About
Based in China. Built for importers who don't have time for surprises.
Quality Sourcing From China is a China-based sourcing and procurement firm. We work with mid-to-large importers who need a partner on the ground — not a Skype agent in another timezone.
Our team is in Shenzhen, Yiwu, and Guangzhou. We do factory audits in person. We sit through production lines. We watch containers being loaded. We've been doing this for over a decade.
How we work
The model is simple and slightly unusual for this industry: we charge a transparent service fee — flat per project or a fixed retainer — and we don't take supplier kickbacks. The factory's invoice price and our fee are itemised separately on every quote. Most agents take 5–15% from the supplier instead, which gets priced into your unit cost where you can't see it. We'd rather you see everything.
The same philosophy runs through the content on this site. The guides, category pages, and free tools are the actual frameworks we use internally — the 30-point verification checklist is the real checklist, the AQL levels are the ones we inspect at, and where we quote price ranges they're the ranges we see on the ground. No email wall in front of any of it.

Who stands behind the guidance
Bruce is our sourcing lead. He has spent seven years sourcing from China and is based here, not managing it from another timezone. The frameworks published on this site — the 30-point verification checklist, the AQL levels we inspect at, the contract terms we insist on — are the ones he uses on real orders, and he reviews the guides that describe them.
If you want to put that to work rather than read about it, the preliminary supplier verification is free.
