What I can help you with: - Supplier research on 1688, Alibaba, and through local factory networks - In-person factory visits in Dongguan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and surrounding areas - Price negotiation and quotation comparison - Sample coordination and quality follow-up - On-site photos and video so you see exactly what you're getting - Honest assessment — I'll flag red flags, not hide them If you want someone on the ground in China who knows how trade actually works — let's talk.

Supplier Sourcing I Product Sourcing | Quality Control & Inspection | Warehousing | Logistics | Virtual Assistance (China-Based) $15.00/hr Hi there, I’m Zhu from Sheryl Supply Chain Services—a top-rated Upwork freelancer with a 100% Job Success score. Based in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, I’m strategically located near major manufacturing hubs: Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Huizhou, and Zhongshan. With over 10 years of experience as a China-based sourcing specialist, I bring deep expertise in connecting global clients with reliable factories and products. What I Do Best: I source products across B2B/B2C platforms (Alibaba, Made-in-China, Global Sources, 1688, Taobao, Pinduoduo, JD) and social channels (Douyin/TikTok, Xiaohongshu, WeChat) to identify authentic manufacturers—not middlemen. I’m skilled at negotiating with suppliers, analyzing costs, and ensuring you get the best balance of quality and price. As a sample inspector, I specialize in evaluating furniture, home goods, electronics, crafts, seasonal gifts, and more. Following AQL 2.5 standards, I check for appearance, dimensions, structure, functionality, packaging, and shipping readiness. You’ll get a detailed inspection report with photos and videos within 3 business days. For dropshipping and logistics support, I offer short-term warehousing and fulfillment services (priced in RMB): • Warehousing: ¥8 per CBM per day • Label replacement: ¥1.5 per label (includes materials/labor for standard black-and-white stickers; minimum ¥30 per order; complex labels quoted separately) • Carton replacement: ¥5 per carton (carton materials extra) • Sorting & distribution: ¥1 per carton • Printing: ¥2 per sheet • Palletizing: ¥150 per pallet (includes 120x100x180cm pallets) (Other services not specified herein shall be quoted upon separate discussion.) Centralizing your goods in my warehouse cuts logistics costs by streamlining shipments to freight providers. As your shipping agent, I’ll find the optimal method—sea, air, rail, or truck—prepare all necessary documents, and track your shipment until it reaches its destination. How I Work: I’m fluent in tools like Google Drive, Slack, WhatsApp, Discord, WeChat, and email, making remote collaboration seamless. I’m detail-obsessed, great at managing timelines, and thrive both independently and in teams. Meeting deadlines and delivering quality work isn’t just a goal—it’s my standard. My Services Include: • Sourcing products for product development • Arranging sample orders + detailed quality reports (with photos/videos) • Collecting samples and coordinating logistics • FNSKU label printing (if needed) • Identifying emerging products in China • Vetting new suppliers and negotiating lower costs • On-site inspections for new orders • Supplier background checks • End-to-end purchasing and logistics coordination • Timely communication and delivery • E-commerce product photography If you’re looking for a reliable partner in China to streamline your supply chain, feel free to reach out—I’m here to help.
