TrueSource

The China Sourcing Agent Who Shows You Every Receipt

I’m Felix Zhang. I compare prices across 1688, Taobao and Pinduoduo — the platforms Chinese businesses buy from — purchase the best-value options at exactly what I pay, check every item by hand, and pack everything into one shipment for your forwarder. You see my receipts. My fee is a separate line.

Why China Prices Are So Hard to Trust

The same product can sell in China for ¥2 or ¥20, and the listing rarely tells you why. Export sites like Alibaba and AliExpress show prices set for overseas buyers. Many sourcing agents add a markup you never see, or take a cut from the seller. And once you pay, you can’t look at the goods until they land.

I started TrueSource to fix the parts I can: show you the real domestic price, and check the goods before they leave China.

How I Work Differently

Real prices, shown in full

For every item I buy, you get the order screenshot and the product link. Check the price yourself, anytime.

Checked by hand

I open, count and inspect every product, and send you photos — and video if you like — before anything ships.

Many sellers, one shipment

Buy from ten different sellers. I receive everything, repack it, and hand one consolidated shipment to your freight forwarder.

What I Can Buy for You

I focus on small, light, everyday products, where China’s domestic platforms offer huge choice and big price gaps:

Not sure if your product fits? Send it over — the price check is free.

What I don't handle

Counterfeits or brand replicas, anything with batteries, products for children under 3, food or food-contact items, and cosmetics.

How It Works

  1. Send me your list — product links or photos, quantities, target prices.
  2. Get real prices within 24 hours — up to 5 products, free.
  3. Approve and pay — goods at cost, plus my service fee.
  4. I buy, check and pack — with photos of every item before it ships.
  5. Hand-off to your forwarder — no forwarder yet? I’ll introduce one for free.

Quick Answers

Do you take commissions from sellers?

No. My only income is the service fee you see on your invoice.

Is there a minimum order?

No minimum quantity. Each order has a $10 minimum service fee. If shipping costs would make a very small order not worth it, I’ll tell you before you pay.

Do you handle international shipping?

No. I hand your goods to your freight forwarder. If you don’t have one, I’ll introduce one at no charge.
