Answers
Q: Why should I consider sourcing from China ?

With modern equipment and manufacturing management practices in place, low cost no longer necessarily means low quality. More and more companies are taking this tremendous advantage; you need to respond to this phenomenon. All you need to do is find the right partners and manage them effectively. That's where we come in.

Q: What can I source from China ?
A: Wide range of products in competitive price and decent quality are sourcable throughout China. This list is still extending day by day and is likely to exceed your boldest imagination. Most of the labor intensive products are still leading the global market. Thanks to the fast upgrade of Chinese industries, the past decade has witnessed the surging of many capital intensive and technology intensive industries in China. The low labor cost has also been translated into Chinese manufacturers' strong positions in the areas of low-end to medium-end valued products such as machinery, IT sets etc. Contact us for more information.

Q: Why should I consider sourcing service rather than going direct to the manufacturers?
A: It is an easy job for you to efficiently locate the very qualified suppliers on self-searching basis. The result is not surprising: you save hundreds of dollars from sourcing services and end up encountering tons of stumbling blocks and paying times of that saving due to unforeseen hidden cost.
The Language Barrier comes in all the stages. Some factories may have English-speaking sales, however, their language skills are often too limited to convey an effective correspondence. Eureka China are staffed with fluent bilingual speakers. We are even fluent in regional dialects.
It is time-consuming to locate the right vendors. China has no well-classified yellow books that enable you to search the vendors in an effective way. All the information of real value available has to be paid anyway.
You won't actually get the best prices even if you've finally found the perfect vendors. On receiving an inquiry from a foreign buyer, the vendors will certainly exploit the opportunity and make a higher quotation to pocket extra profit since direct buyers are supposed to pay higher than any intermediate.
It is costly to ensure everything going smoothly during the production and delivery process. You may need to regularly visit the factory, monitoring the production, inspecting the finished product. The result is the piling up of your expense. Our local staffs can watch or even stay with the factory on much less expense and fix the problem on site.

Q: What does Eureka China charge as a sourcing agent?
A: Once we are awarded a specific assignment, we will discuss your needs and clarify the timetable of implementing the tasks. After your confirmation, a small retainer should be deposited. The amount ranges from 100 dollars, depending on the tasks agreed on both sides. We'll refund the retainer to you if we fail to meet your requirements. Travelling bills, per diem, and other incidental costs incurred on your behalf will be agreed to in advance, in writing prior to the actions, and are due upon receipt of invoice. We know you don't like surprises, so we strive for clarity and everything will be well communicated.
Should you need to change task responsibility during the project, we will work together to adjust the fee accordingly and refund the balance. Should our services finally lead to an effective order, we will continue on working with the order management. You will be charged a small percentage of commission on shipment. We will take care of the responsibilities on all the logistic tasks until the goods are shipped. If you are concerned on our service rate, contact us to get a quotation.

We will work on multiple projects, arranging all your business travel and supporting all the secretarial jobs such as interpretations and documentations etc. The contract should last for 6 months or longer. The annual rate is much lower than you otherwise pay for hiring a qualified representative in China, let alone the savings of rent and various expenses of running an office.
back to top Q: How long does it take to conclude an assignment?
A: Usually a disclosure of new product sourcing project should be concluded from 1 week to a month, depending on the length of task list and the required depth of the task. As to ODM/OEM projects, the timetable has to be revised upon the receipt of your drawing and sample. From then on, it should be concluded from 1 to 3 months, depending on the complexity of the products.

Q: What are the incidental costs that should be taken into account?
A: Your incidental costs should include the budgetd travelling bills, per diem, tickets, hotel, posting sample (especially when it is valued and heavy) and other services that we have to outsource on behalf of you. We do all our best to decrease these costs and all will be clarified at the point of initial discussion and agreement.

Q: What information should I provide to make an effective quotation?
A: The more detailed information provided, the better informed we are to do a better job. The more accurate requirements given, the easier the process will be for all the parties. Give us the projected quantity for your initial order and expected order frequency. Establish a reasonable target price so we will work out quickly weather or not it is workable. Not having the reasonable target price generally complicates the process and waste a lot of time.
