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, Mexico, and China.

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.”

Common Questions

Answers before you ask.

You pay one fixed fee for the sourcing project, agreed before we start. No commissions, no percentage of your order value, and no markup hidden inside factory quotes. The price we quote you is the price the factory quoted us, and the fee is the same whether you order one container or fifty.
Agents typically earn a commission on every order, which means their income grows when your costs grow, and many keep the factory identity hidden so you can never go direct. We are a sourcing company: we charge a fixed fee, show you every quote unaltered, hand over full factory contact details, and introduce you directly. After that, the relationship is yours. New to this model? Read our complete guide to working with a sourcing company.
Yes. You receive the factory's name, address, and direct contacts, and we introduce you to each other. You can work with them independently from day one, or keep us involved for sampling, inspections, and production support. Either way, nothing is gated behind us.
We only share what a factory needs in order to quote, and before detailed specs go out we can put an NNN agreement in place: non-disclosure, non-use, non-circumvention. We use bilingual versions written for the country you are sourcing from, including English-Vietnamese and English-Chinese, which hold up far better locally than a standard US NDA. Our NNN agreement guide covers the details.
We have teams on the ground in Vietnam since 2014 and Mexico since 2023, plus a smaller team in China, where we have sourced 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, and every project is planned tariff-aware. You can check current rates with our tariff calculator.
Almost certainly not. We work with first-time founders launching a single product, FBA sellers building a catalog, and Fortune 500 sourcing teams. The fixed fee means you know the cost up front, and if a project is not a good fit we will tell you on the first call rather than take your money. For high-volume ongoing needs, our dedicated sourcing office scales with you.
Our target for a standard project is 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to factory quotes and direct introductions. The exact timeline depends on your product and how many factories we need to vet, so we will give you a realistic estimate on our first call. If you are on a deadline, a Rush option is available.
We have our own teams on the ground in Vietnam and Mexico, plus a smaller team in China, 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 own people or trusted specialist partners across the region.
Yes, and we encourage it. Our guided factory tours put a bilingual member of our team beside you: we line up vetted factories in advance, handle the logistics, and translate on the floor so nothing gets lost. Clients have compressed months of evaluation into a single week this way.
