// QUICK DIAGNOSIS

Where the extra cost usually hides

Small-buyer pricingLow volumes often mean catalog price, weak priority, and longer lead time.

Middleman markupDistributor layers can hide margin without improving quality or delivery.

Fake-low FOB quotesThe real number must include tariffs, freight, brokerage, and duties.

Supplier riskFactory audit, QC plan, documents, and Chinese contract review matter.

// SAMPLE OUTPUT

What you get back

RQ-001 · actuator_subassembly · qty basis: 500 · all prices DDP, tariffs & freight included RE-QUOTED

Component	Your current source	Landed cost	Lead time
Harmonic reducer, 17-size	US distributor, catalog price	$412$330	26wk 12wk
Frameless torque motor	Factory direct, small MOQ	$196$168	10wk
Cross-roller bearing	Distributor, two-tier markup	$88$64	8wk
Encoder, 19-bit absolute	Keep your incumbent — my quote wasn't better	$74	6wk

RESULT: subassembly landed cost −17% · worst lead time −14 wk · and one honest "keep what you have"

Figures are illustrative. Your re-quote uses live factory pricing against your actual BOM — and where I can't beat your cost, the line says so.

// WHAT I CHECK

Before I recommend a supplier

Landed costUnit price, tariffs, freight, duties, brokerage, and realistic payment terms.

Factory identityWho actually makes the part, not just who resells it.

MOQ and lead timeWhether the quote works for your build plan, not just a spreadsheet.

Quality controlsInspection plan, sample approval, test reports, and nonconformance path.

Compliance exposureCountry of origin, tariff category, documents, and restricted-work fit.

Incumbent comparisonIf your current supplier is still the safer choice, the line says so.

// BUILT BY LANDEDWISE

Real sourcing work,
not a lead-gen form.

The advantage is structural: I pool demand across clients into consolidated bulk purchases placed alongside established large-volume procurement programs in Asia. Factories quote pallet prices, not sample prices — and that delta is what shows up on your re-quote.

My background is hands-on supply chain program work: supplier negotiation, cost modeling, fulfillment, and audit-ready documentation. I negotiate in Mandarin and English with the supplier base many robotics and industrial components actually come from.

Transparency is the deal. Every order ships with a document trail — country of origin, factory identity, specs, inspection reports — ready for supply-chain review. Commercial and industrial programs only; I do not take defense or export-controlled work.
