Managed production · Final step
Shipping from China, as the final step of your managed production
Owl Sourcing is not a freight forwarder. We manage your production in China from sample to shipment, and shipping is the last step of that work. Your goods leave only after they pass the pre-shipment inspection. We coordinate shipment with the freight forwarder and keep you updated at every step, so you always know where your order stands.
Volume production, typically from 500 pieces per design.

Many shipping problems begin at the factory, long before the goods reach a port. Because we manage your order from the first sample, your packing requirements are part of the production brief we agree with the factory, not something sorted out at the last minute.
Goods ship after the pre-shipment inspection
Our team checks the finished order against the inspection standard agreed with you, and we write your compliance requirements into that standard. Goods that do not meet it are not released for shipment, so problems are dealt with in China rather than discovered at your warehouse.
Coordinated with your freight forwarder
The freight itself is handled by a freight forwarder. We coordinate shipment with the freight forwarder and keep you updated at every step, so you always know where your order stands.
