The Process - Selecting the Manufacturer/Supplier

  • Once all your requirements are agreed and understood, qualified suppliers are identified and details sent to those who may be able to assist us. Where necessary, the potential sources are checked out personally by one of our agents operating in that particular area. It is important at this stage, that we identify those suppliers who are not likely to become an approved supply source; a great deal of time can be wasted by starting negotiations with suppliers who end up being "unsuitable". China Source and Supply NEVER do business with suppliers that do not pass our approval selection process.

  • From the resulting checks and responses, a maximum of three are invited to quote. China Source and Supply will then discuss quotes of interest with the individual manufacturers and confirm their position with regards to experience in UK / European markets, production capabilities, Quality Controls and accreditations.

  • In addition to customers in the UK & Europe, China Source and Supply also do business in the USA, Australia, Ghana, South Africa, Scandinavia and Canada. We have an open policy to enquiries from other parts of the world where local legislation and import requirements are confirmed prior to confirming orders.

  • All factories doing business with China Source and Supply will have a personal visit from our director responsible for importing before any order is placed with them. At this visit, all known information held is checked out and meeting held with the factory management, business owner and the Quality Control manager. This process is backed up by our agent responsible for sourcing operations in that area and detailed reports logged.

  • Quotations are comprehensive i.e. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), including factory cost, our fees based on factory cost only, branding, artwork and presentation of your product. It is inclusive of transportation from "Factory to You" i.e. Duty, Freight; any Surcharges; Terminal/Port Handling; Duty and haulage to your chosen destination. (International orders are normally CIF to destination port and we are of course happy to arrange on an FOB basis where requested).

  • Included in formal quotations are lead-times with Estimated shipping, arrival at destination port and dime of delivery; these dates are confirmed as the information becomes available.
