Sourcing request

Start a China sourcing request with what you know.

Send a product link or photo, an approximate quantity and the destination. You can start while specifications, supplier checks or shipping costs are still unclear.

The initial review helps identify the work you need. A detailed request for quotation (RFQ), supplier verification and paid execution can follow once the scope is agreed.

You can begin with the sourcing request form. An initial inquiry does not require completed supplier checks.

What to send

Start with three things: product, quantity and destination.

These starting details help us understand your buying need. Attach specifications and supplier records when available; you do not need to complete every check before contacting us.

Product link or photo

Send a reference that shows what you want to buy. A marketplace link, photo, sketch or existing sample is enough to begin.

Approximate quantity and destination

Tell us roughly how many units you need and where they should go. Include a target date or budget if you have one.

Specifications, if available

Add dimensions, materials, packaging, drawings or a bill of materials (BOM) when you have them. Mark unknown details so we can help clarify them.

Supplier information, if available

Include existing quotes, supplier messages or documents and say what you need checked. You can request help before a supplier is verified.

What Aeonix returns

Understand the proposed work before paying for it.

The first review identifies questions and the next useful step. Detailed supplier work, sample coordination or inspection follows an agreed scope and fee.

Initial review and questions

We review the product, quantity and destination, identify missing information and discuss which support fits your request.

A written scope before paid work

Supplier search, samples, inspection and shipment coordination are scoped separately as needed. Agree fees, exclusions and deliverables before that work starts.

Records for your next decision

The agreed work may produce supplier checks, comparable quotes, sample notes or an inspection plan. Review the evidence and unresolved questions before approving a purchase.

After submit

From your first request to a purchasing decision.

1. Send the starting details

Open the sourcing request form and add a product link or photo, approximate quantity and destination. Other details can follow.

2. Keep your request reference

After submission, the confirmation shows your request reference and next steps. Use that reference when discussing the request.

3. Clarify the work and costs

We ask for any missing information and discuss the support required. Confirm a written scope and charges before paid execution.

4. Review before committing

Supplier checks, sample approval, quote terms and inspection requirements belong before the relevant purchase or payment decision, rather than before the initial inquiry.

Privacy and trust boundaries

Know what you are sharing and approving.

Keep the information supplied, checks completed and work approved clear at each stage of the request.

Share what is needed for review

Product links, photos and specifications help us understand the request. Discuss confidentiality arrangements before sharing sensitive designs or other confidential information.

Keep open questions visible

A quote comparison or supplier review records the checks completed and the gaps remaining. Product testing, customs and regulatory questions may need qualified specialists.

Approve each paid step

Submitting a request does not authorize a purchase. Agree service scope, fees, sample work and payment conditions before money is committed.

Optional buying tools

Want to organise more detail first?

These tools can help organise specifications and quotes. Using them is optional; you can send the initial request now.

Use this when your China sourcing request is still rough and you need a procurement-ready outline before contacting suppliers.

Ready for RFQ intake

Send the product reference and your main question.
