anirudh@sourcesquid.co

Is the 48-hour teardown really free?

Yes. Send one drawing, photo or quote and a principal returns how the part is made, where it is made best and a realistic target price, with no obligation.

What is included in the inspection day rate?

The inspector’s day on site, travel within the main industrial clusters, the photo report and a verifiable report code. From USD 229 per person-day. For a factory outside the main clusters, we confirm any travel before booking.

How is a sourcing program priced?

From USD 990 per month, or 7% of order value, whichever suits your volumes. The scope is agreed on the first call and reviewed with you every quarter.

Do you take commission from factories?

No. You pay us directly, so every recommendation is made for you alone.

How do I pay?

Fixed-price services such as inspections, audits, reports and shortlists can be booked and paid online by card at /book/, or invoiced for bank transfer if you need a purchase order. Programs are invoiced by international bank transfer in USD or EUR, or in INR for Indian clients. Prices exclude local taxes, and every invoice matches the fixed quote you approved.
