About DocShipper Sourcing

DocShipper Sourcing is a procurement agent dedicated to helping companies and individuals with their sourcing needs in China and Asia.

More than a Sourcing agent...we're a Supply Chain Partner

DocShipper was initially known as an "international freight forwarder". Throughout the activities and experience, the group has distinguished itself from traditional companies by offering real tailor-made solution including transport, but also auxiliary services such as supplier sourcing, setting up compliance, customs clearance, packaging, storage, and above all proactive support from our experts throughout the supply chain!

And when you think about it, as a freight forwarder, we also had access during all these years to a massive supplier database! The following question was quickly answered: why not let our customers benefit from this expertise? DocShipper thus integrated the sourcing services into its core business.

DocShipper is providing a turnkey solution delivering an international procurement and logistic process for key accounts and SMEs worldwide that is personalized and trusty for every transactions and in which all parties are beneficiaries.

FAQ about our solutions

How much does a sourcing agent cost?

The cost of a sourcing agent can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of products being sourced and the amount of work involved. In general, sourcing agents may charge a flat fee or a percentage of the total cost of the products being sourced. With DocShipper, there are no hidden fees. We manage the entire supplier relationship as well as the associated services in exchange for a transparent commission based on the purchase price of the order.

What do sourcing agents do?

Sourcing agents are professionals who help businesses find and purchase products from overseas suppliers. They typically work with businesses that want to purchase products from a specific country or region, such as China or Vietnam. Sourcing agents are experts in the local market and can help businesses find the best suppliers, negotiate prices, and ensure that orders are fulfilled on time.

Is sourcing in China difficult?

Sourcing products in China can be a challenging process, particularly for businesses that are not familiar with the local market. There are many factors that can make sourcing in China difficult, including language barriers, cultural differences, and the sheer size and complexity of the market. The process of finding reliable suppliers and negotiating prices can be time-consuming and difficult for businesses that are not familiar with the local market. However, with the help of a sourcing agent who is experienced in working with Chinese suppliers, businesses can overcome these challenges and successfully source products from China.

What are the advantages of DocShipper?

DocShipper combines multiple advantages for your business. Besides the communication that we make as easy as possible, we are - the one and only - company able to manage the entire product cycle. From supply to distribution, our teams assist you to optimize your business: lower costs, more responsiveness and therefore more profit. Your satisfaction is our success, hence our slogan: "Time is money, we save you both! ".

Do you have a brochure of your services?

Haven't downloaded our brochure yet? You can find it on the following link: Brochure DocShipper sourcing. There you will find a description of all of our services as well as our method of operation and prices. Of course, if you still have questions, do not hesitate to contact our customer service directly, we will be happy to assist you with your project, whatever it is.

How to contact DocShipper?

At DocShipper, we put the customer at the heart of our attention, and therefore communication is a central point of our strategy. It's not complicated, we've made our relationship with you as easy as possible! You have multiple options for contacting us: WhatsApp, Email, Live Chat, Phone, Messenger ... You have finally found a partner with whom to interact in a professional and cordial manner.

What is a compliance service?

Compliance is a key service of our sourcing department. Indeed, if your products are not in line with the regulation of the destination market, customs officials will not allow the products to enter the market. It is therefore a step that allows you to certify the conformity of your products via certificate(s) and/or license(s), a highly recommended step, especially if this is your first transaction with a supplier.

What is a quality control service?

The quality control service allows, as its name suggests, to verify that the production is in line with your expectations. It is an inspection that is coordinated on 2 very specific factors: width and depth. The width means, how many units you want to control. For example on a production of 10,000 units, you only want to check 1,000 pieces in order to save money. Finally, the depth will be the precision of the control: is it only a visual control or do we also have to check the functionality of the products?

Is it possible to combine several services?

Yes of course, it is also highly recommended in some cases. The higher the value of your products is, the more we advise you to control your goods, the same goes for compliance. Note that our logistics department will take over the rest of the operations in order to ship the goods to the desired destination, for example our distribution center in Italy so that you can focus only on your core business: the search for customer.

International freight | Sea - Air - Rail - Road | Customs clearance

Enjoy tailor-made support

You have several options when shipping goods internationally. Your priority is the price? Then you will opt for a sea freight solution. Urgent delivery? Opt for air freight. Are you looking for a happy medium? Rail freight is for you. A small parcel to send? Choose an express solution.

If the logistical process does not seem like a very complex task at first, you will quickly understand (perhaps at your expense) that the slightest mistake can turn your operations into a disaster (and therefore into a financial hole!). Did you forget a document? Are your supplier's certificates not up to date? The customs officials will unfortunately not give a gift.

But all is not lost, go for DocShipper! Unlike traditional freight forwarders, we offer tailor-made support from the start to the end of operations. One of our consultants will follow you through the entire process and will be your representative to the various stakeholders (supplier, shipping line, customs, etc.). One way for us to guarantee the quality of services and the fluidity of operations.
