On the ground
What we check, in person.
We physically visit and verify a factory is a real manufacturer before any order is placed. 1688 and Alibaba are full of reseller listings — a typical agent trusts the photos. We don't.
Anyone can post a catalog on 1688. Whether a real manufacturer sits behind it is a different question — one most agents never ask.
A catalog of photos — maybe the factory's, maybe not.
We walk the floor ourselves, before any order is placed.
Anyone can claim to be a manufacturer.
We confirm it's real — not a reseller relisting someone else's goods.
No way to check capacity or process from a photo.
Verified up front, so production control and QC have a real floor to work with.
A real visit, during production — our founder walking the line, not staged for a camera. Press play (captions on).
Yes. 1688 and Alibaba are full of reseller and fake listings — we physically visit and verify before any order is placed.
Fair question for a cold email. Three checks: we visit the factory ourselves before any order; there's no upfront fee for a read or quote, and you start on a small test order before volume; and we operate from a real, verifiable office in Yiwu, China.
