Please check some of our frequently asked questions here.
If there is something not mentioned here on our website that you would like to know – please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Remember, here at Prestige Sourcing Group we like to think of ourselves as being your ears, eyes and hands on the ground in China.
Therefore, we pride ourselves on offering our clients custom solutions according to your requirements.
How do you charge clients?
- Client Self Source Model
The client sources the products themselves and pays the supplier directly for the goods. The client provides PSG the suppliers contact details and order details. PSG only provides the client value added services, which will be charged based on a percentage of the overall value of the goods. Freight if required, is charged separately.
- PSG Sourcing Model
The client sends PSG a list of products they want, PSG sources the relevant products and deals with the relevant factories and/or suppliers. PSG provides a supplied product price only. Any other required value added services will be charged based on the value of the goods or a hourly rate. Freight if required, is charged separately.
- Hybrid Model
This can be a tailored option based on the clients needs and will either be a fixed commission, hourly rate or total project cost. This is negotiate based on the scope and frequency of the project. For example, some clients may choose a monthly retainer.
Is there a minimum order value for sourcing and supplying goods?
Typically, the net monthly order value needs to be at least $10,000 USD / $15,000 NZD. However, depending on capacity at the current time, we may still be able to help you so if you are a smaller business, don’t let this put you off contacting us.
Why do you have a minimum order value?
This question is frequently asked by both new eCommerce sellers and/or new importers.
Sourcing demands significant resources, expertise, and time investment. Currently, our priority lies in delivering exceptional service and nurturing relationships with customers who align with our minimum order requirements.
To illustrate further, serving a single customer with a minimum $10,000 USD expenditure is more efficient than assisting say ten customers with orders of $1,000 USD each.
To optimise the benefits of our services, we recommend either having an already established business or having the capacity to spend to get improved efficiencies and quality products.
We encourage you to reach out to us for further discussion, as we evaluate each situation individually.
