At Cosmo Sourcing, each project focuses on a single product category: a group of items that can be made by the same type of factory. If your products require different factories, we treat them as separate projects.

Our process is designed to be transparent, efficient, and client-friendly

Here’s how the process works:

1. Initial Contact & Discovery Call: We begin with a free consultation to understand your product needs, target pricing, and ideal supplier profile.

2. Onboarding & Payment: Once you're ready, you submit product details and make the initial payment to kick off sourcing.

3. Supplier Matching & Vetting: We match you with vetted manufacturers from our extensive network, then present quotes, lead times, MOQs, and background info.

4. Validation & Sampling: We help you review samples, confirm factory capabilities, and refine specs as needed.

5. Factory Introduction: You get full contact details and direct access to your selected factory. We can also assist in contract negotiation, quality checks, and production follow-up.

No. We charge a flat service fee and do not take a cut of your orders. You get original quotes directly from factories, including full contact information. This transparency ensures you can work directly with the manufacturer after our introduction.

You'll submit your product details via our intake form or email. We’ll schedule a call to align expectations and walk you through the process. Once we receive your product information and initial payment, sourcing begins.

Yes. We offer a range of post-sourcing services including sample management, production monitoring, logistics coordination, and quality control inspections—available as add-ons depending on your needs.

We primarily source from Vietnam, Mexico, China, Thailand, and Indonesia, but depending on your product needs, we can also source from across Southeast and East Asia.

Each location has its strengths. For example, Vietnam excels in textiles, furniture, and footwear; Mexico is ideal for ceramics, glassware, and heavier goods due to its proximity to the U.S.; China remains strong in electronics and high-volume manufacturing; while Thailand and Indonesia offer competitive options in packaging, wood products, and home goods.

Let us know your product category, and we can recommend the most strategic sourcing location for your needs.

Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) depend heavily on the product category, materials, and level of customization. Apparel may start at 300 units per style, while electronics or metal products may require 1,000 units or more. We can often find suppliers open to smaller test orders.

Yes. If you don't have a tech pack, send a sample or as much detail as possible. We often work with factories that can reverse-engineer or help refine your product specifications.

Absolutely. We’ve sourced everything from handmade ceramics and eco-friendly textiles to precision-machined metal parts. We also help find suppliers with certifications such as GOTS, ISO, and FSC, among others.

We vet factories based on track record, client feedback, certifications, and third-party audits. We can also coordinate on-site inspections, laboratory tests, and pre-shipment checks with third-party quality control partners.
