What a China sourcing agent does
A sourcing agent represents the buyer during supplier discovery and order coordination. The role is broader than finding a factory name. A useful sourcing process also checks whether the supplier can meet the requested specification, order quantity, customization, lead time, packaging, and destination requirements.
Susie can coordinate supplier outreach, organize comparable quotations, clarify questions, arrange samples, follow production milestones, and support pre-shipment checks. Final supplier and purchase decisions remain with the buyer.
When buyers usually need sourcing support
- You have a product brief but do not know which Chinese manufacturers fit it.
- Supplier quotations use different specifications or commercial terms.
- You need custom logo, materials, colors, packaging, or private labeling.
- You want an independent contact to follow samples, production, and inspection.
- You need shipping coordination after the order is ready.
Information to prepare before sourcing
A focused brief produces better supplier matches. Share the product name, reference images or drawings, material, dimensions, target quantity, required certifications, branding, packaging, destination country, and target timing. If a detail is unknown, mark it as flexible rather than guessing.
How fees and supplier prices are handled
Supplier quotations, sample costs, inspection requirements, shipping options, and any sourcing service charges should be clarified before an order is placed. Susie Studios does not publish automatic prices because the real cost depends on specifications, quantity, packaging, compliance, and delivery requirements.
