Lane facts
| How the fee works | A fixed service fee, not a commission calculated on the purchase value. |
| Why it is tied to the shipment | Buying agency is offered with the freight rather than as a separate business, so one party is accountable from the order to the delivery. |
| Who is responsible for quality | The supplier is responsible for the product. We check what was agreed and report it; a professional standard requires a third-party inspection. |
What does this cover?
We find and screen Chinese suppliers against your requirement, compare their quotations, place the order on your behalf and follow the production schedule through to delivery at our warehouse. The service is only offered together with the shipment itself, and it is charged as a fixed service fee rather than a commission on what you spend.
Who is this for?
- Buyers without a team in China who need suppliers found and screened
- Buyers who want one party to place the order and then move the goods
- Multi-supplier purchases that have to be consolidated before export
- Buyers who want the goods checked and reported before the shipment leaves
What is included in the service?
- Searching for suppliers against your specification
- Screening suppliers and comparing their quotations or samples

- Following the production and delivery schedule

What do you need from us to quote?
- Product description, specification and target quantity

- Whether the goods carry batteries, liquid, powder, a brand or another restriction
- What you want checked before dispatch, and to what standard
What does the shipment record show?
Photographs and loading footage from our own warehouse and shipments — the same operation your cargo moves through.
What must be confirmed before booking?
- Offered only where the shipment is handled by Honour Ocean; buying agency is not sold as a standalone service
- We are a purchasing coordinator and logistics operator, not the manufacturer, and we do not give an unlimited quality guarantee on the product itself
- Where a professional standard is required, a third-party inspection agency is arranged and charged separately
- The payment route is: you pay us, and we pay the supplier once your funds have arrived
