Cost of Product Sourcing

Product Sourcing - Costs and Pricing

Our approach to determine the cost of product sourcing is very simple:

We strive to make our partnerships mutually beneficial

Our goal is for you to be successful! We will not overcharge, otherwise you will probably look elsewhere. We also will not work with people who are comparing our prices with unreasonably cheap dumping websites such as Ali Express. 

Our goals are to develop long lasting relationships, where we can solve deep and meaningful problems through product design and supply chain management. We aren’t trying to just make a quick buck.
