Your Sourcing & Comparison Problems, Solved
Are you in HK/Macau/Taiwan, struggling to get product prices from Mainland China?
- Unable to Inquire: Want to get wholesale prices from 1688, Taobao, or Pinduoduo, but have no Mainland account to log in or chat with vendors?
- Not On-site: Want to compare prices at Huaqiangbei or a factory in Dongguan, but you’re not in Shenzhen and travel costs are too high?
- Fear Overpricing: Worried that inquiring as a HK/Macau/Taiwan buyer will get you a “tourist price” instead of the real-deal price?
- Bad at Haggling: Unfamiliar with the Mainland procurement scene and don’t know how to negotiate prices (“kill price”) with suppliers?
Zerrand’s “Proxy Inquiry & Price Comparison” service is your most loyal purchasing “intelligence agent” in the Mainland. We help you bridge the information gap and get real, transparent pricing.
1. Online E-commerce Platform Inquiry
No Mainland account? Not a skilled negotiator? We handle it for you.
Inquiry Without an Account
Simply provide the product link (1688, Taobao, Pinduoduo, etc.), and we’ll use our local accounts to contact the vendor for you. We’ll ask all your key questions (MOQ, wholesale price, materials, lead time, etc.).
Proxy Price Negotiation (“Haggling”)
We will pose as a “local procurement agent” to negotiate prices, striving to get a “wholesale base price” that is lower than the retail price.
Multi-Platform Price Comparison
You can provide links for the same item across different platforms (e.g., 1688 vs. Taobao), and we will consolidate the quotes into one comparison list.
2. Offline On-site Inquiry / Price Comparison
You don’t need to be here. We are your “legs.” Our runners will physically go to any location you designate.
Shenzhen Wholesale Markets (e.g., Huaqiangbei)
- On-site Viewing & Inquiry: We go to Huaqiangbei or other markets, find your product, and start a live video call for you to inspect it. We get the price from the vendor on the spot.
- Multi-Vendor Comparison: Within the same market, we can run to vendors A, B, and C to compare their quotes for the same item.
Factory / Showroom On-site Inquiry
- Factory Quotes: We travel to your designated factory (e.g., in Dongguan, Huizhou – may require “Inter-City” service) to get first-hand ex-factory prices.
- Showroom Inquiry: We visit brand showrooms or stores to get official price lists and product catalogs.
3. The Supplier Comparison Report
(Our Core Deliverable)
Whether your inquiry is online or offline, we provide a clear “Supplier Comparison Report.”
- Service: You specify one product, and we find 3-5 suppliers (online, offline, or mixed).
- Report Includes: A clear breakdown for each supplier:
- Product Price (Sample / Wholesale)
- Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)
- Production Lead Time
- Payment Terms
- (Includes on-site photos/videos for offline inquiries)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: After you inquire, can I place the order directly through you?
A: Our core service is “inquiry.” If you decide to purchase, we can offer additional add-on services such as “proxy-purchasing,” “proxy-payment,” “proxy-receiving,” or “proxy-inspection.” Please discuss with our customer service.
Q: How do you guarantee the price is real and you’re not adding a markup?
A: We promise 100% transparency. All online inquiries can be backed by original chat screenshots; all offline inquiries can be backed by live audio recording or video call-in, ensuring what you see is what we got.
