Factory quotations before you travel
Find out whether your product brief is ready for comparable factory quotations before committing to a sourcing trip. We contact manufacturers in Chinese and provide a written report. You decide whether to request samples, visit or stop.
Interpreting pairs: English ↔ Mandarin Chinese, Spanish ↔ Mandarin Chinese and Spanish ↔ English. Spanish interpreting availability and fees are confirmed in a written CNY quote. The website language does not change these service pairs.

Discuss my product
Start with a precise brief
Send clear photos or drawings, dimensions, materials, colours, packaging and expected order quantities. Include a target price if you have one and identify which details are still uncertain. Images can be shared through the homepage request form or WhatsApp.
We agree the research scope, number of suppliers, fee and reporting timing before starting. We look in Fujian and further afield where appropriate, then ask manufacturers the same questions in Chinese.
What the report covers
Factory prices remain indications until an order is agreed. Differences in materials, packaging, quantities and exchange rates can change them. The report records quotations; it is not a product-quality inspection or supplier certification.
- Factory-quoted unit prices in CNY at the relevant quantities
- Minimum quantities and sample and production lead times
- Material choices, options and sample costs
- Supplier contact details and our observations from the conversations
- An indicative freight estimate from Xiamen where useful
From comparison to your next decision
You choose which suppliers to pursue. We can coordinate samples; sample costs and shipping are yours. Information is shared only as needed for the agreed quotation work with the factories we contact.
We work with legitimate manufacturers and do not source replicas or branded copies. For important orders, consider a factory visit and an appropriate independent inspection. Research has its own advance quote; later interpreting visits use the published day rates.
