RICHAO

Sourcing & Coordination

From ideas
to products,
together.

Your China-side sourcing partner, helping global brands develop and bring better products to life.

Toys · Collectibles · Board Games · Gifts · Custom Consumer Products

What We Do

Sourcing, handled as a project — not a transaction.

Most sourcing stops at finding a factory. RICHAO works on the China side of your supply chain: we define requirements with you, approach suppliers, collect and compare quotations, coordinate samples, and follow production through to shipment.

Instead of juggling marketplaces, translators and time zones, you work with one structured partner who keeps the whole project moving — and keeps you informed at every checkpoint.

Product sampling and development process

Services

Three ways to work with us.

Choose the level of involvement your project needs — from a focused quotation exercise to full multi-supplier coordination.

01

Standard Sourcing

For defined products that need the right supplier and clear, comparable quotations.

You already know what you want to buy. The product is standardised or only lightly customised, and you need a China-side partner to find suppliers, collect quotations and move the order forward.

  • Supplier sourcing
  • RFQ preparation
  • Supplier communication
  • Quotation collection
  • Quotation comparison
  • Sample coordination
  • Basic order follow-up
02

Custom Development

For custom products, branded packaging and samples developed together with suppliers.

Your product needs customisation — bespoke items, custom packaging, logos, labels or instructions — and you want a partner to manage development and sampling with suppliers on the China side.

  • Supplier sourcing
  • Custom product development coordination
  • Sampling
  • Packaging coordination
  • Logo, label & instruction coordination
  • Quotation negotiation
  • Production follow-up
  • Quality coordination
03

Project Management

For multi-SKU, multi-supplier projects that need one point of full coordination.

Your project spans several products, several suppliers, or a full consolidation — multiple production schedules, packaging, inspection and shipments that need to arrive as one coherent delivery.

  • Multiple supplier coordination
  • Multi-SKU project tracking
  • Production timeline management
  • Consolidation coordination
  • Quality inspection coordination
  • Packaging & assembly coordination
  • Split shipment coordination
  • Shipping coordination

The RICHAO Method

Three principles, every project.

No grand claims — just the way we work, which you can check on any engagement.

R / 01

Clarity

Requirements are written down and confirmed before sourcing starts. Quotations are compared on consistent terms, so decisions rest on clear trade-offs instead of guesswork.

R / 02

Coordination

One team coordinates suppliers, samples, packaging, inspection and shipping on the China side — in the local language, time zone and business culture.

R / 03

Visibility

You get updates at defined checkpoints — RFQ results, sample feedback, production progress — in plain, direct language, with problems surfaced early.

FAQ

Common questions.

Short answers to what prospects ask most. If yours isn't here, the request form is still the best starting point.

Can you work with low MOQs?

It depends on the product and the supplier. We tell you early what realistic minimums look like for your requirement, and where small-batch options exist — before you invest time in a direction that won't work.

Do you only source toys?

No. Toys, collectibles and board games are categories we know well, but we work across consumer products, gifts, packaging and custom projects. The process is the same; the supplier pool differs.

Can you help develop a custom product from an idea?

Yes — that is what Custom Development covers. We translate your requirement into supplier-ready specifications, coordinate sampling and iterate with you before production.

Can you work with suppliers I already have?

Yes. We can take over coordination, quality follow-up or consolidation for existing suppliers, or run new sourcing in parallel and compare.

Can you arrange samples and quality inspections?

Yes. Sample requests, reviews and courier coordination are a standard part of the process, and quality inspection can be scheduled before goods leave the factory.

Do you handle shipping?

We coordinate shipping — booking, consolidation and documentation with freight partners. We are not a carrier ourselves, and we don't mark up freight.
