Submit a sourcing request and our research team finds verified wholesalers, liquidators, and dropshippers across the EU, UK, and North America — included with Premium+.
Every Custom Sourcing report includes the same six elements, prepared by our research team and translated to English where the source supplier writes in another language.
Up to five supplier matches per request, drawn from our verified directory and our research network's foreign-market contacts. Where we find more than five, you receive the full set at no extra charge.
Read the FAQCompany name, registered address, head office, warehouses, branches, phone numbers, email addresses, and web/social links — everything you need to open a conversation directly.
Where the supplier shares them: per-unit pricing across the quantity bands relevant to your target volume, plus any threshold pricing breaks.
Product specs aligned to your request: condition grade, packaging, certifications (CE, FDA, REACH), brand-authorization status where relevant, and material composition.
Condition gradesPayment terms, MOQ, lead time, Incoterms, sample availability, and return/replacement policy — translated to English where the source supplier writes in another language.
Once you've picked a match, open a Premium+ messaging thread with the supplier directly from your dashboard. Attachments, templates, and read receipts — no external email shuffle.
Four simple steps. No phone calls, no paid intake, no broker layer between you and the supplier.
In your dashboard, fill out the request form: product name, brand if any, category, source countries, target price, quantity, condition grade, special requirements (dropshipping, white-label, custom packaging, organic/eco), and any specifications.
Status flips to Processing. Our team works our verified directory plus international research sources — foreign-market specialists, industry databases, and personal contacts — to find suppliers matching your specification.
Status flips to Processed. Up to five supplier matches with full contact details, quoted prices, terms, and specifications land in your dashboard. Every report is in English; supplier-language documents are translated where needed.
Pick the matches you like and start an in-app conversation directly with the supplier. Negotiate terms, request samples, place a trial order — entirely without commission, broker fees, or platform takes.
Custom Sourcing is at its best when you know what you want and need an experienced research team to find verified suppliers fast.
You're starting out and don't yet have direct relationships with wholesalers in your category. Custom Sourcing replaces dozens of cold-outreach emails with a 48-hour matched report you can act on immediately.
You're already trading in one vertical and want to add a second — say, beauty alongside fashion. We pull verified suppliers in the new category so you don't restart the discovery cycle from zero.
You need a verified channel for a specific brand. We surface authorized distributors, parallel-import specialists, and stock channels matched to your authentic-supply requirements.
Sourcing in a language you don't speak? We translate the supplier's terms, specifications, and quotes into English in the report — at no extra charge, with no language barrier between you and a deal.
Your time is better spent negotiating than searching. Our team narrows thousands of options to the five best matches for your specification, so you can move from research to procurement in days rather than weeks.
You're already paying for Premium+ — Custom Sourcing is included. Use it as part of your buying rhythm: one to three active requests at a time, no per-search fee, no cap on the total over the life of your Premium+ access.
Once you're on Premium+, everything below is one click away inside your dashboard.
Quick to fill: product name, brand, category, target price band (Under £500 → £25K+), quantity, source countries, condition grade, and any special requirements.
