surprises.
I live in China and speak both Chinese and English fluently. I've spent years navigating Chinese e-commerce platforms, factory districts, and business databases — so you don't have to.
I started this because I kept seeing the same story on Reddit and in business forums: someone found a "great supplier" on Alibaba, wired thousands of dollars, and got ghosted. Or worse — received garbage product with no recourse.
Most of those disasters could have been avoided with a simple background check. That's what I do.
