A sourcing agent like DocShipper acts directly on behalf of the buyer, verifying suppliers, conducting audits, negotiating prices, and managing the entire process. The main difference is that a sourcing agent represents your interests, while Alibaba is simply a marketplace.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How much does a sourcing agent cost ?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The cost of a sourcing agent varies depending on the pricing model. Some agents charge flat fees per project, while others take commissions on the orders they manage. Hidden commissions from suppliers can also occur with less transparent agents. DocShipper, by contrast, provides clear and tailored quotations, ensuring full transparency so clients know exactly what they are paying for.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can I hire several sourcing agents at once ?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It is possible to work with multiple sourcing agents, but in most cases this approach creates communication issues and confusion when dealing with suppliers. Centralizing sourcing operations with one trusted partner is usually more efficient. Many companies prefer DocShipper because it combines sourcing with logistics and customs, removing the need to coordinate between different service providers.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Which products can DocShipper source ?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"DocShipper can manage sourcing for a very wide range of products, from electronics and fashion items to furniture, cosmetics, industrial goods, and consumer accessories.

The company has a strong presence in China, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Turkey, and India, while also managing supply chain operations across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This global reach allows businesses to diversify their supply chain and reduce dependency on a single market.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do sourcing agents also handle shipping and customs clearance ?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Many sourcing agents only help with supplier identification and leave clients to manage the rest. This often results in delays, hidden costs, and compliance issues. DocShipper stands out because it not only sources products but also organizes international shipping, manages customs clearance, and ensures compliance with local regulations. This end-to-end approach gives clients a single point of contact throughout the process.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What are the risks of working without a sourcing agent ?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Importers who work directly with suppliers without the support of a sourcing agent face significant risks, such as dealing with fraudulent factories, receiving substandard products, or experiencing miscommunication due to language and cultural barriers.
