Real projects, real results. Here's how global importers reduced costs, prevented fraud, and built reliable supply chains with Tiger Sourcing China.
Four real sourcing projects — from fraud prevention to cost reduction to logistics optimisation.
A Moscow-based fashion retailer was sourcing through Alibaba intermediaries and consistently paying 35–45% above real factory price. Two quality incidents in one year had damaged their client relationships. Tiger Sourcing identified and verified direct factories in Guangzhou's garment district, negotiated per-unit prices at the factory level, and implemented pre-shipment QC on every order.
A UK-based Amazon FBA seller was managing six separate Shenzhen suppliers, each shipping individually to their UK warehouse. Fragmented shipments meant high per-unit freight costs and inconsistent delivery timelines that caused repeated stock-outs. Tiger Sourcing consolidated all six suppliers into our Shenzhen warehouse, combined into a single weekly shipment, and reduced freight cost by 35% while cutting average delivery time to 8 days.
A Dubai-based cosmetics brand was preparing to place an $80,000 OEM order with a Guangzhou supplier found on Alibaba. Before payment was made, our factory audit team found the supplier to be a trading company with falsified manufacturing certificates — with no production capability whatsoever. We halted the transfer, identified the actual OEM factory the trading company was using, and negotiated directly — saving the client the middleman markup and a potential total loss.
A Berlin-based fashion label wanted to develop an OEM seasonal collection in Guangzhou but had never worked with Chinese factories directly. Their initial quotes from Alibaba suppliers were significantly over budget. Tiger Sourcing identified three verified OEM garment factories in Guangzhou Panyu, managed sample development and revision cycles, and negotiated a final per-unit price 25% below the initial quotes — saving approximately €18,000 against the client's original budget.
