PrintPanda’s China sourcing service in San Diego helps small businesses turn a purchasing idea into a clear supplier inquiry. A specific request makes it easier to compare quotations and avoid ordering the wrong product.
Start with the product specification
Send a product photo or reference link, the intended use, material, dimensions and any required color or finish. A picture alone may leave important details unclear, so list the features that must match and those that can change.
Set the quantity, budget and destination
Include the quantity for the first order, your target budget and the delivery city or country. Tell us whether the budget is for goods alone or should cover shipping and other costs. If you have a required date, include it so the available production and shipping options can be reviewed.
Three examples of useful sourcing briefs
- Market vendor: a photo of a display item, its dimensions, desired first-order quantity and delivery ZIP code.
- Retail shop: packaging material, size, print requirements, quantity and the budget for a trial batch.
- School or organization: a gift concept, material, logo artwork, number of recipients and the event date.
Compare the complete quote
Compare specifications, supplier minimum quantities, production time and the agreed checks as well as the goods price. Shipping, duties, taxes, samples and inspection charges can change the overall cost. Review these items before approving an order.
PrintPanda’s service pricing
Our minimum goods purchase is $100 USD. The one-time service fee is 20% of the agreed purchase amount. Shipping, duties, taxes and other third-party charges are additional. For example, $100 in goods has a $20 service fee, giving a $120 subtotal before those additional costs. Each request receives its own written quote.
Copy this checklist into your inquiry
