Products & online resources

The read between orders.

Three things we're putting online for people who source from China: a subscription tool for spotting what's coming next, a plain-language guide to your first order, and one short email a month from the ground in Yiwu.

Product Radar

A subscription tool that surfaces products gaining traction in the Chinese market before they reach North American shelves — built from what our team sees on the factory floor and in the Yiwu market each week.

Emerging products flagged by category, with the factories already making them
Typical MOQ, sample lead time, and a realistic landed-cost range
A monthly read on what's moving, what's saturating, and what's about to
Bring your own category and we'll tell you whether the signal is real

Buying from China: The Field Guide

A plain-language PDF on how to buy from China without learning the hard way — what to ask a factory, what to check before you pay, and where orders usually go wrong.

How to tell a real manufacturer from a trader posing as one
Sample, tooling, and payment terms worth insisting on
What to inspect before the container closes — and how to prove it
Freight, duty, and paperwork, explained without the jargon

Sourcing is the hard part. These make it shorter.

Take the guide, subscribe to the dispatch, or ask for early access to the tool — and tell us the category you're working in so we send the useful half.
