We go and see the factory floor.
Product sourcing from China, for buyers in the EU and Tunisia.
Photos from the floor, not from the brochure.
Reply within XXIV hours · no obligation
Goods are checked while the supplier still wants the balance.
Dated pictures from the line, not the seller’s catalogue.
Unit price, freight and duty quoted as one number.
We hand over the contact whenever you ask for it.
Six families, one standard.
We buy things that ship in boxes and survive the journey.

No food, no medicine, no counterfeits. Ever.
Six steps, none skipped.
The same passage for one carton or one container.
Definiamus
We write the product down before we go looking for it.
Inveniamus
We shortlist factories that make the thing, not desks that resell it.
Temptemus
Samples come to us first, then to you with our notes.
Pangamus
We agree price, MOQ, lead time and payment stages in writing.
Inspiciamus
Someone checks the goods against the approved sample before they ship.
Mittamus
We book the freight, clear customs, and tell you where the boxes are.
Nothing ships unseen.
If we wouldn’t accept the carton, it doesn’t leave China.
Request a Sourcing Quote →The spec is written first
Colour, material, tolerance and packaging are agreed on paper before production starts.
One golden sample, kept
We hold the sample you approved and check the run against it.
Eyes on the line
An inspector we appoint walks the floor and sends dated photos we can trace.
Checked before the balance is paid
Inspection happens while the supplier still has money to collect from you.
Papers read, not assumed
Test reports, certificates and HS codes are reviewed before anything is booked.
Four things we turn down.
What a house will not do says more than what it will.
Counterfeits and lookalikes
No branded copies, no “same factory as” goods, no exceptions.
Anything you eat, drink or take
Food, supplements and medical goods need licences we do not hold.
Orders priced below the spec
If the target price cannot make the sample, we say so instead of finding a worse factory.
Suppliers we cannot verify
No licence, no address, no order.
