For Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) brands, direct factory sourcing with Peregrine Ship offers unparalleled control over product quality, cost-efficiency, and supply chain transparency. Here’s how the process works:

1. Submit Your Sourcing Request

  • Start with Details: Provide specific details about the product you need, including material, design, and any other requirements. This helps our on-ground team in China identify the best factories.

2. Cost and Supplier Selection

  • Receive an Estimate: Our team will provide you with a detailed cost estimate based on direct factory pricing. This often results in significant savings compared to traditional sourcing methods.

  • Supplier Selection: We select suppliers from our extensive network, prioritizing quality, reliability, and the ability to meet your specific needs.

3. Sample Approval

  • Product Samples: Before full production begins, we arrange for product samples to be sent to you. This step ensures that the final product meets your exact specifications.

  • Feedback Loop: Provide feedback on the samples. If any adjustments are needed, we work with the supplier to refine the product.

4. Production and Quality Control

  • Quality Assurance: Once you approve the samples, we proceed with full production. Our on-ground team in China conducts rigorous quality checks throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring consistency and adherence to your standards.

  • Transparency: You receive regular updates on production progress, keeping you informed at every stage.

5. Shipping and Fulfillment

  • Warehousing: After production, your products are shipped to our warehouse in China. Here, they are stored and managed until ready for distribution.

  • Fulfillment: Peregrine Ship handles all aspects of fulfillment, from order processing to final delivery. With our partnership with YunExpress, we offer competitive shipping rates and fast delivery times, ensuring that your customers receive their orders promptly.
