Sourcing With the Math Attached
A supplier quote without freight and duties is a teaser, not a number. We source factory-direct and attach the landed-cost math to every option — three quotes per request, each one comparable to the others because the unit price is only the first line of the spreadsheet.
Sound familiar?
- ✕Three supplier quotes, no idea what any of them costs delivered.
- ✕The cheapest factory quote became the most expensive landed option.
- ✕'Free' agents whose real margin lives in the freight you never see.
- ✕Duty rates nobody calculated until the goods arrived.

+Do you add markup to the freight?
Our freight rates are the same ones we quote openly — and the ones our calculator references. If you can beat them shipping yourself, we'll say so and you can.
+Can I use your calculators and ship with my own forwarder?
Genuinely, yes — the tools are free and always will be. Many users become clients; none are forced to.
+What if I already have a supplier?
Even better: we verify, inspect, and ship — your relationship stays, the math and the risk controls get added.
