China Sourcing

China Sourcing & Procurement Services for African Importers

Source products directly from verified Chinese manufacturers — we negotiate, inspect quality, consolidate and ship to Africa or North America without the middlemen.

About this service

Buying directly from China can cut your product cost by 30–70% — but only if you know which suppliers to trust, how to negotiate, and how to inspect quality before goods leave the factory. VELOX Logistics gives you that infrastructure as a service.

Our China team vets factories, negotiates pricing, performs on-site quality inspections and consolidates orders for shipment to Africa, Canada or anywhere else. You get factory-direct prices with the protection of a Canadian-based partner.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know the Chinese factories are legitimate?

We verify business licenses, audit factory facilities, check production capacity, and only work with suppliers we've vetted in person.

Do you handle the payment to the supplier?

Yes. We can pay the factory on your behalf in CNY or USD, holding the funds in escrow until QC passes — protecting your money.

What's the minimum order I can source?

It depends on the factory, but we can usually negotiate MOQs starting at 50–500 units for most consumer products.

Can you ship from China directly to Africa?

Yes. We arrange direct China-to-Africa ocean shipments without routing through Canada — often the cheapest path.

Do you offer private-label or custom-branded products?

Yes. We coordinate logo printing, custom packaging and barcoding directly at the factory.
