One point of contactDirect project coordination by York from Yiwu, China.
01 / Start from your current position

You do not have to restart the sourcing process.

Choose the stage where you actually need help. Each service starts with an initial project review. If the project is suitable, York then proposes a written scope of work and fee.

01

Find and compare potential suppliers

You have a product reference, specification or target outcome and need suitable suppliers in China compared on more than headline price.

02

Manage your existing supplier

You already found a supplier. York can coordinate quotations, substitutions, samples, packaging, agreed checks and a second-source comparison while you retain the supplier relationship.

03

Manage samples and pilot orders

You have an approved direction and need sample purchasing in China, agreed visual checks, multi-supplier consolidation, production progress monitoring or shipment coordination.

02 / Specialist starting points

Broad sourcing ability. Focused category entry points.

York can assess many commercial products, but these categories are where current operating experience and evidence create a more useful first conversation.

Fashion accessories & jewellery

Hair ties and scrunchies through a family-run production partner, plus fashion jewellery development, selected pearl designs, modifications, sampling and retail packaging.

Your product is not listed?

The category list is a routing tool, not a claim that York only handles these products.

03 / Evidence before promises

Real work, shown with careful boundaries.

These records demonstrate operating experience. They are not invented client counts, future-performance guarantees or claims that every product follows the same process.

India / ElectronicsCompleted delivery

Redacted component bill of materials for an educational electronics kit

Multi-supplier educational electronics kit

A buyer-provided nine-line BOM was coordinated across multiple suppliers. Selected high-cost components were replaced with functionally similar models only after written buyer approval.

Ten production samples were checked against the agreed visual criteria for assembly and soldering. This was not a laboratory test, formal batch-level AQL sampling inspection or certification of the final children’s product.

Mexico / AutomotiveOperating record
10,000+direct-to-customer orders shipped

Cross-border orders shipped from China to Mexico

Founder-led e-commerce operations covering product selection, supplier sourcing, purchasing, cost control, packaging, cross-border shipping and after-sales support for automotive and powersports accessories.

This figure refers to individual marketplace orders shipped directly from China to end customers in Mexico—not 10,000 sourcing projects or sourcing-service clients. Product range and compliance are reviewed separately for each commercial project.

Hair accessoriesCompleted order

Anonymised public evidence summary for a hair-accessory packing forecast

Six base styles across nine cartons

An anonymised pre-shipment packing forecast for a completed hair-accessory order covered six base styles, nine cartons and 7,320 planned pieces.

The forecast supports the planned packing record; it does not independently prove final quantity, destination, customs clearance or customer receipt. Prices, supplier details and personal information are withheld.

04 / The working method

A focused sourcing service should be clear and accountable.

The differentiation is not a claim to have the largest database. It is a disciplined, written route from brief to decision and execution.

01

Initial review before research

The initial project review checks category, quantity, destination, budget logic and missing specifications. It does not release supplier identities or detailed quotations.

02

One written scope of work

Deliverables, service fee, external costs, assumptions and the start of work are confirmed before payment.

03

Compare the whole route

MOQ, quotation, sample terms, lead time, packaging, agreed checks and logistics implications matter alongside unit price.

04

Approve before change

Substitutions, material changes, packaging decisions and important cost changes are recorded for buyer approval.

05

Separate service fees from external project costs

Goods, freight, duties, taxes and third-party inspection or testing are not hidden inside a vague all-in promise.

Send what you already have.

No sales call required.
No paid work starts without a written scope and fee.
Your existing supplier can remain part of the comparison.
A polite “not suitable” is a valid outcome.

By submitting, you ask York Sourcing to assess and respond to this B2B request and acknowledge our Privacy & Cookie Policy, Terms of Service and Service & Refund Policy. The initial project review does not include supplier identities, factory quotations or full supplier research. The completed form goes to York’s business inbox; WhatsApp remains optional for sending photos after submission.

Responsible scope

York Sourcing does not handle counterfeit goods, personal shopping, unlawful products or projects that require safety, performance or compliance claims without an agreed verification route. Basic visual checks against agreed criteria are not a formal factory audit, formal batch-level AQL sampling inspection, engineering acceptance, laboratory test or certification.
