In a minute
Krated is a Lagos company with people in China. Nigerian businesses bring us the parts of buying from China that go wrong when you do them from here: knowing whether a factory is real, getting goods shipped and cleared, paying a supplier, and knowing what a fair price actually is.
Every service starts the same way: a short form, then a conversation with a named coordinator. Nothing is bought or paid for on this site. If you only want a few consumer items, that lives at Preorder From China.
The five services
- 01
Source, verify, customise
You need a product and don't know where to get it from in China. We find the factory, verify it is a factory and not a reseller with a hidden markup, and get it made to your spec.
- 02
Ship it from China
Shipping of any product out of China: freight, consolidation, customs and the last mile into your warehouse. Sea or air, one container or a share of one.
- 03
Pay a Chinese supplier
We move the money to your supplier in China. Right currency, clean trail.
- 04
Negotiate the deal
Negotiation and commercial support: you tell us what you want, we run the commercial conversation. What a fair unit price looks like, what the MOQ really is, and when a lead time is real.
- 05
Finance a project from China
Project financing from Chinese banks and financiers, for plant, equipment and heavy industrial projects. We make the introduction and run the process. The lending decision is theirs.
How a job runs
- 01
Tell us what you need
A short form or a WhatsApp message. What the product is, how much, where it is going, and what you already know.
- 02
Get a quote that names every line
Goods, freight, duties, clearing and our fee, each shown separately. You agree the number before anything moves.
- 03
A named coordinator runs the job
One person on our side, from the first factory call to the last delivery update. You always know who to ask.
- 04
Follow it to your door
One reference for the shipment, and the paperwork done properly so nothing stalls at customs.
Why it's safe
Whichever service you need, the promises don't change: a price that names every line before you commit, payments that go to a verified supplier against an agreed invoice, a named coordinator on WhatsApp, and your shipment tracked to your door. See the full trust spine →
