| 8 | Trial Order & Sample Evaluation | Test real-world performance | Place a small pilot order. Assess sample quality, packaging, lead time, and documentation accuracy. |
How to Distinguish Between a Trading Company and a Factory
| Indicator | Factory | Trading Company |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Industrial zones (e.g., Guangdong, Zhejiang) with large facilities | Often located in commercial districts; no visible production lines |
| Staff Expertise | Engineers and production managers discuss technical specs, molds, tooling | Sales-focused teams; limited knowledge of manufacturing processes |
| Pricing Structure | Transparent cost breakdown (material, labor, overhead) | Marked-up pricing; less detailed cost justification |
| Facility Tour | Live production observed (machines, assembly lines, QC stations) | Office-only; may redirect to partner factory |
| Customization Capability | In-house R&D, mold-making, and tooling departments | Limited customization; reliant on third-party manufacturers |
| Lead Times | Shorter for standard items; direct control over scheduling | Longer due to coordination delays with factories |
| Export License | Holds its own export license (visible on business license) | May lack direct export rights or use a factory’s license |
Pro Tip: Ask: “Can you show me the mold for Product X?” Factories retain molds; traders typically do not.
Red Flags to Avoid When Sourcing from China
| Red Flag | Risk | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Unrealistically Low Pricing | Indicates substandard materials, labor violations, or scam | Benchmark against industry averages; request detailed cost breakdown |
