Supplier verification
Before any payment, we check who really stands behind the supplier so you avoid a costly mistake.
Why supplier verification matters
The Chinese market is vast, and platforms such as Alibaba and 1688 are open to everyone, including intermediaries without a factory, companies that do not exist, or suppliers with a poor delivery history.
Paying a deposit without verification is the most common reason imports go wrong. That is why every cooperation starts with supplier verification before we propose next steps.
How to avoid scams on Alibaba/1688
- • Do not pay the full amount upfront without verifying the company and reviewing a product sample.
- • Check how long the account has existed and the number of previous transactions.
- • Ask for photos and video of the factory, not only of the product.
- • Compare the price with the market average. An unrealistically low price is a red flag.
What we check

Business licence

Production capacity
