On the call (30 min):

• We'll review your product and sourcing goals

• Give you a realistic price & MOQ range based on current Shanghai/Guangzhou market rates

I run a sourcing team based in Shanghai. We handle vendor development, price/quality negotiation, and logistics for e-commerce sellers every week. The same 3 mistakes come up constantly with first-timers:

1. They negotiate price before negotiating quality specs.

If you lock in a price before defining materials, tolerances, and packaging specs in writing, the factory will quietly downgrade quality to protect their margin. Always spec first, price second.

2. They trust the first quote.

Chinese suppliers routinely quote 15-30% higher to new/foreign buyers who show up without local context. A second opinion (or a rep on the ground) almost always brings the number down — often within one negotiation round.

3. They underestimate logistics as an afterthought.

Freight, customs, and last-mile costs can eat 20%+ of your margin if you don't plan the shipping method (sea vs. air vs. rail) against your cash flow and timeline from day one — not after the goods are made.

If you're sourcing for the first time and want a second set of eyes before you commit to a vendor, I offer a quick 30-minute 1-on-1 consult — happy to sanity-check your quotes, specs, or shipping plan.
