On request

Plush and wooden toys are available for committed orders — we source them from partner regions. Plastic remains our home advantage, so we keep these as a service, not a stock line.

02 / Pricing, on the record

Zero markup.
Here's the math.

Factory price + CN domestic freight = Your price
  • Trial orders start from  one carton — test us with zero risk.
  • You see the real factory quotation. Nothing hidden inside.
  • Freight = delivery from the factory to your forwarder's warehouse in China.
  • Sea/air freight, customs and your local costs stay under your control.

07 / Who we are

A team on the ground in Chenghai

We're a small team with years of toy export experience, based where the toys are actually made. We walk the showrooms weekly, know which factories keep their promises, and which "factories" are just a trade counter. And small is the point: buying has shifted to smaller orders and faster reorders — exactly how we work. No container-size commitments, no account managers; from one carton up, you talk directly to the people who walk the market. And if an order is ever too small for freight to make sense, we'll tell you before you pay — that math is part of the service.

Coming to China to buy? We host the whole trip — hotel booking, daily meals, and a car with a translator from morning to night. We take you to any factory you want to see, and to the best toy showrooms in Chenghai, where you can pick products face to face and we negotiate beside you.

Can't make the trip? We also work as a fully independent inspection team: goods you bought from anyone, anywhere in the area — we check them on site and report with photos and video before you pay the balance.

Planning OEM or ODM production? We have dedicated partner factories that take custom orders — but we'd rather you come see them with your own eyes first, then decide. A factory you have walked through is a supplier you can trust.
