Our Review of Easy Imex

Easy Imex is a UK-owned sourcing company based in Shanghai, founded by Managing Director Adam Gilbourne, who has helped Australian, UK, American and European businesses import from China since 2004. Its about page describes 20 full-time sourcing managers and logistics coordinators in Shanghai and 30 quality control inspectors located throughout China, and the company says its team can be on any factory floor within 24 hours. Our take: Easy Imex sells a complete product-to-market process rather than individual tasks. Each project moves through sourcing, negotiation with an agreed specification, sampling and quality assurance before mass production, quality control inspections, and shipping to the client's door using contracted freight rates. It also runs guided factory tours and trade show visits. Typical categories include furniture, construction materials, pet products, gym and fitness equipment, electronics, home and garden, and apparel, and its guides cover UK furniture fire regulations. The standout for buyers is published package pricing, which is rare among China agents. It suits small and mid-sized importers, especially in furniture and home goods, who want one accountable partner from factory search to delivery and are comfortable paying a sourcing fee upfront.
