What a China Sourcing Agent Costs (and How It Can Cost You Nothing)
A sourcing agent charges 2 to 10 percent of order value. Here is what that covers, and how a VAT refund can bring the net cost to zero.
Researching which supplier is right for us takes a lot of work. So, I delegated the product sourcing to Pyxis. They handle entire China side of our business. Very efficient.
The main reason we use Pyxis is to make sure of the product quality. So we don't have surprises after delivery. They inspect everything before shipment.
It was hard for us to explain complex details of our electrical project to manufacturers. Now Pyxis does all of it for us. So we can focus on our business back home.
Low cost is very important for us. To find the real cheap goods Alibaba isn't enough. You need to find the local manufacturers. That is why we use Pyxis. They always find the most cost effective option.
We are a China-based product sourcing company. We search manufacturers for the products you need, negotiate prices, inspect the goods, facilitate the purchase, and ship them.
Yes. Standalone Product Research starts at $79 per product, with discounts for multiple SKUs. If you proceed with an All-In-One order within 30 days, we credit 100% of that research fee toward our commission. See Pricing and our Refund Policy for details.
We accept credit/debit cards and local methods via secure online payment links, plus bank transfers. We hold bank accounts in mainland China and can arrange international settlement through online payment services.
Product Research and other professional service fees are refundable only within 24 hours of payment if we have not started work or sent deliverables. After any deliverable is sent, fees are final. Deciding not to buy is not grounds for a refund. Sourcing projects follow the refund terms in your sourcing contract. See our Refund Policy.
This is the main selling point of our service. We inspect the products and the factory before purchase so you get what you ordered, without traveling to China. We handle it on the ground.
Customs procedures change by country and product. We handle China customs for every product. We cannot manage customs procedures in the destination country.
