About Damon
Founder, YuSourcing · Shenzhen, China
When you fill out the form on this site, I'm the one who reads it. I also run the factory search, check the quotes, and follow your order through production. That's not a department — it's me.
I've been in Shenzhen [16] years. Before YuSourcing I worked on the factory side — components first, then assembly, mostly in [Long'hua and Fu'tian]. That order matters: most of the padding in a quote hides in the part, not the labor, and the part is where I started.
I know what a line looks like when it's running, and I know what it looks like when someone cleaned it up five minutes before your visit. The mop water is still drying by the door. Everyone's in a fresh uniform. The parts bins at station 4 are empty.
Why this exists
I started YuSourcing because I kept watching buyers make the same three mistakes:
- Trusting the first quote. The first number is always the best-looking one. It's the second one — after tooling, after the revision, after "oh, that price was for 5,000 units" — that decides what you actually pay.
- Skipping the factory check. The office is nice. The factory it subcontracts to is in another town, and nobody has been there.
- Assuming the sample and the bulk will match. The sample was made by an engineer, one at a time, on a bench. The bulk order is made by a line, on a schedule. They are not the same product until someone checks that they are.
The mistakes aren't stupid. The system is opaque. I built this to make it less so.
What I do
- Read every inquiry myself. If I can't source it, you'll know within 24 hours. If I need more time, you'll know that within 24 hours too — and when you'll hear back.
- Visit factories before I send you a match. Not every time — I'd be lying if I said otherwise. But every match tells you whether I've stood on that floor, and when.
- Check quotes line by line. Factory price on one line, my fee on the other. Nothing in between — I don't mark up the factory's number.
- Follow the order through production. Weekly photos from the line, pre-shipment inspection, FOB coordination.
- Answer WhatsApp myself. Usually within 12 hours, same day if you write before midnight China time.
What I won't do
- Take a match outside consumer electronics — audio, charging, wearables, phone accessories, mounts. If your product isn't in one of those, I'll tell you straight instead of wasting your week.
- Bill you for work that didn't happen. No order, no fee. The factory search and the quote comparison cost you nothing.
- Write, buy, or filter reviews. When I have real ones they go up unedited — including the bad ones.
Categories I work with
I work in six product lines — the ones where I already have [factory contacts] in Shenzhen and Dongguan.
Anything else — ask. I'll tell you straight if it's out of scope.
How it works
- You send the inquiry. — your 5 minutes
- I search the network. — 24 hours. You get 3 factories and a price range, or a straight no.
- You pick, request samples. — 3–7 days. Samples to your door.
- Confirm, then production. — 15–30 days. Weekly photos from the line.
- Inspection, then FOB Shenzhen. — 1–2 days. Inspection report, then it's on the water.
Factory payment: 50% deposit on order, 50% before shipping — paid to the factory, not to me.
My fee: a percentage of the order value, invoiced when you confirm.
Common questions
Will I deal with the same person from inquiry to port?
Yes. I read the inquiry, find the factory, check the quote, and follow the order through production and shipping. If something goes wrong, I'm the one who fixes it.
How do you actually get paid?
My fee is [2.5–8%] of the factory order value, shown on a separate line in the quote. You pay the factory directly. I invoice my fee when you confirm the order.
Do you only work with consumer electronics?
Yes. Audio, charging, wearables, phone accessories, mounts. If your product is outside that, I'll say so instead of wasting your week.
[About 1 in 3 inquiries, I turn down.] Not because the product is bad — because it's outside the categories I can actually help with. I'd rather say no in 24 hours than waste your week.
Send a product. Get 3 factories in 24 hours.
Or a straight no. No fee unless you order.
