Frequently asked questions

Is it really free for buyers?

Yes. Posting a request costs nothing and there is no subscription. Manufacturers pay a fee to receive a request; that is how the service is funded.

Who will see my contact details?

Only the manufacturers who take your request, and never more than 3. Your company name, email and phone are not published anywhere. Product, quantity, target market, certifications and your company type are shown to checked manufacturers so they can decide whether they can quote.

How are the manufacturers checked?

Before a factory can take requests, it submits its business license, details of its production site and its product certifications, and we check them. See Supplier checks.

Why only 3 manufacturers?

Enough to compare prices and lead times, few enough that you are not flooded with emails from dozens of sellers.

Why do I need to confirm my email?

It keeps fake requests out. Your request goes live only after you click the link we send you.

Can I withdraw my request?

Yes. Every email we send you has a withdraw link. Once withdrawn, no further manufacturers receive it.

Do you handle payment, quality control or shipping?

No. We connect you with manufacturers; prices, samples, payment terms, inspection and shipping are agreed directly between you and the factory. For a first order, consider a third-party inspection and a secure payment method.

What kind of requests work best?

Specific ones: the product, key specs, quantity, target market and the certifications you need. Attach a spec sheet or reference photos if you have them.
