K9 China / Sourcing made simple
K9 China
A clearer way to source from China.
From the first product brief to the details that matter, start with a sourcing enquiry built around what your business actually needs.
A partner for the details
There is more to sourcing than finding a product.
The right questions at the right time can make a complicated process easier to navigate. From communicating your brief to discussing samples, checks and shipping needs, we focus on the practical details that matter to your project.
How sourcing works
01 / Supplier communication
One clearer conversation, from brief to next steps.
Sourcing across borders brings questions about specifications, quantities and what is actually possible. We can help communicate your requirements with suppliers in China, clarify the details and bring questions back to you before decisions are made.
- Requirements and specification clarification
- Questions around quantities and customization
- Keeping changes and decisions in focus
02 / Samples & development
See the details before moving forward.
A photograph rarely tells the whole story. Materials, finish, dimensions and packaging can all affect the result. When samples are part of a project, we can help coordinate the requirements and feedback that make a review useful.
- Material and finish references
- Sample feedback and revisions
- Packaging and presentation requirements
03 / Quality & inspection
Define what good looks like — then check against it.
Quality is easier to discuss when the criteria are specific. We can help set out the points to check, from dimensions and appearance to packaging, and discuss inspection needs for the product and stage of your order.
- Product-specific check points
- Appearance, measurements and finish
- Inspection needs before shipment
04 / Logistics planning
Think beyond the product itself.
Where goods are going, how they are packed and whether several items need to travel together are part of a useful sourcing brief. We can discuss packaging, consolidation and shipment requirements early so important details are not left until the end.
- Destination and delivery requirements
- Protective and retail packaging
- Consolidation considerations
Getting started
A useful enquiry starts with what you know.
