B2B enquiries only · No phone call required · No paid work begins without a written scope and fee
01 / Start where you are
You do not have to restart the sourcing process.
Use an existing factory, quotation or product idea. York confirms the written deliverables, fee and external costs before paid work begins.
Benchmark or coordinate
Keep the factory relationship while quotations, substitutions, samples, packing instructions and a second-source option are reviewed.
Samples and trial orders
Coordinate sample purchasing, agreed visible checks, production follow-up, supplier consolidation and shipment preparation in China.
02 / Evidence before promises
Execution experience, with clear boundaries.
These records show completed sourcing and order work. They are not Australian testimonials, future-performance promises or a claim that every product follows the same route.
Electronics component sets
Nine-line BOM and several suppliers coordinated; changes were recorded for buyer approval.
Ten units passed agreed visible assembly checks—not lab, AQL or certification.Automotive orders shipped
Founder-led sourcing, purchasing, packing, cross-border shipping and after-sales operations.

The brief defines the project—not a fixed catalogue. Safety-critical automotive parts, unauthorised branded goods and unclear compliance routes are not accepted automatically.
03 / Written working route
From a product link to a decision you can act on.
The value is not an anonymous factory list. It is a written route that keeps assumptions, changes, approvals and external costs visible.
Check fit and missing information
Product, quantity, destination, current supplier, timetable and the decision that needs to be made.
Confirm deliverables and fee
Supplier comparison or coordination, assumptions, service fee and external costs are agreed in writing.
Approve important changes
Substitutions, packing, cost changes and the agreed order route stay visible before execution.
Initial review
Checks whether the project fits and what information is missing. It does not include supplier identities, factory quotations or full supplier research.
Buyer responsibility
The Australian importer remains responsible for classification, duty/GST, standards, labels, insurance, market claims and the final decision to import and sell.
04 / First step
Send what you already have.
A product link, an existing quote or a short description is enough to start. No completed template is needed; York will ask for missing details after your enquiry.
Only three fields are required.
No sales call is required.
Your current supplier can remain in the project.
Prefer WhatsApp?

What you receive
A fit review first. Scoped project work next.
Send what you have; York will clarify the missing details with you. The examples below explain the service, not work you must complete before enquiring. Supplier research and order coordination require an agreed paid scope.
What can York provide? View service details (optional)
Fit, missing details and a next step
York reviews the information you provide. A reply may identify a potential fit, ask for missing specifications or explain why a request is outside scope.
- Project fit: potential fit, more information needed or outside scope.
- Details to clarify: product specification, quantity, destination or current supplier stage.
- Next step: clarify the brief, discuss a paid scope or do not proceed.
This does not include supplier identities, factory quotations or full supplier research.
Deliverables defined in writing
If the project is suitable, York confirms the deliverables, service fee, external costs and working assumptions before paid work begins.
- A supplier comparison or a review of buyer-provided quotations.
- A sample record against the agreed criteria.
- An update on an agreed coordination task.
These are possible outputs, not a package included in every project. Goods, samples, freight and third-party costs remain separate as agreed.
