ODM AND OEM KITCHENWARE MANUFACTURING
Over the years, we have created a large network of manufacturers and suppliers of various materials, with whom we maintain close and inseparable cooperation.
Why should you choose ODM or contract kitchenware manufacturing with us?
Based in Yangjiang, often referred to as the "Knife Capital", the world's leading stainless steel kitchen utensils city, we have direct access to many factories of various products, raw materials, maintaining close and friendly relations with their bosses, managers, leaders.
This means that we do NOT depend on luck or phantom trust to produce our product. This means that we depend solely on our work. Having a constant presence nearby allows us to have complete control over our orders, without making mistakes or even fraud (both of which happen more often than they should).
What do you get by letting us make kitchenware from scratch?
***To select this service, an advance payment of 5-10% of the estimated order amount and 30% TT after the offer is accepted is required. The reason for this is that a huge amount of upfront work is required before a final proposal is released.
SOURCING OF PRODUCTS AND/OR MANUFACTURERS
Searching for almost any product with Welekart looks like this:
1. You have a specific product with all technical specifications and are looking for a reliable manufacturer.
2. You have a product or a list of products, but you are not sure about the exact characteristics, you want to study the market.
In case number 1, you are looking for a third party who will find a reliable manufacturer, get samples, maybe visit the factory, do an audit, inspect the goods, negotiate for you, help with translation, customs clearance, shipping, etc. Once we have received your LOI (letter of intent), we will start looking for the best manufacturer for your product. The selection takes place according to one manufacturer, so if the first does not fit in price, quality or anything else, we move on to the second. We can offer up to five manufacturers for each client. Assuming that the initial contract is signed, we proceed with our services mentioned above (quality control, logistics (if necessary), etc.). Please ask for any assistance you may need with your order. We are here to ensure safe trading comes first.
In case number 2, we will send you a list of up to 5 manufacturers recommended by Welekart. With full details starting from name, address, phone numbers, email addresses, social media accounts, website. From now on, you negotiate everything with the manufacturers yourself. We will still be available for selected services such as inspections, factory audits, logistics services, etc. Please note that we cannot do this anytime, anywhere. China is large and has a strict COVID-19 policy, which often includes quarantining certain areas.
The cost of this service is $20-100 per factory.
QUALITY CONTROL
Why do you need product inspections in China?
Inspections are carried out at different stages of the value chain:
1. At the initial stage of production, until 10% of the order is ready.
2. During production, until 50% complete.
3. When 100% of the goods are ready and the packaging is up to 90% ready.
Most often, customers choose the inspection at the third stage. We advise, to save your time and money, to carry out all stages of inspections.
It is our company policy to strictly follow this order, as we believe that this minimum number of checks guarantees that the order is 95% positive. You, of course, do not need to do the same. Many customers prefer to do a short check right before shipping, but that only means one thing - they weren't in control of their order from the start. Our role in these specific situations is simply to inform our customers of the number of defective items. No one takes responsibility for any problems other than the buyer himself. Of course, many people still find this useful, but in our experience, customers who start with inspections as early as the first stage gradually improve their orders in both quality and quantity.
What do you get when ordering quality control from us?
First of all, you get people who are 100% responsive and professional and ready to answer all your questions. You get highly qualified, experienced Yangjiang city kitchenware specialists, fluent in Chinese and Russian, with a local mentality that is essential if we want our order to be taken care of properly.
You receive a written report and conclusion from a specialist, constant communication during the inspection, photo and video materials. We will not only follow your instructions, but also control the moments that are noticeable only when you are in production.
Freelance inspectors are mostly hired by intermediary companies that claim to have professionals in every city in China. People from nearby cities come to check the goods in Yangjiang. We are here. We only deal in local products.
FACTORY AUDIT
A factory audit is an integral part of buying goods from China. It is very important to work with a real and high-quality manufacturer. There are a huge number of parties, trading companies, various agents that pretend to be manufacturing companies. This can be a really big problem, as has been proven over and over again by extremely questionable quality, unsafe storage of goods, unrealistically high prices for goods, communication problems, etc. etc.
What will you get? The actual address of production, production capacity and number of employees, translation of a business license, information about the founders, a list and translation of available permits and certificates, product quality analysis, a detailed report with photo and video materials.
The cost of a factory audit is from $150.
DROP SHIPPING
Dropshipping is a retail sale of smaller ammount of goods that are not at our immediate disposal.
Why would you need it?
There are many products available in China that are not available in rest of the world. There is a retail giga platform Aliexpress, that offers basically the same service as we do for dropshipping. But with some differences explained in following lines.
