How frequently you normally order
Don’t worry if you don’t have every detail yet. We can discuss the requirements with you before sourcing begins.

Once we understand your requirement, we approach suitable manufacturers and suppliers from our global network.
We review options based on factors such as:
Product specification

Minimum order quantities
Supplier capability
Lead times
Packaging
Shipping requirements
Our aim is to find a supply option that makes commercial sense for your business.

WE COMPARE & NEGOTIATE
We look beyond the first price.
We benchmark available options and negotiate with suppliers where appropriate.
This allows us to consider the overall value of the order rather than simply choosing the lowest headline price.
Where possible, we’ll also help identify opportunities to improve pricing, quantities or order terms.
04
YOU REVIEW THE QUOTE
Clear information before you commit.
We provide you with the relevant product and pricing information so you can decide whether you want to proceed.
Where applicable, your quote may include:
Product cost | Quantity | Shipping | Customs duty | Import-related costs | Delivery | Agreed service costs
We want you to understand the expected cost before placing an order.
05
ORDER & SUPPLIER COORDINATION
Once approved, we get things moving.
After you confirm that you would like to proceed, we coordinate with the supplier and help manage the order requirements.
This can include confirming:
Final specifications
Quantities
Packaging
Production details
Delivery information
Required documentation
We remain your main point of contact throughout the process.
QUALITY & PRE-SHIPMENT CHECKS
Helping make sure the order matches what was agreed.
Depending on the product and order, we can coordinate appropriate checks before the goods are shipped.
This may include reviewing product details, packaging requirements or arranging additional inspection where required.
For regulated products, we can also help coordinate the relevant documentation requirements, although specialist compliance testing or certification may need to be completed by approved third parties.

07
SHIPPING & CUSTOMS
We help coordinate the journey to the UK.
Once the goods are ready, we coordinate the agreed shipping arrangements.
Depending on the order, this may involve:
Collection from the supplier | International freight | Shipping documentation | Customs clearance | Import duty and VAT | UK delivery arrangements
We’ll keep you informed as the shipment progresses.
DELIVERY
Your goods arrive where you need them.
The final stage is delivery to the agreed UK destination.
That could be your shop, warehouse, office or another agreed delivery location.
Our aim is to make the entire sourcing process as straightforward as possible from your first enquiry through to receiving the goods.

NO FIXED CATALOGUE. NO COMPLICATED PROCESS.
You tell us what your business needs.
We find suitable supply options and help manage the process around them.
Whether you're looking for a one-off product, testing a new line or purchasing stock regularly, we can tailor the sourcing process around your requirements.
