Transparent Pricing — No Hidden Charges

Sourcing from China should be predictable. At Z-Pick, our service fee is confirmed before any project starts — what you see is what you pay. We serve small-B importers, wholesalers, and chain-store buyers across Russia, Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. No markup on factory prices. No kickbacks. No surprises.

Sourcing Agent Service Fee

Our service fee ranges from a transparent commission, discussed per project of FOB order value, with a $100 minimum for orders under $1,000.

The exact rate depends on three factors:

  • Order value — larger orders qualify for lower rates
  • SKU count — more SKUs mean more coordination per dollar
  • Number of suppliers — consolidating across multiple factories adds workload

We quote your exact rate after reviewing your RFQ — you always know the full cost before you commit. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no commissions added to factory prices.

What’s Included

  • Supplier screening and price negotiation across verified factories
  • Order follow-up and production supervision
  • Pre-shipment inspection with photo report
  • Export documentation (commercial invoice, packing list, customs declaration)
  • Consolidation warehousing — 30 days free storage
  • Repacking and packaging reinforcement
  • Dedicated WhatsApp group + shared online tracking sheet

What’s NOT Included (Pass-Through, Zero Markup)

  • Product payment (factory invoice shown directly; no markup)
  • Domestic China freight (factory to warehouse, as quoted by carrier)
  • International shipping (FOB: buyer’s forwarder; CIF: at actual carrier rate)
  • Import duties and destination clearance fees
  • Third-party certification fees (EAC, GCC, Halal, lab tests)
  • Sample product cost and international sample courier

Total Landed Cost

We don’t use interactive calculators — order costs vary too much, and a generated number can mislead. Here’s the real formula:

Total Landed Cost = Product Cost (FOB) + Z-Pick Service Fee + Domestic China Freight + International Shipping + Import Duty & Local Clearance

Submit an RFQ with your product details, target quantity, and destination. We’ll send a full cost breakdown within 24 working hours — every line item confirmed before you commit.

Pricing FAQ

Q: Is the service fee really the only cost you control?
A: Yes. All other costs — product, freight, duties, certification — are pass-through at actual amounts with zero markup.

Q: Why is there a $100 minimum for orders under $1,000?
A: Even a small order requires supplier coordination, quality checks, and documentation. The minimum ensures we can fully serve every order without cutting corners.

Q: How do I know which rate I’ll get?
A: Submit an RFQ with your product details, target quantity, and destination. We review every request personally and send you an exact rate within 24 working hours — no obligation, no sales pressure.

Q: Do you offer DDP?
A: We work under EXW, FOB, and CIF terms. DDP is not offered — we do not advance duty payments or take on destination clearance risk. This keeps our quotes transparent and our incentives aligned with yours.
