I don’t like how sourcings agent doesn’t give me contacts to manufacture, so everything i said must be delivered by the agent

I want to hire a guy maybe for a 200-300$ just to find the cheapest and good quality manufacturer based on my needs

But so far i can only find percentages based fee

Thank you 🙏

Buy a ticket, do it yourself

They’ll take your $200 and tell you to buy from their buddy.

If you're worried about being " ripped-off" or given a bad deal, do the legwork yourself. Call up companies, make arrangements, go on-site yourself. You're paying the agents to do the work for you, naturally the agents will protect their own interests. If you're getting their contacts for a flat fee, they're potential losing out on profit.
