Hi,


Is there any importers on here who can recommend a sourcing agent specialising in products in China?
I have been importing from other countries for the last 4 years so generally know how it works but I need someone to carry out QC, inspections etc in China before starting.

Any recommendations will be appreciated, I have searched online and on forums but there is vast amounts and finding a good/genuine one is not easy!

Thanks

Thanks. I have actually spoken with him about 6 weeks ago, we exchanged an email but he has not replied since. He was my first point of contact to be honest, his background is ideal for what I need but unfortunately looks like it wont be going any further.
I have kept an eye on his page over the last couple of years however, interesting read.

I will be looking to make a trip over to China at some point this year if I can find a supplier, I would make an initial trip now however I think it would be wasted.

I briefly imported some goods a while back from china, these were basic design and did not require an agent, the staff turn over on one factory was crazy I think I ended up speaking to 3 or 4 staff over the 6 month period as the others had left. But as I say this was a basic unrelated product and only small orders.

When I last spoke to him I think he had wound it down a bit and decided to stop with the updates.
