How It Works

From your brief to your goods in Ireland.

Four clear steps. No surprises. Everything managed from the factory floor to your Irish door.

  1. 01

    You send me a brief

    Tell me the product, rough quantity, any spec or reference you have, and your timeline. WhatsApp or email is fine. Ten minutes of your time is enough to get started.

    No long forms. No onboarding process. Just a direct conversation about what you need.

    Detail: What helps: product name or reference, target quantity, any samples or images you have, budget range, and timeline.
  2. 02

    I identify and vet the right factory

    Based on your brief, I identify manufacturers — not trading companies — with the right capability. I visit the facility, verify their production capacity, check their export history, and negotiate price at factory level.

    The sourcing report you receive includes a shortlist of vetted suppliers, FOB pricing, sample costs, MOQs, and lead times.

    Detail: Active factory relationships across Zhengzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan, Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Zhongshan — covering every major Irish import category.
  3. 03

    Pre-shipment QC and CE compliance check

    Once production is complete, I inspect your order at the factory before a container is sealed. This is a physical inspection — not a paperwork review.

    For regulated products (electronics, construction materials, children's apparel), we verify CE marking documentation and EU compliance standards at the point of origin. Problems fixed in China are cheap. Problems fixed after the goods land in Dublin are expensive.

    Detail: Inspection covers: product count, visual quality, labelling and packaging requirements, certification verification, and carton/pallet spec.
  4. 04

    Freight coordination and Irish delivery

    I coordinate the freight booking, export documentation, and shipping logistics. For full container loads (FCL) or consolidated shipments (LCL), I work with established freight partners to get your goods to Ireland efficiently.

    You get advance shipment notification, tracking references, and a clear landed cost breakdown — no surprises at the port.

    Detail: Transit times: ~25–35 days sea freight from Shenzhen/Guangzhou to Dublin. Air freight available for urgent, lower-volume shipments.
