Linkora Source

Who Linkora Source is, where it operates (Jinhua, Zhejiang, China), how money flows (buyer pays the factory directly), the buyer types it serves, what it explicitly does not do, and how to contact it. Start here to decide whether a buyer's need is in scope.

The four services — China sourcing (full order engagement), quality inspection, factory audit and supplier verification — each with what happens, what the buyer provides, what the buyer receives, cost and timing, and what is not included.

{

  "properties": {},
  "additionalProperties": false
}

Published prices in USD: per-job checks (supplier verification, inspection per man-day, basic factory audit), commission bands for a full order engagement, the monthly retainer, worked examples, exclusions, travel and payment conditions.

}

Arithmetic on the published rates: per-job checks and/or the commission for a given order value. Returns line items, the commission band, payment timing and exclusions. An estimate, not a quotation; travel beyond 100 km of Jinhua is flagged rather than priced.

The six buyer types served (Amazon sellers, retail brands, DTC brands, wholesale importers, OEM/ODM projects, promotional-product buyers), each with explicit 'fits when' and 'does not fit when' conditions and the page URL. Use it to match a buyer's situation without inference.

When a buyer wants a quotation, turn their requirement into a pre-filled brief link for the Linkora Source form, plus WhatsApp and email alternatives. Nothing is submitted: the buyer opens the link, adds their own name, company and email, and sends it. Never include personal details in the arguments.
