Green Sourcing

Green Sourcing is a small sourcing agency registered in Shenzhen and run from Dongguan, with a warehouse in Mayong, a Dongguan town packed with factories. It works for the overseas small businesses most agents think are too small to bother with: e-commerce sellers, DTC founders, small retailers, startups and "next-generation leaders of family businesses", often ordering lots of SKUs in low quantities.

The founders aren't named, but the core team each spent more than 15 years in production, engineering and sales jobs inside Shenzhen and Dongguan factories before starting the agency. That's the selling point: they know what a supplier is good at and where it will get stuck. More than 500 companies worldwide have used them, and buying direct from factories cuts total cost by 5% to 15%, by their estimate.

Most of the work is standard sourcing: finding suppliers, negotiating prices, following orders, private label and Amazon FBA prep. There's also a product-development service for custom designs, which runs from concept and feasibility review through supplier selection, prototype rounds, production oversight and packaging. QC means AQL 2.5 sampling, pre-shipment inspection and, if you ask, piece-by-piece checks. Goods can be consolidated in the Mayong warehouse and shipped door to door. The blog is practical, with guides on getting a supplier to lower its MOQ, spotting a fake Alibaba supplier and choosing jewelry metals.

Green Sourcing suits small overseas brands and sellers making modest volumes of custom or private-label goods who need someone in the Pearl River Delta to find factories, check samples and ship. It's a sourcing agent, not an engineering house, so complex electronics or mechanical design needs a separate design partner.
