Andy Hares

Vineyard Manager at Newhall Vineyard

Chelmsford, England, United Kingdom

The largest cost in establishing a vineyard (after land purchase) is the trellis work, prices have increased by over a third in the last 5 years and are continuing to rise, so we need to find an alternative, reliable supply of materials. We purchased Trellising posts, (intermediate and end) support wires and ground anchors. As it was an entirely speculative enquiry I didn’t have any particular expectations. I was concerned it might not result in us purchasing so could potential be a waste of time, in addition we may end up paying additional ‘fees’ before landing or could receive an inferior product and have little course for redress. The process was made incredibly easy, ignoring the time frame which is understandably longer it was no different from purchasing from our normal European suppliers. Very happy with the product and service offered by Stuart at Chinese Sourcing Agents, have recommend it to various other companies in my industry. Will be purchasing again shortly and am actively looking at other areas of our own business which could benefit from sourcing from China.

Oliver Whitfield

Vineyard Manager at Denbies Wine Estate

Chalmington, England, United Kingdom

We are very happy with the trellising that we received. Every part of it was high quality. We have now installed the trellising and can happily say that there were no issues with the posts going in the ground apart from when we hit large flint and didn’t have the post protector attached. The ground anchors are large and more than capable of straining the end posts. We would happily purchase posts again from Stuart at Chinese Sourcing Agents.

I got in touch with Stuart at Chinese Sourcing Agents through a recommendation, and I’m glad I did. From the start, he’s been great at understanding exactly what I needed and importing the correct products every time. I had some reservations initially, as sourcing from overseas can be a bit daunting, but Stuart made the whole process smooth and reliable. His communication is always spot-on, and he really knows his stuff. I’ve continued working with him because I trust his judgment and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend his services if you’re looking for a solid sourcing partner.

Testimonial

Our original supplier disappeared during Covid and we could not find a suitable replacement through our existing contacts.

We sourced a synthetic wicker/rattan material to wrap our product handles with.

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting us to be able to source the right material as it was a real problem piece for us.

I was concerned we wouldn’t find the right material or that we would find something that looked right but didn’t do the job.

I was pleasantly surprised with Stuart’s direct involvement and assistance throughout.

Stuart found the perfect material at a fantastic price for us. Saving us money and providing a long term solution.

Testimonial

I initially contacted sourcing agency to source stain steel products for my company.

I sourced cocktail equipment which is what my company focus on.

I did not have any specific expectations going in but the communication and correspondence was very good so that but me on ease.

I was concerned with inflation for some the costs such as shipping. But quality of the products were very good.

Good point; good quality, good prices, good communication. Bad, to get the order did take a bit of time, some of the packaging were ruined.

Overall the outcome has been very good.

Testimonial

I initially looked at an out sourcing company as after hours of searching online I couldn’t find all the information I needed regarding buying and importing.

The products I sourced were rubber hexagon dumbbells, this was because at the time the only ones available were at extremely high prices.

I was very sceptical about importing goods and using an outsourcing company purely because after hours of searching online I couldn’t find all the information I thought I needed and after looking at other outsourcing companies their websites and information looked very amature, I did a little check on Staurt and the company and to my delight I couldn’t find anything that would suggest that anything was untoward because the main concern is obviously losing out on money as you hear horror stories of people importing goods but nothing arrives.

I was surprised how easy the whole operation was using Stuart, he helped guide my through the process and any information I didn’t know or any information I needed to supply he explain very thoroughly. The whole process was faultless, very fast at communicating and I cannot say there is anything I think Stuart could do better.

I received the products which were very high quality and a process that seemed ‘to good to be true’ purely because of how faultless Stuart was but I can say if I need the use of an out sourcing company again I will only be using Stuart.

ANDY MAHONEY MBE

Chairman 24×7 Ltd

Dunmow, England, United Kingdom

During Covid we needed to keep our 3,000 School Transport Staff safe, I searched many agents and spoke to Stuart owner of Chinese Sourcing Agents. Stuart gave me the reassurance that I needed to start trading with a Chinese Agent. Stuart immediately sourced face masks with the correct certificates ensuring a seamless transaction from the and factory to delivery. The costs of Masks were spiralling, we worked out a plan to airfreight a number and ship the bulk, this ensured we had masks at a realistic price at a time when our competitors could not source them. We have since purchased Screens for our vehicles, First Aid kits, Hi Viz vests, in car video recorders and mobile phones for our School transport business and Patio Heaters Gazebos for the events business.

Stuart has exceeded my expectations on quality assurance, inspecting the physical product and when needed visiting the factory. All payments have been made in sterling to a UK bank making the transaction easy.

Chinese Sourcing have proved to be a competent, professional company, I am happy recommend Chinese Sourcing.

Torquil McNeill

Contracts Manager at John Graham Construction Ltd

Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom

I had decided to start an online retail business and, having spent considerable time reviewing products on Alibaba, I had identified a product which wasn’t currently being sold anywhere in the UK. Being new to retail and starting up a new business, I wasn’t familiar with the processes involved in sourcing and shipping products from China and using the Amazon platform. I was looking for solid advice specifically for the shipping of products from China. My main concern was getting the approval from Amazon to sell the power bank that I had chosen. I did not want to sell the product on any other platform, and I did not want to take delivery or store the products at any time myself in the UK as I do not have a storage facility in the UK. Registering to become an Amazon Seller was far more difficult than I had envisaged, and the testing requirements for my product were far more onerous than I had foreseen. Having previously been an Amazon Seller in the UK, Stuart was able to support me through the process and was able to source the necessary testing certification for my product locally in China before it was shipped to the UK. This allowed me to still ship the products directly into Amazon’s warehouse, the result of which is a far more efficient process. Trip Technology Ltd

Kristina Williams

Co-Founder & Brand Owner of eco rascals

United Kingdom

I came into contact with Stuart from Chinese Sourcing Agents through the 3PL we were using in the UK.

As I was introduced by a mutual contact I felt at ease using CSA, especially knowing Stuart was from the UK himself and there was no language barrier.

Brief accounting of your dealings with us

Stuart worked tirelessly for eco rascals, sourcing various manufacturers for our children’s products. We have worked with 3 different factories with him over the years.

When sourcing in China, I would always use CSA, due to their reliability and trustworthiness, over the years we’ve built up a great working relationship.

SP Russell

Project Procurement Manager at The Other House

London, England, United Kingdom

Have used Chinese Sourcing Agents over several new builds or refurb projects that I have worked on.

The initial brief on items with them from OS&E to FF&E to them going out and sourcing has been quick and detailed at every stage.

They vet their suppliers to ensure they comply with all rules and regulations worldwide.

They are very reliable from Initial Brief, A Setups, Authorising, Production and Delivery with final product being exceptional.

Highly recommend them for any projects that UK/EU Suppliers cannot fulfil.

They take the worry, stress, and uncertainty away that you get going down the Asian market route.

Jacob Cruden

Chief Operating & Commercial Officer at Wholesale Horticultural Group

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

I initially reached out to Stuart in search of a reliable agent on the ground in China who could help us source and consolidate a diverse range of products to complete our offering.

Since then, Stuart and his team have been consistently proactive, providing multiple supplier options for every item we’ve requested. If something doesn’t meet our needs, they go straight back to the drawing board without hesitation. Despite all our products requiring custom branding, the process has been seamless. Shipping is just as smooth, with everything consolidated at a central location for streamlined loading.

What I appreciate most about working with Stuart and his team is their willingness to handle even the smallest requests—something many other agents tend to avoid. These small, specific needs are often crucial to our success, and their support in this area has been invaluable.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting the Chinese Sourcing Agents team during visits to Shenzhen. They’re a passionate, customer-focused group that genuinely strives to deliver great outcomes.
