THE MARKUP TAX
The Aliexpress price isn't the factory price.
Aliexpress sellers buy from the same Chenghai factories that will email you back tomorrow. They mark up 2-3x and call it convenience. You can skip them.
I walked Yiwu for 14 days. Collected business cards from 5,000 factories. Got English-speaking contacts, real MOQs, sample policies. Now I hand you their email and WeChat. No platform in between.
You pay once. You own the list.

THE MARKUP TAX, IN NUMBERS
See what the markup is costing you.
Reseller platforms sit between you and the factory. Here is the math on what that middle layer skims off every month.
Based on our Yiwu price audits, factory-direct runs about 50% below the reseller price. Adjust the inputs to your numbers.

QUESTIONS
What buyers ask before they click
How fresh is the list?
I verified the current list in Yiwu, May 2026. Pro buyers get re-verifications four times a year. Vault buyers get every update I ever ship.
Will suppliers respond if I'm a small buyer?
Yes. MOQs in the list sit between 60 and 500 pieces. The outreach scripts in your pack are tested with these factories. I wrote them as a first-time buyer.
Do they speak English?
Every contact in the list confirmed English over WhatsApp or in person. Where English is partial, the entry says so.
How is this different from Alibaba or 1688?
Alibaba mixes factories with trading companies and pay-to-rank Gold Suppliers. 1688 is in Chinese only. FactoryMile is factories I visited in person.
What if the list disappoints?
30-day no-questions refund. If five suppliers from your shortlist ignore the included script for 48 hours, email me. You keep the list and get your money back.
Is this Aliexpress sellers re-listed?
No. Most Aliexpress sellers are dropshippers buying from the factories in this list. You're one tier up the chain.
What MOQs should I expect?
60 to 500 pieces at most factories. Samples cost $5 to $20 plus courier. The list shows each MOQ next to the contact.
Do you offer a sourcing agent service?
Not yet. I want you talking to the factories. If enough Vault buyers ask, I'll add it.
Can I share the list with a partner or agency?
One license covers one operator. For agencies, email me about a team license.
Do you ship physical products?
No. You get the list and templates. You order products straight from the factories.
Still have questions?
Email me directly — I read every message and reply within one business day.
