Wuxi, Jiangsu, China · Purchasing agency for pet product buyers
Your purchasing agent in China.
Not a trader.
We are not a supplier. We are your agent. We do not represent factories, we do not earn margins on goods, we do not control pricing, and we do not handle your payments.
Reply from Miles, founder — not a sales team.
The distinction we are built on
A trader profits from the gap between what the factory charges and what you pay. An agent is paid by you, and only by you. The two cannot be the same company, so we removed the option.
A trader
- Hides margin inside the unit price
- Picks the supplier who pays them best
- You never see the factory's own quote
- Quality problems become a negotiation with the seller
- One invoice, no breakdown
Wuxi Nova
- Paid a fixed fee, published below
- Screens suppliers on your criteria, not on rebates
- You hold the contract and pay the factory directly
- We inspect on your behalf and report what we see
- Fee schedule in writing before we start
“The sales contract is between you and the supplier. Your money goes directly to the supplier. Our income comes from fixed service fees.”
Who we work with
International small and medium-sized pet product buyers who:
- i Have sales channels but no permanent sourcing team in China
- ii Want a trusted local presence to visit factories, monitor production and inspect goods
- iii Are tired of traders who hide markups in unit prices
- iv Want clear boundaries and transparent fees
What we focus on — and what we refuse
We work only in categories where quality can be physically verified. Our restraint is intentional. An agent who claims to handle everything usually handles nothing well.
In scope
-
Leashes, collars, harnesses
Webbing, hardware, stitching, tensile behaviour.
-
Pet beds, cat trees, wooden pet furniture
Structure, finish, fabric, load-bearing joints.
-
Pet bowls & feeders (non-smart)
Material, coating, food-contact surface, stability.
Deliberately out of scope
- No pet food. Food safety liability cannot be isolated through an agency agreement.
- No smart devices. Software and battery issues cannot be caught by physical inspection.
- No toy-like pet products. Toy safety regulations add compliance complexity we are not structured to manage.

Why we are in Wuxi
Within two hours of the clusters that make this category, and of two of China's busiest ports. Factory visits and shipment supervision stay cheap enough to do often — which is the only way they stay useful.
- Pingyang Leashes and collars — roughly 60% of China's output for the category.
- Cixi Pet products cluster.
- Nantong Textile pet beds.
- Shanghai & Ningbo Two of the main export ports. Loading supervision without a flight.
We do not accept supplier commissions or rebates.
If you ever discover that a supplier has paid us anything beyond the fees disclosed here, you may terminate the engagement immediately and receive a full refund.
