China Sourcing Solutions by Buyer Type

The underlying work is supplier sourcing, quality control, warehousing, and shipping. The order and emphasis change with the way each buyer holds stock, approves products, and promises delivery.

Find the workflow closest to your order

• Amazon Seller Sourcing: China sourcing for Amazon sellers: spec lock, packaging, inspection, FBA prep, and a ship date that matches your inbound plan.
• Dropshipping Sourcing: Factory-direct replenishment for dropshippers who need real stock photos, mixed SKUs, and a warehouse that will say when an item is gone.
• Retailer Sourcing: Multi-SKU China buying for retailers: one consolidator, mixed cartons, and a production calendar that includes Chinese New Year.
• Startup Sourcing: China product sourcing for startups and crowdfunding teams, with supplier comparison, MOQs, sample loops, packaging, inspection, and first-run support.

The same controls still apply

Every workflow needs a written product brief, a known counterparty, an approved sample, a release decision, and a freight plan based on finished cartons. An Amazon shipment adds inbound data and labels. A retailer may need several suppliers on one calendar. A startup spends more time closing the sample and tooling questions.

Choose the closest solution page, then select only the sourcing services the file needs. Buyers preparing a first order can also start with the import playbook.
