Where we can travel
Sourcing Ally is based in Shenzhen and can work across nearby manufacturing areas including Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Zhongshan, and Huizhou. We can also travel farther within China when the project justifies it and the details are agreed in advance.
How the fee works
For clients ordering through Sourcing Ally, the minimum sourcing service fee is 5% and the scope should be confirmed for the project. For independent factory-travel support where the client does not order through Sourcing Ally, the rate is $150 per day.
What to agree before travel
Agree the itinerary, purpose, number of factories, transport, language support, reporting, accommodation assumptions, and what happens if a factory changes the schedule.
Before you begin
Prepare the product brief, target quantity, destination market, timing, budget assumptions, and the specific decision you need help making.
A useful decision checklist
- What does a travel day include?
- Can you visit several factories in one trip?
- Can you help arrange transport?
What to do next
After the scope is clear, the next step is a written brief and a practical conversation about what Sourcing Ally should handle.
