Nowadays, it has many ways to find China-sourcing agent online. I put 6 recommended ways.
Online Sourcing Platform ---- Alibaba and Global Sources
These two websites are the top sourcing ones to find suppliers. Also, you can find china sourcing agents from them. On the websites, you can search “ Trading companies” in the search results. And using different keywords to search on different platforms. For example, you can click “general trade agents” as a category on Alibaba. On Global Sources, click on “Trading Company” as a business type.
Trade Shows
Canton Fair is a traditional show to meet sourcing agents face to face. This way you can see their products directly. And it is a good way to get a “feel” of potentially working with them. But now it is hard for all over the world people come to China to attend the trade show. It needs to wait for new
Referrals
This is a good way to find sourcing agents. Similar to finding a good dentist, mechanic, or accountant, word of mouth is very powerful.
If somebody has any experience with a sourcing agent, they can share the resource with you then you can definitely set up a call or email to ask questions weather can help or not.
Online Job Sites
Another way to find potential sourcing agents is Upwork.com and other online job sites. You can create the job ad., screen candidates, and spend time deciding who is the right agent for you. But it may be hit or miss depending on what you are searching for.
Youtube
The second largest search engine is Youtube after Google. Many sourcing agents and companies created videos of their services or introduction on Youtube.
Facebook Groups
Now there are many Facebook groups for Amazon and e-commerce sellers. So many sourcing agents participate in those groups and they may or may not be good candidates. Because good sourcing agents are too busy helping their customers to have time to post in Facebook groups of agent services.
