Bulk that doesn't match samples
Factories vanishing after payment
Common warning signs when sourcing from open marketplaces or random agents.
Real patterns from brands sourcing without verification.
An Amazon brand found a supplier 40% below market. No registration, but high ratings. After a large deposit, delays mounted and the shipped product failed safety requirements. Most inventory was written off.
A brand aggregator sent payment to a personal account for rush packaging. No contract, no verification. The supplier vanished. Launch delayed by months with major losses.
A perfect sample arrived, but the team skipped capacity checks. Bulk shipment had different materials, weak construction, and defects. Supplier refused to remake.
Plug into our verification framework instead of guessing.
We run legal, operational, and export checks before introducing any factory. Registration, history, and references are verified upfront.
Proper samples, spec sheets, and production plans required. Third-party inspections for higher risk categories.
We help structure deposits and milestones that reduce risk. No full upfront payment to unverified suppliers.
We track defect rates, lead times, and communication across suppliers. Early warnings trigger intervention.
Sourcy turns sourcing from Asia into a structured system so you skip the trial and error.
