CHINA SOURCING AGENT
A local sourcing team for buyers who need more than supplier search.
Aupeak Sourcing is a Hangzhou-based China sourcing agent for SMEs and e-commerce brands. We coordinate suppliers, samples, production, quality and shipping through one accountable local team.
Send your product briefWHAT A SOURCING AGENT DOES
Close the distance between your buying team and the factory floor.
A sourcing agent represents the buyer locally: researching factories, checking capability, coordinating commercial details and following the order through the points where remote buying creates the most risk.
Aupeak is structured as a small sourcing, quality and finance team—not a supplier directory or a trading company selling anonymous goods.
Verify what exists on the ground
Check the registered business, facility, production capability, quality systems and relevant documents before commitment.
Control samples, production and quality
Coordinate specifications, approvals, order milestones and pre-shipment findings against the agreed reference.
Coordinate the final handover
Connect consolidation, cargo data, shipping arrangements and export documents after the buyer approves release.
TRANSPARENT SERVICE FEES
Know how Aupeak is paid before the work starts.
The fee model follows the scope: a standard percentage for coordinated sourcing, or a project quotation for a standalone assignment.
01
Standard sourcing engagement
5% of product value
For an agreed end-to-end sourcing and order-management scope. The proposal confirms exactly which stages Aupeak will manage before an order is placed.
02
Standalone project service
Quoted by scope
For a defined assignment that does not require full order management, such as a factory visit, independent inspection, market tour or content shoot.
03
External project costs
Approved before spend
Factory and third-party charges remain separate so you can see what the work costs before committing.
FACTORY VERIFICATION
Eight checks before trust becomes an order.
The checklist is adapted to the product and risk profile, then supported with current field evidence and clear decision points.
- 01
Define the risk brief
Confirm the product, target market, order value, required certifications and the questions the visit must answer.
- 02
Verify the business identity
Review the supplier's registered entity, business licence, operating address and the relationship between the sales company and factory.
- 03
Review real production capability
Observe the production lines, equipment, workforce, current work and whether capacity appears suitable for the planned order.
- 04
Check the quality system
Review incoming-material checks, in-process controls, testing equipment, final inspection records and defect handling.
- 05
Review documents and compliance
Check relevant certificates, test reports and document consistency against the product and destination-market requirements.
- 06
Observe the working environment
Record production organisation, material storage, traceability, cleanliness and visible safety or subcontracting risks.
- 07
Build the evidence pack
Capture current photographs, video, document notes and direct answers so the buyer can review what was found remotely.
- 08
Report the decision points
Summarise strengths, red flags, open questions and recommended next actions before sampling or order approval.
A PRACTICAL FIT
When a local China sourcing partner adds the most value.
- You are evaluating an unfamiliar factory or product category.
- The product needs OEM details, samples, tooling or custom packaging.
- Your team cannot follow production and quality on the ground.
- Several suppliers, shipments or approval points need one coordinator.
