Introduction: Full-Category Sourcing Backed by Industrial Roots

When international e-commerce brand owners, retail importers, and Amazon sellers decide to outsource their supply chain operations to China, two main questions always arise: "How much does a sourcing agent cost?" and "What services are actually included?"
Many generic consumer goods brokers advertise vague commission structures while secretly adding markups to product costs, or charging extra fees for basic warehouse handling, labeling, and inspection.
At B&C Sourcify, we operate as a full-category sourcing partner focused primarily on finished consumer products—from Home & Kitchen and Personal Care to Apparel, Outdoor Gear, and Electronics. Unlike pure trading middlemen, our foundation is built on deep industrial engineering roots (plastic resins, steel molds, PCBA electronics, and CNC parts). We eliminate hidden middleman markups and back every client with an array of Free Value-Added Warehouse Services designed to lower your logistics expenses and protect your inventory quality.

🤝 1. B&C Sourcify’s Transparent Tiered Commission Scale

  • A: We cover all consumer finished goods categories, including Home & Kitchen, Personal Care, Sports & Outdoor, Apparel, Pet Supplies, and Consumer Electronics—supported by our industrial capability in raw resins, molds, and PCBAs.
  • Q2: How does the free warehouse spot-check work?
  • A: When your factory delivers goods to our warehouse, our team inspects a random sample batch (checking spec matches, quantities, packaging, accessories, surface quality, and US/EU specs) and uploads clear photos to your dashboard for sign-off before shipping.
  • Q3: How do you save us shipping fees through free repackaging?
  • A: Factories often pack goods loosely into oversized cartons, causing shipping carriers to bill high "volumetric weight" surcharges. Our warehouse team optimizes carton space and repacks items densely for free, cutting spatial volume and lowering freight bills.
