Read Case Study

Whether you're launching your first product or scaling your hundredth, Cosmo Sourcing is built for you.

We established operations in Vietnam in 2014, long before most sourcing companies had it on their radar, and opened our Mexico operation in 2023. More than a decade of building direct factory relationships on the ground means you benefit from that network on day one.

Sourcing From Vietnam Since 2014

More than a decade of factory relationships in Vietnam, now extending across Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Mexico. That head start means a deeper network, faster vetting, and better pricing for your product than companies still building their contacts.

You Own the Relationship

We introduce you directly to the factory. You see every quote unaltered, you get full contact details, and you decide whether to work with them independently or keep us involved through production. No lock-in, no gatekeeping.

US-Headquartered. Globally Operated.

Cosmo Sourcing is an American company with US-based management and contracts under US law, so accountability sits with a company you can reach at home. The sourcing itself is handled in person by our own teams in Vietnam and Mexico.

Your Advocate, Not the Factory's

Our loyalty is to you, not the manufacturer. We push for better pricing, flag quality concerns early, and make recommendations based on what is best for your product and your margins.

What Makes Us Different

Not an agent. Not going it alone.

Most sourcing help falls into two buckets: commission-based agents who sit between you and the factory, or doing everything yourself on Alibaba. Cosmo is built differently, you pay one fixed fee and walk away owning the factory relationship outright.

What Our Clients Say

Real reviews from real sourcing projects.

★★★★★

“My husband and I were introduced to Cosmo by a colleague who uses them for their FBA business. Cosmo was great in helping us find baby toys. We were very concerned with quality, as baby toys are held to higher health and safety standards, but they handled the inspection and got us a product that is well reviewed and sells great!”

Brenda Eindhoven FBA Seller, Georgia via Google
★★★★★

“I would gladly recommend Cosmo Sourcing to anyone looking to import products from Vietnam. We used Cosmo for over ten products for our FBA business. They managed to get quality suppliers each time, and since we’re dealing directly with the factory, we can get the best price.”

David Lou FBA Seller, Texas via Google
★★★★★

“Cosmo saved an entire division of our company. After our only supplier in Brazil unexpectedly doubled their prices, we were scrambling to find a new manufacturer. We worked with the team at Cosmo to find new manufacturers in Southeast Asia. We went with two suppliers they found: one in Vietnam and one in China.”

Anonymous Director of Global Sourcing, Fortune 500 via Google
★★★★★

“Finding the right manufacturer for toys in Vietnam seemed like a challenge, but Cosmo Sourcing made it easy. They found reliable suppliers, handled all the details, and even set up factory visits with a bilingual guide. The process was smooth, transparent, and stress-free. If you need a trusted sourcing partner, I highly recommend them.”

Daniel Toy Brand Owner via Facebook
★★★★★

“Cosmo not only found us an awesome supplier, but they handled shipping, inspections, and everything else for us! The entire process was smooth from start to finish. I would recommend them to anyone looking to source products from Vietnam.”

Frequently Asked

Straight answers before you book.

You pay one fixed fee for the project, agreed before we start. We do not take a commission on your orders and we do not add a markup to factory pricing. What the factory quotes is what you pay them, directly.
A traditional agent sits between you and the factory and earns a commission on everything you buy, which gives them a reason to keep that relationship gated. We are a sourcing company: we find and vet factories, introduce you directly, and hand you the relationship to own. No commission, no middleman on your future orders.
Yes. We introduce you directly to the factories you choose and give you full contact details. You can work with them independently from there, or keep us involved through production if you prefer. There is no lock-in.
We have teams on the ground in Vietnam since 2014 and Mexico since 2023, and we have sourced from China since 2012. We also source across Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. If you are looking to move production out of China, that is one of the most common projects we run.
Not at all. Single-product and first-time sourcing projects are a core part of what we do. If you are sourcing many products or buying on an ongoing basis, our dedicated sourcing office may fit better, and we will tell you honestly which makes sense for you.
Timelines depend on your product and how many factories we need to vet, so we will give you a realistic estimate on our first call rather than a number that sounds good but does not hold. The goal is the right factory, verified properly, not the fastest possible handoff.
We have our own teams on the ground in Vietnam and Mexico, with direct factory relationships built over more than a decade. For projects that call for it, in-person factory visits, inspections, and audits are available as an add-on, handled by our local team or trusted specialist partners across the region.
Yes. We offer guided factory tours where we line up vetted factories in advance and a bilingual member of our team walks the floor with you, across multiple cities if needed, so you can see production before you commit.
