Your sourcing desk in Xi'an, Shaanxi.

QinSource is the sourcing desk of Lee, a named, accountable man on the ground in Xi'an. We help overseas companies source Shaanxi-made products — sourcing, supplier verification, quality checks and shipment follow-up, with every fee on the table.

One province, known in depth — not a catalogue of everything China makes.

A named person, not a call center

You deal with Lee in Xi'an from first inquiry to final delivery — one accountable counterpart.

Transparent fees

Supplier prices and receipts are shared with you. No hidden markups, ever.

Compliance first

No counterfeits, no controlled goods, no IP-infringing products. If it isn't clean, we don't touch it.

What the desk does

Four services, one point of contact. Field work is executed by vetted local inspection partners and reviewed by Lee before anything reaches you.

01

Sourcing & negotiation

We find Shaanxi suppliers for your product, get real prices, and negotiate on your side of the table — including hand- vs. machine-grade options where a craft offers both.

02

Supplier verification & factory audits

Before you commit, the supplier is checked on the ground: premises, capacity, certificates and export readiness, documented in a written report.

03

Quality inspections with dual reports

Pre-shipment inspections come as two documents: the inspector's raw report, plus Lee's reviewed, signed-off English report. The data always matches.

04

Your remote man on the ground

Hire Lee as your part-time presence in Shaanxi — by the hour, by the day, or on a monthly retainer. Scope is negotiated per task.

Shaanxi products we source

Categories, not a shop: nothing here carries a price tag or a checkout. Tell us your quantity and destination — we quote the full landed picture, fees included.

Second wave — verified, then quoted

Promising lines where we complete factory matching and checks before quoting.

  • Yulin wool cold-weather clothing & cashmere — factory matching plus fibre-composition checks on the ground.
  • Baoji horse-spoon face masks — the painted mashao folk-art tradition, for gift and décor channels.
  • Original cultural-creative products — new designs built on public-domain Tang-dynasty elements, created clean from the start.

Research-only lines

We don't sell these off a shelf — we sell the groundwork: origin research, factory verification and small-batch custom matching.

  • Fengxiang woodblock New Year paintings and Shaanxi farmer paintings.
  • Yaotou kiln black porcelain — a revived historic kiln tradition.
  • Lantian jade and Suide stone carving — material and workshop verification first.
How quoting works: tell us your quantity and destination — we quote the full landed picture, fees included. No agricultural products: QinSource works in crafts, consumer goods and industrial lines only.

How it works

Five steps from first message to goods on the water — with the paperwork shared at every stage.

1

Inquiry

You send the product, quantity and destination. We say plainly whether it's in scope.

2

Sourcing & quotation

Supplier options with real prices — and our fee stated separately, before you commit.

3

Samples

Samples sourced, checked against your spec and shipped to you for approval.

4

Production follow-up

Your order is followed at the factory, with progress reported as it happens.

5

Inspection & shipment

Pre-shipment inspection with dual reports, then shipment watched until it leaves.

  • Product sourcing & price negotiationFinding and vetting Shaanxi suppliers, then negotiating price and terms on your behalf.
  • Supplier verification & factory auditsExecuted by vetted local inspection partners, reviewed by Lee — you see the findings, not a summary of them.
  • Pre-shipment inspections — dual reportsThe inspector's raw report plus Lee's reviewed, signed-off English report. Two documents, one set of data.
  • Order follow-up & shipment watchingProduction milestones chased and reported; loading and dispatch confirmed before goods leave China.
  • Field research & investigationFor Shaanxi raw materials and industrial products: paid on-the-ground research where intermediating the bulk trade itself isn't realistic.
  • Remote hireHire Lee as your part-time man on the ground in Shaanxi — hourly, per-day or monthly retainer, scope negotiated per task.

How export is handled

QinSource is your sourcing desk, not an exporter of record. We work with export-qualified suppliers and licensed export partners, so your goods move through suppliers and partners who hold the export qualifications — and you see exactly who they are.

Pricing & transparency

Fees are quoted before work starts. Supplier invoices and receipts are shared with you. No hidden markups and no factory kickbacks — if a supplier offers one, it is disclosed and passed to you.

ServiceIndicative anchorNotes
Sourcing commission 3–10%

Negotiated per order; the 3–10% range reflects the current market for sourcing services. Your rate is fixed in the quote, before work starts.

Remote support from $15–30 / hour

Lee as your remote man on the ground: inquiries chased, suppliers called, problems followed up — billed by the hour.

Field research / inspection day rate from $350 / day

For Xi'an. Trips elsewhere in Shaanxi are quoted per trip, travel included, before anyone sets out.

Trial retainer from $500 / month

A limited-hours monthly retainer for ongoing work — the low-commitment way to test the relationship.

All figures are indicative anchors, not a price list. Your quote is confirmed in writing for the specific inquiry before any work starts — and it doesn't move afterwards.

About QinSource

Lee, founder of QinSource
LeeFounder, QinSource · based in Xi'an, Shaanxi

What overseas companies lack is not another agent who promises he can find anything. It's a counterpart who knows one region deeply — and who can still be reached when something goes wrong.

That is why QinSource covers Shaanxi only. The suppliers are all in-province: their workshops, clusters and habits are known ground, not a directory listing. In short — your man in Xi'an for Shaanxi's products.

Lee sits in Xi'an and does the trade work himself: inquiries, supplier search, negotiation, order follow-up, and reviewing the field reports before they reach you. He answers for the delivery. The field work itself — inspections, factory audits, site research — is executed by vetted local inspection partners whom Lee briefs and whose raw findings he reviews line by line; his signed-off English report organises and endorses their findings, and never alters them.

QinSource does not handle agricultural products, controlled goods, counterfeits or anything that infringes someone else's IP.

Strictly compliant work only.
