I am an independent sourcing and purchasing agent in China, based in Shenzhen, with a warehouse setup in Guangzhou. What I do is end-to-end execution on the ground for overseas B2B buyers:
-
Product and supplier sourcing
-
Purchasing management
-
OEM and custom production support
-
Payments to suppliers
-
Supplier visits and inspections
-
Goods checks against instructions
-
Consolidation and warehousing
-
Container loading
-
Multiple suppliers — one invoice
-
Seller of record
-
Sea and air freight
-
Inland logistics and export from China
I don’t sell goods or trade on my own margin, and I don’t represent suppliers or factories. My role is to run the China legwork against your instructions and requirements: the back-and-forth, the checks, the logistics coordination, and handling issues when they come up. You define the task, you remain in control — I execute on the ground in China.
SinaFirst — the name behind my work
SinaFirst is my business name, not a corporation with a team of managers. It is the legal structure I work through — two companies, one operator.
-
SinaFirst Limited
Hong Kong company with a corporate bank account in Hong Kong — the contract, the payments, the invoices, the shipper. -
Shenzhen SinaFirst Technology Co., Ltd.
Mainland China company, for China-side operations. Where the shipment requires it, appears in the export documents — exporter in the certificate of origin, shipper in the BL / AWB.
Formats of work
-
Basic
You already have your suppliers, and I take over the China side and run it: communication and confirmations, purchasing and payments, goods checks, consolidation and export handover under your instructions. -
End-to-end
You don’t have suppliers yet. I do sourcing and vetting from scratch, and handle the entire process through to export. -
Custom scope
Just find suppliers, just check a real price in China, remote supplier check, or visit a supplier and report back, receive and check a sample, inspect goods before shipment, warehousing, then arrange export or hand them over to your forwarder — each is available as a separate job with a separate fee.
Clear reporting all the way
Proper documentation and clear reporting are part of every deal. You always have an accurate, up-to-date picture of what has been done, where things stand, and what the result is. No guesswork, no assumptions. Records first.
Whatever the task, the approach remains the same:
Whatever the task, the approach remains the same:
- One-on-one with an actual person — from the first message to export handover
- No ticket system, no manager ping-pong
- Not simply forwarding messages between you and suppliers
- No "my factories" — the task selects the supplier
- My fee is always clear and invoiced separately — never inside the goods price
- Any order size — if it makes sense for you, it works for me
