I will verify your chinese supplier is a real factory
About this Gig
I spent years as a merchandiser for Chinese exporters and ran my own cross-border store. I know how a quotation is built - and where the money hides.
You have a quote in front of you and no way to tell whether the numbers are fair. That is what I fix.
WHAT I DO
1. Read every line and flag what is vague, padded or missing.
2. Price the same or equivalent item on 1688, so you see the gap between factory cost and your quote.
3. Split one-off costs (mold, tooling, sample) from per-unit costs, so you know your real unit price.
4. Point out the terms most likely to cost you money later: MOQ, payment split, packing, lead time.
5. Give you a target price and the exact sentences to send back.
WHAT YOU GET
A one-page breakdown: quoted price, realistic factory price, where the gap sits, and what to negotiate first.
WHAT THIS IS NOT
I do not buy, ship or negotiate on your behalf. You get the numbers and the words, and you send them yourself.
Send the quote as a photo, PDF or Excel plus the product link, and I will tell you within a few hours which package fits.

FAQ
What do you need from me?
A photo, PDF or Excel of the quotation, the product link, and the quantity you plan to order. If you have two suppliers quoting the same item, send both - comparison is where the real answer shows up.
What if my supplier will not send an itemised quote?
That is already an answer. Suppliers who refuse to break down mold, material, labour and packing usually have a reason. I will tell you what to ask for and how to ask it without souring the relationship.
Will you contact my supplier?
No. I only read what you send me. Your supplier never knows the audit happened, and your relationship stays intact.
Can you guarantee the price you find is what they will accept?
No. 1688 shows what the market pays for equivalent goods, not what your supplier will agree to. It gives you a benchmark and a starting point for negotiation - not a promise.
My product is custom, no one else makes it. Can you still help?
Yes, but differently. For custom items I break the quote into material, labour, tooling and packing, and tell you which of those numbers are plausible for your specification and which are inflated.
