Why Sinobridge

Why SinoBridge

Honest answer first.

SinoBridge vs a traditional agent vs doing it yourself

You can order from Alibaba or 1688 yourself. Here’s what each path actually gives you:

Feature
SinoBridge
Traditional sourcing agent
Ordering from 1688 / Alibaba yourself
How you pay
Flat $49 / $199 service fees, or 5% sourcing commission ($199 minimum). Published up front.
Often 5–10% commission, sometimes plus factory markups.
No fee — you pay with your time and risk.
Factory contacts
Yours. We introduce, you own the relationship.
Often kept by the agent — you’re locked in.
Yours — if you can find and vet them yourself.
Transparent pricing
Itemized quotes — product, service fee, shipping. Nothing hidden.
Often a % commission with unclear breakdown.
You see the factory price, but no service is included.
Supplier kickbacks
None. You approve every quote before we buy.
Varies — always ask how they get paid.
N/A
Pre-shipment QC
Photo & video report before anything ships.
Varies by agent.
None — defects surface when customers complain.
Consolidation
Multiple suppliers, one shipment, one invoice.
Varies by agent.
Multiple slow, pricey parcels.
Communication
English, US hours.
Varies by agent.
Chinese only.

Bilingual team, US-timezone communication

English support in US hours. We handle the Chinese side.

Pre-shipment inspection in China

A note from the founder

“I founded SinoBridge for one reason: too many US sellers either overpay middlemen or gamble on 1688 with no QC. We’re a new company, so I’ll be straight with you — no inflated claims, no fake reviews. Transparent pricing, photo and video proof before anything ships, and if we can’t source your product well, we’ll tell you.”

— Lee, Founder of SinoBridge

Independent buyer’s agent for US small sellers

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does sourcing take?

We usually send quotes within 2–5 business days after receiving your request.

What is the MOQ?

Depends on the product and supplier. Small trial orders are fine.

How does shipping work? How long does it take to the US?

Every quote lists current freight options with transit estimates for your specific order. Rates and times move with the market, so we quote them fresh instead of printing fixed numbers.

What happened to the $800 duty-free de minimis? Does it affect my order?

The $800 duty-free de minimis rule ended in 2025 and is now suspended indefinitely — every shipment into the US, no matter how small, is subject to import duties and entry procedures. Your landed cost has five parts: product cost, international freight, US import duty (varies by product — your forwarder or customs broker can quote it), customs clearance fees, and US domestic delivery. If you don’t have your own US customs broker, choose DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) so the duty is included in your quote — no surprise bills at the border.

How do I pay you?

Approve the quote first, then pay. No payment before approval.

What if products arrive defective?

Send photos within 7 days. We’ll help you claim with the factory — rework, replacement, or refund negotiation.

I’m new to importing — can you help?

Yes — tell us what you want to sell. We handle the China side.

What if my order is too small or too early?

We’ll tell you honestly. Not a fit? We won’t take your money — free advice instead.
