New Zealand sourcing FAQs
What information should I provide to get started?
Send the product details, expected quantity, target specifications, packaging requirements and any supplier links or quotations already received. We can recommend whether China Sourcing, Alibaba Quote Matching or China Purchasing Support is the most suitable starting point.
Can you help if I already have a supplier?
Yes. We can review the current supplier, quotation and order stage. China Purchasing Support may be suitable when the supplier is selected, while Alibaba Quote Matching can help with an existing Alibaba quote.
Can you arrange freight to New Zealand?
Yes. Freight can be planned separately around the supplier location, shipment size, trade terms and destination. View the China to New Zealand freight options.
Do you work with first-time importers or eCommerce sellers?
Yes, where the project is commercially suitable. Support can suit first-time importers, retailers, wholesalers, Trade Me, Shopify, Amazon and private label sellers.
Can you help with a personal purchase if I’m not a business?
Yes, we can help with personal purchases. Our minimum purchase requirements and service fees still apply, so the project needs to be commercially viable.
How much does sourcing support cost?
General service enquiries are free. Consulting starts from US$200 per hour. Other work may use a fixed project fee, an agreed percentage or a retainer, depending on the scope. Product purchase minimums are not service fees. We agree the work and fee before starting; goods, freight and third-party costs are separate unless expressly included.
What will I receive from the sourcing work?
We agree the deliverables for your project before work begins. Depending on the scope, these may include supplier and quotation comparisons, clarified specifications and packaging requirements, sample coordination and an order handover for purchasing, inspections or freight. Formal factory audits, product testing and inspections are separately scoped where required.
How long does sourcing take?
There is no single timeline for every product. Supplier availability, MOQ, specification changes, sampling rounds, production and shipping all affect timing. Tell us your required date so we can discuss realistic stages and dependencies before you commit. Sampling, production and freight are separate stages.
How are suppliers checked before I place an order?
The checks depend on the agreed service. Supplier verification may review company registration, addresses, payment-recipient details and the apparent business structure. Visits, factory audits, samples and quality inspections provide different information and should be scoped for the risks of the product and order. A directory badge or showroom appearance alone does not establish factory ownership or product quality.
What should I confirm for New Zealand?
Before ordering, confirm which product specifications, testing, labelling, packaging and import documents apply to the destination and product category. Agree who will obtain and review that information. Sourcing support does not automatically include compliance certification or a guarantee of border clearance; specialist checks and freight arrangements must be confirmed in the project scope.
