EastWest helps Slovenian companies source products direct from Chinese factories — at local prices, not export prices. Lower than Slovenian distributors. Lower than what you'd get on Alibaba.
Most Slovenian companies pay twice — once to the local distributor's margin, once to the "foreigner price" Chinese factories quote outsiders. We remove both. Yidan buys at the same price the factory sells locally.
Reference quote — cardboard boxes 30×30×30 cm, double wall, 500 pcs, sea freight.
EastWest is a small, deliberately human sourcing operation based in Koper. We're not a marketplace. We're not software. We're two people — one in Slovenia, one with deep relationships in China — who handle your sourcing the way you'd want a colleague to handle it.
You tell us what you need. We come back with a real price, from a real factory, within 48 hours. If the numbers work, we move forward. If they don't, we say so.
For first orders, we work as broker. You pay the factory directly — we take a small commission from the supplier. No upfront capital from you, no money handled by us.
We don't keep a stock list. You tell us what you buy regularly — we tell you what it costs at factory. These are the categories we work best in.
"The price you pay shouldn't depend on which passport you hold."
Send the product, the quantity, and a photo or drawing if you have one. We'll come back within 48 hours with a real number from a real factory.
