KOI Sourcing: China Sourcing Agent for Factory-Direct Prices
We're your bilingual buying team on the ground. We vet factories, run samples, inspect every order, and ship worldwide. Need packaging or product design? We handle that too.
We're your procurement team in China. Not a marketplace. Not a reseller.
You pay us for the work. You pay the factory for the product. We never sit in the middle and mark things up. You see the real factory price, every order.
We're not an Alibaba alternative. Alibaba works for the platform. We work for you.
What that looks like in practice
01
We find and vet your factory.
Site visits, production audits, real shortlists. You don't get a list of whoever paid for placement.
02
We manage samples.
We chase the supplier, check samples in person, and ship the ones worth your review.
03
We run quality control at every stage.
Hand samples after the mold is made. Machine pre-production samples before the run starts. Site inspection during production. AQL sampling before shipment. If defects pass 5%, we order a 100% inspection. If that fails too, the factory reworks the batch on their dime.
04
We pack for export.
Bubble bags for glass. Trays for caps. Export-grade cartons. Wooden, plywood, or plastic pallets matched to your destination. Corner protectors and air bags so nothing shifts in the container.
05
We coordinate the freight forwarder.
Ours or yours. Door-to-door cost breakdown before you commit.
06
We stay on after delivery.
If something gets stuck at customs or arrives damaged, we deal with the factory and the forwarder so you don't have to.
Why us
Why KOI Sourcing is different
Real people, not a faceless middleman.
You'll work with the same two people from first quote to final shipment.
LizProduct development & packagingFive years in perfume, food, and luxury outer boxes. Liz runs your samples, your QC, and your packaging design.
LiamEngineering & industrial sourcingEight years in HVAC and AutoCAD-driven projects. Liu handles the hard stuff: mechanical, electrical, and custom builds.
Real factories, not platform listings.
Vetted partners across Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, and Zhongshan. Packaging, HVAC, kitchen equipment, home furniture, clothing. We've visited every factory we recommend.
Brand-ready, not just functional.
Your goods arrive ready to sell. We design the logo, the packaging, the instruction manual, and the product photos for retail or Shopify. One team handles product and brand.
Native voice, on the ground.
We negotiate the way factories actually negotiate: over WeChat, in person, in Mandarin or Cantonese. Nothing gets lost in translation.
What changes when you work with us
No more hidden deals between us and your supplier. Everything is in the open. We're here for the long run.
Real cost visibility
Factory price, our fee, and freight quoted line by line. You always know who gets paid for what.
Sample chasing
We follow up with suppliers so you can spend your day on your business, not on WeChat.
Sourcing that compounds
The same two people handle every order. The tenth one ships faster than the first.
Hours back in your week
Your China operations run on our time zone, not yours.
Pricing
How we charge
We charge for our work, not your products. Two pricing tracks, depending on what you're sourcing.
Personal buyer
Buying from Chinese platforms
For personal buyers, FBA sellers, and dropshippers ordering from Taobao, Alibaba, 1688, JD, or Tmall.
$10per order
Volume discounts for repeat buyers. Standard QC included.
Most common
Small business
Sourcing production runs
For small businesses and brands ordering custom or branded production. Includes factory vetting, samples, QC, packaging, and freight coordination.
5-10%commission on order
+ small consulting fee
Pay a small consulting fee upfront for factory vetting and quotation work. When production starts and the deposit is paid, the consulting fee is fully deducted from your commission. Net cost: just the commission.
Rate set by order size. Bigger orders, lower percentage.
We never mark up your products. Our income is the consulting fee and the commission, both visible in your invoice every time. The factory price you see is the price you pay.
Our process
Clear process. Real-time production updates.

FAQ
No. We hate different pricing as much as you do. We provide a 100% Transparent Landed Cost. Before you confirm any order, we provide a precise, door-to-door cost breakdown. What you see on the initial quote is exactly what you pay.
We know great brands start small. We will find the lowest possible Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) for you. Even on small trial runs, you will receive the same expert support as our large order clients.
We know the worst part of overseas sourcing is feeling out of control. Although we are in different time zone, we operate on a strict "24-hour response rule" and will update you very soon. If a problem arises, we don't hide—we come to you with solutions, not excuses.
Our company follows the principle of providing individualized solutions to each client, which allows us to achieve success at all levels of problem-solving
