    Looking for a reliable sourcing agent in China? I’ve got you covered. If you're in need of a sourcing specialist who can find high-quality products at competitive prices and manage your procurement from start to finish, look no further. With years of experience working directly in China’s top markets, I’m one of the few people who can deliver exactly what you need. Bold claim? Let me explain. My name is Lucy, and I specialize in product sourcing, supplier negotiation, and full-range procurement services. Whether you're sourcing for retail, manufacturing, or specialized industries, I have the experience and local connections to make your supply chain run smoothly and cost-effectively. Unlike other agents, I don't rely on guesswork or impersonal relationships. Having worked with hundreds of suppliers in the Guangdong area, I know exactly where to find the right products and ensure quality control every step of the way. When it comes to sourcing and procurement, three things really matter: 1. Finding reliable suppliers with quality products 2. Negotiating the best possible prices 3. Ensuring smooth logistics and timely deliveries Let’s face it, sourcing in China can be challenging without the right knowledge and connections. Many sourcing agents simply pick suppliers from a platform and leave you hoping for the best. That’s not how I work. With me, you'll get a dedicated partner who: 1. Understands the local markets in Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhongshan, and Shenzhen 2. Negotiates directly with suppliers for the best deals 3. Handles all aspects of procurement, from product inspection to shipping Sounds good? If you're ready to make sourcing in China easy and cost-effective, shoot me a message! P.S. While I have extensive experience in purchasing, I am new to Upwork. To build up my profile and reputation and collect testimonials, I am happy to work on a guarantee: Either I fulfill your request and you are happy with my service or I'll issue a full refund.
