FAQ

Questions serious buyers usually ask.

Can you help me avoid trading companies?

The service is designed to review supplier signals and help buyers understand whether a supplier appears to have real production capability. That may include business scope review, product capability review, sample process review, production evidence requests and optional third-party audit coordination.

Can you compare B2B marketplace suppliers with direct factory candidates?

Yes. The RFQ comparison path can organize suppliers from B2B marketplaces, referrals, existing vendors and direct factory research into a single comparison matrix. The goal is to compare price, MOQ, tooling, sample terms, lead time, communication quality and supplier risk.

Do you negotiate with factories?

The service can support negotiation preparation by clarifying quote details, target cost, MOQ, packaging assumptions and payment terms. Negotiation should be based on realistic order quantity and clear product specifications.

Do you handle payments or act as the importer of record?

This page is positioned as a sourcing support service. Payment, customs, legal import obligations and freight execution should be handled through qualified providers where needed.

What happens after I submit an RFQ?

Your request is reviewed for product clarity, target quantity, market requirements and sourcing feasibility. The recommended next step may be a factory shortlist, RFQ comparison, supplier verification review, sample coordination or full sourcing support.

Can startups use this service?

Yes, but the best results come when the startup has a clear product direction, basic specifications, target quantity and realistic sourcing budget. Very vague ideas without specs are usually not ready for factory RFQs.
