Who We Are
SourcedPrice is a UK-based project built on 8 years of real-world experience importing products directly from Chinese factories through platforms like 1688.com — China's largest domestic wholesale marketplace.
We're not a sourcing agency, a dropshipping course, or an affiliate blog. We're importers who've been doing this since 2018, and we know exactly what things cost at the factory gate.
Why We Built This
Most UK consumers have no idea how much of what they pay goes to the product itself versus the markup chain. A product that costs £24 to manufacture in China can easily retail for £189 in the UK — a markup of nearly 700%.
We believe in price transparency. Whether you're a curious consumer wanting to understand value, or a small business owner looking for sourcing opportunities, you deserve to see the real numbers.
Our data comes from real listings on 1688.com — China's biggest factory-direct marketplace. We convert genuine RMB wholesale prices to GBP and compare them side-by-side with UK retail prices.
What We Offer
Price Comparisons — Side-by-side factory price vs UK retail price across categories including furniture, tools, electronics, home goods and more. New comparisons added regularly.
Sourcing Guides — Step-by-step guides on how to register on 1688.com, communicate with suppliers via WeChat, arrange shipping, handle payments, and avoid common mistakes.
Sourcing Services — For those who'd rather have someone handle the process, we offer sourcing assistance backed by established logistics and warehousing infrastructure in the UK. Additional services including fulfilment are being developed.
