How this sample decision was produced
- Buyer-supplied product clue
- Visible 1688 listing and supplier signals
- Cost and route assumptions
- Human review
Official destination sources are cited when customs, tax, or restricted-product checks apply. Unavailable proof stays marked as missing.
What Supplymo checks
All 13 checks. One clear answer.
Thirteen focused checks turn a supplier link into something you can act on. The report distinguishes visible facts from assumptions, missing evidence, and specialist-review boundaries.
Same-product matches
Find and compare same-product suppliers.
Image authenticity
Real product photos versus stock imagery.
Fraud & price anomaly
Price outliers and fake-listing signals.
Supplier due diligence
Business registry and credibility checks.
Restricted & banned screen
Controlled or export-banned product signals.
IP / infringement risk
Counterfeit and brand red flags.
Platform compliance
Certificate and policy needs by channel.
Certification gap
Missing export certificates such as CE or FCC.
MOQ & order fit
Minimum order quantity versus your volume.
Landed cost
Estimated all-in cost to your destination.
Profit & net margin
Real margin after platform fees.
HS code & duty
Classification and tariff assumptions.
Lead time
Production and shipping timing.
Evidence boundary
Listing evidence cannot prove factory capability, final compliance, product performance, or customs outcomes.
Decision boundary
Gaps stay visible so the next step can be Continue, Sample first, Request info, Manual review, or Stop.
Evidence
Inspect the proof.
Published decision examples, registered-company facts, visible boundaries, and order-specific evidence requirements make the method inspectable.
Published teardown templates
Product scenarios. Visible risks. Documented next steps.
Three educational teardown examples show how MOQ, packing, evidence, quality, and shipping assumptions can change the recommended next step.

Aluminum phone stand
ContinueContinue to quote if the buyer accepts a narrow first SKU mix and collects carton/packaging evidence before payment.
- Finish match
- Small visual differences can affect reviews → Request sample or photos
- Color MOQ
- Mixed colors may change price tier → Confirm before payment
- Carton data
- Freight can change landed cost → Collect dimensions

Pet bed
Sample firstSample first if material, odor, compression, and real packed size are not clear. The visible 1688 price is not enough for a first bulk order.
- CBM pressure
- Bulky products can lose margin after shipping → Run CBM check before quote
- Material quality
- Photos do not prove fabric, filling, or odor → Sample first
- SKU spread
- Multiple sizes and colors can break MOQ → Confirm SKU mix

Reusable storage bag
StopStop before supplier payment unless the buyer can clarify material, claims, MOQ, and package volume. A low listing price is not enough.
- Claim language
- Food or safety claims may need review → Do not auto-quote
- MOQ pressure
- Cheap price may require too many units → Stop or sample first
- Packed volume
- Bulky goods can lose margin → Run CBM check
Company facts and order evidence
A China operation you can verify.
Trust should be inspectable through registered-company facts, written decisions, order-linked costs, and dated evidence from your own goods.
Company identity
Registered in Yiwu. Open to buyer due diligence.
The published entity names and verification steps let buyers run an independent check without placing a business license on the homepage.
United Profit Import and Export Co., Ltd.
义乌市连盈国际贸易有限公司
- China operating base
- Yiwu, Zhejiang, China
- Operational workflow
- Import and export trade, assisted ordering, China receiving, evidence, labeling, and prep
Proof tied to your order
The stronger trust signal is evidence from your own goods.
Company facts establish who operates the service. Your decision record shows what was checked, approved, received, and handed off.
Before supplier payment
A reviewed report separates visible facts, assumptions, missing evidence, and one recommended next step.
Before the 1688 order
The written quote keeps approved product, service, prep, shipping, and import-cost blocks attached to the order.
After China receiving
When receiving is part of the order, dated photos document your goods before approved prep or dispatch.
Generic warehouse imagery is context, not proof. Order-specific evidence begins after your goods reach the Yiwu workflow.
What we do — and do not do
Written report before supplier payment
Decisions before you pay any supplier.
No bulk order before verification
Validate with a sample or evidence first.
Risk flags before ordering
Risks stay visible before the quote.
No lowest-price guarantee
We focus on total cost and reliable delivery.
No counterfeit or restricted goods
Legal, carrier, and platform boundaries apply.
Photos when China receiving is included
When ordered, see dated photos of your own goods before approved prep or dispatch.
How your money moves
Quote approved first
You see the report and quote before paying anything.
Order-linked payment record
Approved cost blocks are recorded against the Supplymo order.
Order evidence before shipping
When China receiving is included, dated warehouse evidence arrives before the international leg.
You approve a written quote before supplier purchase. Required funds and approved cost blocks are recorded against the Supplymo order.
Read cancellation and refund boundariesMoney path
See the complete cost.
Expose the commercial fit, keep assumptions visible, and test the landed-cost scenario before committing to quantity.
Cost components & fit
The unit price is not the cost stack.
A usable route includes China domestic shipping, labeling and prep, assisted ordering, international freight, duty and tax assumptions — plus a clear statement of who this service is and is not for.
Example cost stack
$2.35 becomes an estimated $3.87
1688 unit price (EXW)
$2.3560.7%
China domestic shipping
$0.256.5%
Labeling / prep

Landed-cost calculator
Change the inputs. See the landed cost.
Run the same estimate with your destination, unit price, quantity, shipment weight, current freight quote, and optional HS code. No sign-up; no invented freight rate.
Landed Cost Calculator
Product cost, your freight input, duty, and import tax in one estimate — about 10 seconds, no sign-up.
Result
Add the route freight estimate, then calculate. Product, freight, duty, and import tax stay visible as separate assumptions.
China workflow
Follow the China handoff.
Carry the decision through quote approval, China receiving, photo evidence, prep, and the international route you approve.
From check to delivery
One accountable path from check to delivery.
A first order should rely on visible evidence, not blind trust. The decision record can continue into approved ordering, China receiving, prep, and shipping scope.
Workflow illustrations show the documented handoffs. When China receiving and an evidence scope are included in the approved quote, dated photos document the agreed views of your goods.

China receiving
When included in the quote, goods arrive at the Yiwu workspace.

Evidence review
The approved evidence scope covers agreed photos, counts, and order details.

Labeling & prep
Approved labeling, repack, and prep work follows the quoted scope.

Shipping handoff
The approved shipment moves to the chosen route.
Product check
You submit a link or product clue.
Quote approval
We share the report and quote.
China receiving
When included, we receive at the Yiwu workspace.
Photo evidence
We send the dated views agreed in the quote.
Prep / labeling
Approved labeling and prep follow the quoted scope.
Shipping handoff
We hand off to your chosen route.
Evidence scope
What receiving evidence can prove.
The evidence level follows the written scope. A receiving photo is not automatically a full inspection.
- Basic receiving photos
- Document visible arrival, outer condition, labels, and agreed packing views.
- Detailed inspection
- Needs written acceptance criteria, sample size, and a separately approved scope.
- Specialist proof
- Lab testing, certification, factory audit, carrier, and customs acceptance remain separate reviews.
Product cost stays separate, assumptions stay visible, and you approve before supplier payment and again before the international shipping leg.
Our commitment
Know the commercial boundary.
See why a recommendation can end in Stop, how the operating model differs, and what each paid step includes.
Aligned incentives
Advice that can end in Stop.
The complete written report has a standard price of $29 and is $0 during the limited-time offer. Supplymo charges only separately disclosed, approved operator work; a reviewed report can still recommend Stop when the evidence does not support proceeding.
We can recommend Stop
Even when stopping means there is no order.
Itemized cost blocks
Product, China freight, service, prep, shipping, and import assumptions stay separate.
Evidence before money moves
Report, gaps, assumptions, and boundaries stay visible.
Your call, your pace
You decide whether to sample, ask for evidence, proceed, or stop.
A valid result can be Continue, Sample first, Request info, Manual review, or Stop.
How we compare
DIY, a traditional agent, or Supplymo.
The goal may be the same — a safer first order — but the evidence, cost visibility, and ability to recommend Stop are different.

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 reports are prepared in 24–48 hours after we have usable product, quantity, and destination details. Complex or restricted products may need more time and manual review.
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.
Is Supplymo a China sourcing agent?
Yes. Supplymo works as a China sourcing agent for overseas sellers, but the focus is the pre-payment decision: we check product match, supplier risk, and landed cost before you pay, and you approve a written quote before any supplier payment. We are not a lowest-price buying service or a personal Taobao parcel-forwarding agent.
