China questions
Straight answers.
Anything else, ask us directly. A principal replies, not a bot.
[email protected]Do you still source from China?
Yes. Many clients keep their China suppliers for speed and depth, and add a second source in India or Vietnam. Our Ningbo office manages China programs directly.
How do you check a Chinese supplier is a real factory?
We check the business licence scope, the registered address, export history and a live video walk-through, then audit on site before any deposit is paid.
When do Chinese factories close for holidays?
Chinese New Year closes most factories for two to four weeks between late January and February, and Golden Week in early October pauses production for about a week. We plan orders around both.
