What are the three ways to work with us?
Direct answer
There are three working models, and the difference is who signs with the factory.
Key facts
- Spot order is for a first trial or a one-off buy; we hold the contract with the factory.
- Programme sourcing suits repeat production against your own quality standard; you hold the contract.
- Verification only is for buyers who already have suppliers and want them checked.
| Model | Best for |
|---|---|
| Spot order | A first trial order or a one-off buy |
| Programme sourcing | Repeat production against your own quality standard |
| Verification only | You already have suppliers and want them checked |
The model decides who signs with the factory, and that one fact decides who owns the tooling, who carries a claim, and how your accountant sees the purchase.
| Model | Who contracts the factory | Best for | What you pay for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spot order | Us, as the trading party | A first trial order or a one-off buy | A margin on the goods |
| Programme sourcing | You, directly | Repeat production against your own quality standard | A sourcing and QC fee |
| Verification only | You | You already have suppliers and want them checked | A fixed fee per verification |
How to choose between them
- Choose spot order when the specification is still moving, or when the volume does not justify a tooling commitment. You are buying a working sample of the supply chain rather than a programme.
- Choose programme sourcing when the specification is proven and the order repeats. You carry the contract and the tooling question; we carry the sourcing, the checkpoints and the inspection.
- Choose verification only when you already buy from China and the gap is evidence, not supply. The four gates are run against your factory and you get the findings, including when the answer is that we cannot verify it.
Whichever model applies, a quotation states the unit, the order quantity and the basis, and you can stop after the quotation or after the sample without committing to production.
