About sourcing with YiwuHQ

What does YiwuHQ do?

YiwuHQ is a sourcing agent. We buy from Chinese factories and wholesale markets on your behalf: we find the supplier, negotiate the price, arrange samples and inspection, and ship the goods to your country. You deal with one team and receive one quote.

How do I get a price?

Open any product and send a quote request with your quantity and destination, or describe a product that is not listed. We confirm with the factory and reply on your private quote page with a firm unit price, lead time and shipping terms. Asking for a quote is free.

Why do products show a starting price instead of a fixed price?

The starting price is the lowest typical unit price for that product. Your exact price depends on quantity, customization such as logo or packaging, and the shipping terms you choose, so it is confirmed in your quote. Larger quantities usually lower the unit price.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

The minimum order quantity is the smallest order a factory accepts for a product. It is shown on every product page and varies by product, commonly from a few hundred to a few thousand units. If you need fewer, ask: we can often find stock items or a supplier with a lower minimum.

Can you source a product that is not in the catalog?

Yes. Send a sourcing request with a description, photo or reference link, plus your quantity and destination. We look for a suitable factory and reply with a price.

Can I get samples before ordering?

Yes, samples can be arranged for most products before you commit to a full order. Tell us in your quote request and we will include sample cost and timing in our reply.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes. We arrange sea freight, air freight or express courier depending on your volume and deadline, under the Incoterm you choose, such as EXW, FOB, CIF, DAP or DDP.

Do I need an account?

A free account is created when you send your first request, by choosing a password in the same form. It keeps every request, quote and message in one place under My quotes.
