"It was my first time at the Canton Fair and I was worried about the size of it. Our interpreter met us at the hotel each morning and had a plan for which halls to visit. She helped us talk with 14 suppliers in three days and kept notes on every meeting. We placed two trial orders before we flew home."
"The registration, badge and hotel were all sorted before I arrived. On the fair days my interpreter asked suppliers the questions I didn't know to ask, like MOQ, lead times and certificates. I left with a clear shortlist."
"After Phase 2 of the fair we wanted to see two factories with our own eyes. The team arranged the visits, the car and the translation. Seeing the production lines in person changed which supplier we chose."
"Four days of meetings in Shanghai, all well organised. Our guide knew the business districts, booked the transport and translated every meeting clearly. I could focus on negotiating instead of logistics."
"We had two days of meetings with a partner company, and then one free day. The team planned both: a professional interpreter for the meetings and a cultural guide for the Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace. Everything was on time."
"Ten days and three cities. Culture in Beijing, meetings in Shanghai, markets and the fair in Guangzhou. One team handled the whole route, train tickets, hotels and a guide in each city. I would book this again for next season."
"I came to buy clothing stock for my shop and had no idea where to start. We spent two days in the wholesale markets around Baiyun and Shahe. My guide helped me compare prices, talk with the sellers and arrange shipping to a cargo company."
"A very good escort. He helped us at the exhibition in Guangzhou and paid close attention to every detail. We are very happy and will come back again."
"We booked an inspection before paying the balance on our order. We got a detailed report with photos the same evening. It gave us real confidence to continue working with this factory."
"I run an Amazon business and used this inspection before shipping my order. The communication was clear, the report was detailed, and they helped me catch small issues that could have turned into big problems later."
"An excellent specialist. We needed an equipment inspection: it was done at the highest level and every defect was shown. We will definitely come back."
