Executive takeaways
01
Recommended shortlist #1: Shenzhen A Factory Co. (composite 112.0; trust 82/100). Shortlist for sample + trial order.
02
Runner-up: Guangzhou B Trading (composite 51.7). Keep as backup if #1 fails sample or MOQ negotiation.
03
Trading / individual risk: Guangzhou B Trading, Yiwu C Shop. Ask who manufactures and request factory entrance + production videos.
04
Trust score spread in this set: 48–82 (gap 34 points). Meaningful quality/trust difference — do not pick on price alone.
05
Higher listing-fidelity risk: Guangzhou B Trading, Yiwu C Shop. Paid sample + dated live photos before any deposit.
06
Listed price range: ¥88 – ¥109 (24% spread from cheapest). Confirm whether cheaper offers cut specs, packaging, or after-sales.
07
Mix of factory-type (Shenzhen A Factory Co.) and non-factory (Guangzhou B Trading, Yiwu C Shop). Factories usually win on unit cost; traders may win on English/export service.
08
Some suppliers lack visible factory-inspection signals. For first bulk order, prefer inspected sellers or budget third-party inspection (SGS/TÜV).
09
Higher-caution names: Yiwu C Shop. Request business license photos, entrance/production videos, and run a paid sample before any deposit.
10
Suggested next steps for top 1–2: (1) WangWang RFQ for MOQ/FOB/lead time, (2) ask for certs + company registration name, (3) place sample, (4) only then trial order at ~50% of intended MOQ.
11
Data source: publicly visible 1688 page fields only. Not a legal due-diligence or factory audit.
12
Before you sample: lock exact SKU, request dated live photos, and keep the approved sample as the bulk reference.

Before you sample
Scores help you shortlist. Samples cut listing-fidelity risk. Use this checklist before any deposit.
- Order a paid sample of the exact SKU / color / material you intend to buy.
- Ask for dated live photos or a short video of the same SKU on the production line.
- Confirm written specs (dimensions, material grade, packaging) match the listing — screenshot both.
- Keep the approved sample as the bulk-order reference; reject lots that diverge.
- For first bulk, start at ~30–50% of intended MOQ after sample approval.
