01
Consultation and research
It all starts with a chat. We’ll sit down and talk about your unique needs so we can put together a plan that’s right for your business.
02
Supplier prospecting
With a plan in place, we can start the search for a supplier that’s right for you. Not all Chinese suppliers are created equal, and at Epic, we only work with the best.
03
Supplier verification
All of the suppliers and manufacturers we work with go through a thorough, fully independent verification process.
04
Quotes & Landing costs
Once we have created a short-list of verified suppliers, it’s time to get quotes. We’ll provide you with the most competitive product and landing cost quotes.
05
Sampling
management
We’ll order samples and have them sent to you for assessment. Once you’re happy with a sample, it’s time to negotiate the contract.
06
Contract negotiation
Negotiating contracts is one of our specialties. We’ll negotiate on your behalf to make sure you’re getting the best deal. We’ll make sure everything is above board before you sign on the dotted line.
07
Manufacturing monitoring
We are your eyes and ears on the ground in China. We’ll make sure the manufacturing process is running on time and according to plan.

Quality
control
There is nothing worse than receiving your first order only to find that there are product defects. That’s why our team on the ground in China will make sure everything is ship shape, before it ships.

Shipping & Logistics
Shipping can be a real challenge in the post-Covid world. We’ll find you the best rates on shipping and handle all aspects of getting your products from A to B.

Post-purchase management
Once your products arrive, we don't just bid you farewell! We'll make sure your products have arrived in tip-top shape, and contact the supplier on your behalf if there are any issues.
