Process Questions

Common questions about how Global Stitchers works

How is this different from using factory directories?
We’re not a listing site—we’re a sourcing intermediary. We verify manufacturers through our factory verification process, manage RFQs, coordinate samples, oversee production, and support logistics. You get active sourcing management, not passive supplier access.
We work to resolve issues through direct coordination with the factory. Options depend on the situation but may include rework, replacement, partial shipment, or commercial adjustments. Our quality assurance process helps prevent issues before they escalate.
Yes, factory visits can be arranged for qualified buyers. We can coordinate visit logistics and accompany you if needed. However, we recommend completing initial verification and sampling before investing in travel.
Flexibility depends on production stage. Before material procurement, modifications are usually possible. Once production starts, changes become costly or impossible. We help negotiate terms upfront that account for reasonable contingencies.
We coordinate shipping documentation and can advise on customs requirements, but we’re not a customs broker. You or your logistics provider handle actual customs clearance. See our logistics guide for Incoterms and shipping details.
