Verify

Check the factory. Check the goods.

Two things worth knowing before you commit: whether the company is genuinely operating, and whether the product matches what was promised. We go and find out.

The real question

“Is this company real, and is the product right?”

Chat replies, catalogue photos and a confident salesperson are not evidence. This service turns the guess into a finding.

To be clear about what this is

We report what we find. We cannot guarantee goods manufactured by another company. What we can do is make sure you are not deciding blind.

What you get back
  • Photos and video from the address or the stock
  • Confirmed specifications in writing
  • Whether the operation matches what they claim
  • Any discrepancies or red flags we spotted
  • Our plain assessment: proceed, push back, or walk
What we do

Two checks, one service.

Take both, or take the one you need. We quote whichever applies.

Supplier and factory verification

Is the business real, and is it actually operating?

  • Visit the factory or company in person
  • Confirm the physical location exists
  • Confirm the operation is genuinely running
  • Speak with their representatives
  • Assess the facility, take photos and video
  • Ask the questions you agreed with us first
  • Written factory visit report

Product inspection

Is the product what they say it is?

  • Contact the supplier directly, in Mandarin
  • Ask specific questions about the product
  • Confirm specifications, materials, size and finish
  • Photograph actual stock, or take samples
  • Review the supplier's answers for consistency
  • Identify obvious discrepancies or red flags
  • Written assessment before you commit
How it works

Three steps.

  1. 01

    Tell us what to check

    The supplier or factory details, plus what the product must be. We agree the question list with you before anyone goes anywhere.

  2. 02

    We go and look

    We visit the address, speak to representatives, inspect the product where it exists, and document everything with photos and video.

  3. 03

    You get the report

    A written report covering what we confirmed, what we could not, and what concerned us. It is yours to keep.

Pricing

What this costs.

Every job is quoted, because no two are the same. A supplier down the road in Foshan is not the same job as a factory eight hours away. We give you the number before we start.

Third-party costs are separate

We charge our fee only. Everything we pay on your behalf — product cost, transport in China, samples, shipping, accommodation, testing — is billed at cost.

Questions

Before you ask.

Why can you not just guarantee the quality?

Because we did not manufacture it. No honest agent can guarantee another company's production. We verify what the supplier is actually holding, confirm the specifications in writing, and show you where the risk sits.

What if the factory turns out not to exist?

Then the service has done exactly what you paid for. You still pay the fee, because the visit was carried out. The report on what we found at that address is yours.

Can I take just one half?

Yes. Some buyers only need the product checked. Others only need to know the company is real. Tell us which, and we quote that.

Can you verify a trading company rather than a factory?

Yes. Many suppliers are trading companies, not manufacturers, and that is not automatically a problem. What matters is that you know which one you are dealing with.

Will the supplier know I sent you?

Only if you want them to. We can visit as your representative or as an interested buyer. Tell us which approach you prefer.

Can you go outside Guangdong?

Yes. Travel time and cost go into the quote, and we tell you the number before we agree to go.
