Why IndiaUnbox
Sourcing from India shouldn't mean managing five vendors.
Most buyers stitch together a directory, an agent, an inspection firm, a forwarder and a customs broker — and when something goes wrong, everyone points somewhere else.
The usual way
- Supplier directory
- Freelance sourcing agent
- Third-party inspection firm
- Testing lab
- Freight forwarder
- Customs broker
Six contracts. Six points of failure.
With IndiaUnbox
- One brief, under NDA
- One accountable team
- One milestone fee schedule
- One shipment, EXW to DDP
One partner, accountable from RFQ to doorstep.
