Yes!
However, it’s always good business to check who you do business with! Getting a verification report before you import from China ensures that you know the manufacturer you’re working with is
- Qualified in their respective industry,
- Experienced and trustworthy
- Capable of delivering good results under pressure
And have had no legal or professional issues in the past. We understand that trying to find manufacturers who qualify for all of the above points can be a challenge. This is where we come in - Epic Sourcing has various services targeted to suit your needs from any point of your sourcing journey to ensure you get the best results.
Using a China sourcing agent acts as a safeguard system during your sourcing journey. Sourcing agents will ensure that the supplier and/or manufacturer is working to meet your demands within the expected time frame and will give you regular progress reports throughout the importing process. When any unexpected issues arise, a sourcing agent gets to the bottom of the issue and resolves them. We take the risk out of dealing directly with unverified sources; such as Alibaba Dropshipping agents. A sourcing agency, like Epic Sourcing, works for you, not the manufacturer, which means you get the best deal possible.
Yes and no. Yes, you can absolutely customise and design products; either from scratch or by customising a white-label product. Our sourcing agents on the ground in Guangzhou, China can help you connect with manufacturers who can develop unique products for you to sell. We love working with clients as they turn their visions into reality, however, we do not currently have an in-house designer.
Our fees are as shown on our website (I)Here(I)- Each is a one off payment per product you are looking to develop. We do not take any commission from the manufacturers we work with, nor do we add hidden fees later down the line. However, all other fees that may incur directly with the manufacturer in the process of sourcing i.e. creating samples, shipping freight, logistics, insurance, are a separate process between you and the Chinese supplier. At Epic Sourcing, we help you through these processes to make this as simple (and painless) as possible.
The Epic Suite is an end-to-end service we provide to assist your sourcing journey. We act as a middleman between you and China; researching and verifying potential suppliers, negotiating quotes and contracts, sending samples, and taking care of shipping and logistics until your finalised product safely arrives to you here in Australia (as well as post purchase management after care). Throughout, you have complete creative and product control. We take care of the details, so you have the time to focus on the fun stuff.
Everyone’s business is different, however, ensuring that you partner with a reliable and verified Chinese supplier can save you thousands of dollars in failed samples, months of back and forth from unanswered communication and the hassle of ill-quality products. We have an established system between Australia and China that ensures the entire importing process will run smoothly; so you can focus on product development, while we take care of the rest.
We understand where you are coming from, because we’re here in Australia too! It’s common to have important details lost in translation, particularly when importing from China to Australia or manufacturing unique and EPIC products. Using a sourcing agency eliminates the stress of translation and communicating across time zones. We simply discuss your product with our talented, multilingual team on the ground in Guangzhou, China and they make the magic happen.
This depends on the type of product you are looking to import! The MOQ (minimum order quantity) for white label productswill differ from more customised product options. Buying bulk from China comes with many benefits; usually involving PPU (Price per unit) discounts; however the best way to find out if your order is suitable for a sourcing agent is to talk to us!(Call us link button)
There’s no one size fits all! (Unless you’re looking for a shirt like This One.) We strive to make your dream a reality; you tell us the vision, and our China Sourcing Agents will figure out what parts we can supply, from where, when they’re available and for how much. We then present you with the best options for your specific brand. This may feature the ability to choose the customisation of any products and materials from your China manufacturer, or buy the basics in bulk. So you can sit back and pick the colours and style you like best and leave the rest of the work to us.
Using our magic powers (contacts and research), we provide our customers with information about their competitors' suppliers. We can tap into a database that covers all of China, as well as Europe and the US, to find out exactly where your dream product has come from, who makes it, and for how much. The next steps are up to you!
