Hello from China!
Welcome to my channel, For the last 19 years I've been working with clients from all over the world large and small. I like to say, "I take the things that are hard for you to do in your home country and make it easy for you and save you money". I started out as a professional interpreter/translator but times have changed and so have I. Here in China, everyone is an "Interpreter" a "Translator" or a "Sourcing Agent" but those titles really don't help to qualify if that person is right for you.
After 19 years you learn that each and every customer is different. I might receive a call from a customer in the USA that will send me a picture of an item and wants me to find a factory and get the item shipped to FBA. Other customers might just need translation services or help with contacting suppliers due to the language barrier. I'll work with you as your needs change so that I am providing the maximum impact in the areas that are more difficult to do from your home country.
So if you are looking for someone that is honest, reliable and just plain easy to work with, I'm your guy. I can assist with any aspect of the supply chain management from China to your country including logistics, sourcing, factory visits, quality control, inspection or just someone to translate for you at the Canton Fair. Let me help you make the journey into sourcing products from China easy and more profitable.
Services:
1. Sourcing Products: Wholesale markets or OEM with Factories.
2. Quality Control: Your person on the ground in China!
3. Translation/Interpretation: I'll help you get your message across.
4. Transportation/Guide: Come to China and we will visit factories together. I'm one of the few that will actually drive you to where we need to go. It just makes sense.
5. Shipping/Logistics: Air, Sea or Ground. Let me handle this for you.
6. Visiting China: Canton Fair, Global Sources, Factory Visits, etc - Let me put you at ease, call me and I can arrange.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Frankie Gu

numerous calls on my behalf. Nothing was too difficult for Frankie. He is very professional! I do not hesitate to highly recommend Frankie. Treat him as if you would want to be treated and he will move mountains for you. He
