The Factory Floor Store: Every Tool to Source China Safely
This is the whole shelf, in one place. Tools to vet a factory before you wire a cent. Contracts that protect your design and your margin. A calculator that kills landed-cost surprises. A negotiation pack so you stop getting out-talked. Everything's built by an operator who walks real Shanghai factory floors every week and sells equipment out of China himself, so there's no vendor agenda baked in. Pick what fits where you are right now, whether this is your first order or your hundredth. Instant download. Yours to keep. Reuse it on every order you ever place.

Sourcing Tools
Know who you're dealing with and what it'll really cost. These two do the homework that protects your deposit.
The 7-Factor Supplier Vetting System
Separate real factories from trading-company fronts before your money's on a wire you can't recall.
View →The Tariff & Landed-Cost Calculator
Build your real per-unit landed cost with duty, freight, and fees in, so the quote that looked cheap can't bury your margin.
View →China Contracts
Contracts written for how China actually enforces them, not how a US template wishes it did. Each one's a plain-English template you fill in and reuse on every order. These are starting points, not legal advice; have your counsel review before a major order. Need more than the four below? The full Contract Library lives at /china-contracts.
