To start product sourcing services at darkhorse:
1. First, you need to tell us the basic product information, including size, MOQ and target price, and being able to provide pictures or reference links is the most direct method.
2. Then we will find manufacturers to build products for you, including researching appropriate manufacturers, prices, costs, negotiations, and finding the best price for the products you want to sell.
3. It is worth noting that it may take up to 1 to 2 months from the initial communication to the final order.
Darkhorse offers a variety of sourcing and logistics services to help businesses import products from China and Asia. Their pricing structure is based on a tiered model, with the cost of their services increasing as the complexity of the sourcing or logistics requirements increases.
Here is a breakdown of Darkhorse’s pricing structure:
Product Sourcing Service:
- Free to start: This tier is for basic product sourcing, such as finding suppliers and obtaining product samples(pay to supplier).
- 5% commission: If you want to work with darkhorse to negotiate prices with suppliers place orders, and production follow–up, you will be charged a 5% commission on the total cost of your order.
S+1:
- $20 fee-based service: This tier is for more complex sourcing projects, such as sourcing products that are difficult to find or require custom manufacturing.
- 5 – 10% commission: If you want Darkhorse to handle the entire sourcing process, from finding suppliers to placing orders and quality control, you will be charged a 91% commission on the total cost of your order.
S+2:
- Starting at $10 per hour: This tier is for businesses that need more hands-on support from Darkhorse, such as prep service, and full inspection.
- Certificate application: Application for product certificates for your shop or import and export: $100 to $200 per product, depending on the complexity of the certificate.
In addition to their tiered pricing structure, Darkhorse also offers several add-on services, such as:
- Factory inspection: $180-$220 per factory inspection.
To get a quote for your specific sourcing or logistics needs, you can contact Darkhorse directly. I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
No. Suppose you understand the entire process of purchasing, development, production, and shipping and have enough workforce to keep in touch with suppliers. In that case, you don’t need a sourcing company to assist you.
First, transparency and trust are the characteristics that a good sourcing agent must possess.
Second, the best and most professional product sourcing agent will be connected with well-known or reliable suppliers from all over the world.
Third, product-sourcing companies support e-commerce companies in sourcing raw materials or products for sale at competitive prices. They play a vital role in compensating for any strong margins and stable supply chains.
We do not maintain a product catalog for items we have previously handled. Our organization is not a trading company and does not engage in the sale of particular consumer goods or commodities. Instead, we specialize in supply chain management and procurement outsourcing, with a primary focus on sourcing and customizing products by the unique requirements of each client, particularly in emerging markets.
