In the markets, with you or for you.
Some things cannot be bought from a listing. You need someone walking the markets, comparing what is on the shelf and negotiating on the spot. Alongside you, or instead of you.
Come with us, or send us instead.
You are travelling to China
You are coming, but you do not want to lose a week. Wrong markets, tourist prices, a language barrier.
- Market and district guidance
- Interpretation and negotiation on the spot
- Someone who knows which building sells what
- Help consolidating and shipping what you buy
You cannot travel
You need the goods but cannot leave Nigeria. We walk the markets on your behalf, send you what we are looking at, and buy on your instruction.
- Live photos and video from the market
- Real prices, compared across sellers
- Negotiation on your behalf
- Purchase, collection and consolidation
Physical presence, where a listing is not enough.
Wholesale markets move on relationships, cash and being there — the categories where online listings mislead more than they help.
- Identify the right markets and buildings for your category
- Walk the market and compare what is physically available
- Send live photos and video of what we are looking at
- Interpret and negotiate in Mandarin
- Confirm real prices at real quantities
- Purchase on your instruction
- Collect and consolidate what you buy
- Prepare goods for your shipping arrangement
How a market run works.
-
01
Tell us the category and the budget
What you are buying, roughly how much you want to spend, and whether you are travelling or sending us instead. Give us your dates if you are coming.
-
02
We go to the market
We work the right buildings for your category, send you what we find as we find it, and negotiate prices where you want to move.
-
03
We buy, collect and consolidate
On your instruction we purchase, collect from the sellers, consolidate everything in one place and get it ready to ship.
What this costs.
Priced on how many days you need, how many markets we have to cover and which city. Tell us your dates and category and we will give you a day rate and a realistic plan.
We charge our fee only. Everything we pay on your behalf — product cost, transport in China, samples, shipping, accommodation, testing — is billed at cost.

Before you ask.
Which markets do you cover?
Our base is the Guangzhou and Foshan area, which covers most categories Nigerian buyers come for. Tell us the category and we will tell you the right market and whether it is within our normal range.
Can you meet me at the airport?
Tell us your itinerary when you book and we will agree how and where we meet. The more notice you give, the better we can plan the days around your flight times.
Do you help with shipping what I buy?
We collect, consolidate and prepare the goods. Shipping itself is arranged separately and billed at cost. Tell us your preferred route and we will work with it.
I am thinking of coming to China. Should I book a consultation first?
Often, yes. A Business Consultation before you buy a flight can save a wasted trip. The fee is creditable against an eligible service afterwards.
Coming to China, or need us to go for you?
Tell us the category, your budget and your dates. We will come back with a plan and a day rate.
