I like negotiation. It is a process of getting deeper engagement with suppliers I believe. Through negotiation, buyer and seller get aligned to stay competitive together to get more customer orders;  Dedication: flexible in working time, quick response, stay dedicated with each project.  Trustworthy: I am hired by you, I represent your best interest all the time, I would keep project information transparent for you, I never accept any commission from suppliers.  Integrity: it is the pillar stone of my business, actually any business.

I always keep my reports concise, clear and accurate.  Location: Guangzhou is the central city of South China, it is very time efficient to travel to suppliers in industrial cities nearby, such as Shenzhen, Foshan, Zhongshan, Zhuahai, Jiangmen, Huizhou or other part of China. Why houly rate is prefered?  Reliable system: Upwork has the best system to record work diary for you to review the working process;  Most cost-efficient: you pay for the working process ONLY, not even care for coffee break;  Quality work: all I need is to focus on the work. Keep work quality and timeline is 1st priority;  Flexibility: you can adjust the work scope and requirements based on actual needs;  Adaptive to variance: sourcing is like exploring an unknown area, there are many variances in products, specifications, sourcing requirements, supplier availability, supplier support, expectation, communication etc, all causing the actual working hours longer or shorter. ※ My value: Connection, Agile, Reliable, Deliver Results ※

Hello, I’m Melanie, a China-based sourcing specialist located in Guangzhou, working directly with manufacturers across South China. I support international brands and businesses in sourcing reliable products from China, verifying suppliers, and managing communication with factories to ensure smooth production and delivery. Being based near the major manufacturing hubs in South China allows me to work closely with factories and conduct on-site verification when needed. I regularly work with suppliers across: • Guangzhou • Shenzhen • Dongguan • Foshan These regions are key manufacturing centers for consumer products, electronics, textiles, outdoor gear, and home goods. Services I provide ✔ Supplier sourcing and factory identification ✔ Factory verification (confirming real manufacturers vs trading companies) ✔ Supplier communication and negotiation ✔ Price and MOQ negotiation ✔ Sample coordination and production follow-up ✔ Factory visits and production verification ✔ Quality control coordination with third-party inspectors Product categories I have worked with • Consumer electronics accessories • Batteries and small electronic components • Apparel and textile products • Outdoor and lifestyle products • Home and consumer goods Why clients work with me Many overseas buyers struggle with supplier transparency, communication barriers, and factory verification. Because I am based in China and familiar with local manufacturing regions, I can help clients reduce sourcing risks by verifying suppliers, visiting factories when necessary, and ensuring clear communication throughout the sourcing process. My goal is to help clients build reliable supply chains and long-term supplier relationships in China. ⸻ Feel free to reach out if you need help sourcing products, verifying suppliers, or managing factory communication in China.

I don't just find suppliers, I help overseas brands develop, source and scale products in China. With 15+ years of experience working with factories, trading companies, and international buyers, I have managed sourcing, product development, OEM/ODM projects, quality control, and supply chain operations across a wide range of product categories, including consumer electronics, household products, home appliances, and lifestyle products. Having worked on both the supplier and buyer sides, I understand how to balance cost, quality, lead time, and supplier relationships to achieve long-term success rather than short-term savings. Based in Guangzhou (city of the Canton Fair), near Shenzhen and Dongguan, I provide seamless communication in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, helping overseas clients navigate the Chinese manufacturing ecosystem with confidence. WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT from other sourcing agents: √ Product Development Mindset I don't simply collect quotations. I help evaluate manufacturability, supplier capability, product positioning, and long-term scalability. √ OEM/ODM Project Management From concept, sourcing, sampling, packaging, testing, production, and shipment, I manage the entire process from start to finish. √ Supply Chain Problem Solver I have handled quality issues, shipment delays, supplier disputes, and communication gaps, always focusing on practical solutions. √ Strategic Negotiator I secure competitive pricing without damaging supplier relationships. The goal is not the lowest quote today, but sustainable partnerships that deliver consistent quality and reliability. √ Think Like a Brand Owner Having worked with international buyers for years, I understand concerns about quality, timelines, compliance and communication, and address them proactively. √ Proactive Project Management I don't wait for problems to happen. I provide regular updates, identify risks early and keep projects moving without constant follow-up from clients. WHAT I CAN HELP WITH: 1. Supplier sourcing and product research (B2B business and drop-shipping e-commerce); 2. Consumer electronics & household product development; 3. Factory audits and supplier verification; 4. Quality inspection and shipment coordination; 5. Sampling, quotation and price negotiation; 6. Production follow-up and project management; 7. Canton Fair assistance and factory visits; 8. English/Chinese/Cantonese translation, business communication;
