Who you're working with
A real operation in China — not a faceless middleman
Before you send any money, here is who actually handles your order.
We deliberately don't decorate this page with stock or AI “warehouse” photos to look bigger than we are. The proof you actually need comes later, and it is specific to you:
- Real, dated photos of your own goods once they arrive at our Yiwu warehouse — not a generic stock shot.
- A written product check with costs, MOQ, and supplier-risk flags before any supplier is paid.
- A registered import/export company and business license you can ask to see.
A real China-based operation
Physical receiving and prep workspace in Yiwu, not a drop-ship middleman.
Verifiable company details
Registered import/export entity with a business license you can request.

Quote approved first
You see the full report and quote before paying anything.
Pay through traceable channels
You never wire suppliers directly. Funds stay tied to your Supplymo order.

Frequently asked
What do I need to submit?
Send a product link, image, keyword, destination, target quantity, and any packaging or channel requirements you already know.
How long does a report take?
Most lightweight checks are prepared in 24-48 hours after we have a usable product clue.
What if you can't find a good match?
The report says so. A no-match result can still save money before supplier payment.
Do you purchase from any supplier?
No. Supplier, product, route, and restriction risks can stop or delay a purchase.
What if I only need shipping?
Supplymo can quote shipping in some cases, but product and package data are still needed.
