Supplier verification

Verify a Chinese supplier before you pay

Before sending money to a supplier in China, LEXD helps importers check the essential signals: company identity, real capacity, price consistency, stated quality, fraud risks and inspection options before shipping to Cameroon or Africa.

What we check

A supplier can have strong photos and convincing messages, but that is not enough. We review concrete signals that help you decide whether to proceed, ask for a sample, request more proof or walk away.

  • Company name and contact details
  • Price, quantity and quality consistency
  • Real photos or videos
  • Ability to prepare goods and documents

Alibaba, 1688 and direct factories

Alibaba is common for international trade, while 1688 mainly serves the domestic Chinese market. Each channel has different risks, so the verification changes by platform and order value.

  • Supplier profile review
  • Targeted questions to the seller
  • Payment method risk check
  • Warning on unrealistic prices

Inspection before shipping

When the goods are ready, a photo or video check can confirm quantity, packaging, product appearance and visible mistakes before the shipment leaves China.

  • Carton and reference photos
  • Visual quality control
  • Packaging check
  • Approval before air or sea freight

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if a Chinese supplier is reliable?

You should check the company identity, consistency of information, production proof, reviews, real photos, payment terms and ability to provide requested documents.

Can you verify an Alibaba or 1688 supplier?

Yes. We can analyze available information, contact the supplier, request proof, arrange photo checks or recommend deeper inspection based on the order value.

Does verification guarantee there will be no problem?

No verification removes every risk. It strongly reduces obvious mistakes and common fraud signals before payment.

Should I verify before ordering a sample?

Yes, especially for a new supplier. A sample helps, but it should come from a supplier that already looks credible.
