Sourcing on Alibaba vs Getting Verified Intelligence

The risk isn't the platform. It's the lack of verification.

  • No reliable way to spot middlemen
  • Prices that look good but change later
  • Specs that seem minor but fail at scale
  • QC based on factory promises

Problems surface after money is committed.
