BEFORE WE START
We make our income through service fees.
A common model in this industry is to find suppliers for free, then earn money from the order, logistics, commissions, or other parts of the transaction.
Source with An chooses a different way.
Sourcing from scratch is paid work.
We would rather make some investigation, comparison, and execution work that would normally be paid available as limited free support to clients who have already told us what is really happening.
You do not need to sign an agreement or pay before contacting me for the first time. You can start by telling me about the actual situation.
Whether you are a new client or someone who has worked with us before, we can start here.
Just send me a message and tell me what is happening. We can look at the problem, possible ways forward, and whether anything actually needs to be done next.
When one of the issues we discuss begins to move into actual execution, in suitable cases we can start with one clearly defined piece of work at no service charge.
This gives you a more direct way to see how we work and helps reduce the risk before any formal cooperation begins.
Facts come before the deal.

REAL-TIME CHAT
You do not need to prepare a formal project brief first.
Tell me what you are working on, what is happening now, or what you need someone on the China side to help you move forward.
You can leave out sensitive company names, prices, or supplier information for now.
COMMON QUESTIONS
01
No.
You can start by telling me what is happening. We can first discuss the situation you are facing, the possible ways to handle it, and whether any real execution is needed next.
02
When an issue gradually moves into actual execution, we will first make clear what actually needs to be done.
In suitable cases, we may begin by completing one clearly defined step for you without charging a service fee.
03
No.
Sourcing from scratch is paid work.
If you need us to actually search for, screen, and establish new supplier channels in China, we will first confirm the scope of work and the service fee.
04
No.
You can come to us at any stage — when you are just preparing to source, when you already have suppliers, while you are discussing quotations or samples, after production has started, or when you are preparing for inspection and shipment.
We can start from where you are now.
05
That is exactly why the initial conversation is free and why, in suitable cases, we may begin with one clearly defined step at no service charge.
You can start with a real issue and see how we understand the situation, look for evidence, make judgments, and move the next step forward before deciding whether to continue working with us.
Whether you are a new client or someone who has worked with us before, start by telling me what is really happening.
You do not need to decide which service you need first.
