Who you're working with

Hi, I'm Lao Lin

Your photo here
(at a factory or market)

I've spent years on factory floors and wholesale markets across Yiwu, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen — not behind a desk. When you message me, you're talking to the person who actually walks into the factory, checks the goods, and argues over price on your behalf.

No call centers, no account managers. Just one local guy who knows where the good stuff is made and how to get it to your door.

Frequently asked

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
It depends on the product, but we regularly negotiate MOQs down for small buyers — often as low as 50–200 units by pooling orders across clients.
Can I get samples before bulk ordering?
Yes. We arrange pre-production or production samples and ship them to you before any bulk payment is released.
How is my payment protected?
You pay the factory directly. We only release payment after you approve our on-site inspection and sample report. No upfront fee, no middleman markup.
How long does shipping take?
By sea: 15–35 days to most ports. By air express: 5–10 days. We track every shipment end to end.
Where are you based?
Our team is based in China, working the same hours as your suppliers. We visit factories on-site across Yiwu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and beyond.
Do you only work with large buyers?
No. We work with solo e-commerce sellers, small brands, and growing retailers — anyone who wants a reliable pair of boots on the ground in China.
