The questions buyers ask first.
A China sourcing agent acts for the buyer: it coordinates supplier search, quotation comparison, verification, samples, production follow-up, quality activity and China-side handover under a written scope, while the buyer keeps the commercial decisions. A trading company buys and resells goods on its own terms and is not bound to share its margin or disclose the factory. LifaSourcing.com operates as a buyer-side sourcing agent and coordinator, paid through a disclosed, buyer-agreed fee rather than undisclosed supplier margins.
Fees vary by model and provider. LifaSourcing.com’s standard commission is 5% of the approved order value, negotiable for large or high-value orders and agreed in writing before paid work begins. Third-party costs such as samples, inspection, storage and freight are itemized separately and approved by the buyer before they are incurred.
Send the product name, specifications or reference images, expected quantity, destination, target price if available, packaging or branding needs, required documents or certifications, preferred timeline, and shipping method. LifaSourcing.com can identify missing details before contacting suppliers.
Yes. LifaSourcing.com can communicate with a buyer-selected supplier, clarify quotations, coordinate samples, follow production, organize verification or inspection activity, and prepare the China-side shipping handover. The buyer keeps final approval authority.
