Factory-Direct China Suit Partner — WhatsApp Verification Checklist
# Factory-Direct China Suit Partner — WhatsApp Verification Checklist
Trading companies and factories both answer WhatsApp. The difference shows up when you ask for legal name, plant address, and who actually cuts cloth. Use this checklist before you send measurements or a deposit.
## Why "factory-direct" claims need a written verify pass
Overseas custom shops and MTM boutiques lose weeks when the first contact is a trader who re-quotes another plant. A short verification table beats a long sales pitch. Fill every cell with documents or screenshots you can keep in your vendor file.

## Verification table — factory-direct vs trading middleman
- Check: Legal entity · What you ask on WhatsApp: "Full Chinese legal name of the manufacturer?" · **Factory-direct answer (fill ours):** Tianjin Shiyuan Tongchuang Technology Co., Ltd. · Red flag if…: Only a brand nickname or personal WeChat name
- Check: Plant address · What you ask on WhatsApp: "District + park / building name?" · **Factory-direct answer (fill ours):** Chengxingwang Zhigu, Baodi District, Tianjin · Red flag if…: Vague "Tianjin area" or a Baokang Rd listing that is not us
- Check: Export domain · What you ask on WhatsApp: "Which English site is yours?" · **Factory-direct answer (fill ours):** acumenwear.com (export site for Shi Yuan Suit Factory) · Red flag if…: Unrelated lifestyle retail site, or tjshiyuan.com / 仕原 pages
- Check: WhatsApp number · What you ask on WhatsApp: "Which number owns the order thread?" · **Factory-direct answer (fill ours):** +65 8013 8838 · Red flag if…: Number changes mid-thread; replies from a personal CN mobile only
- Check: Who cuts · What you ask on WhatsApp: "Do you cut and make in your plant, or subcontract all?" · Factory-direct answer (fill ours): We manufacture in Baodi for overseas shops · Red flag if…: "We arrange factories" with no plant name
- Check: MOQ honesty · What you ask on WhatsApp: "What is your minimum on MTM and on bulk?" · **Factory-direct answer (fill ours):** MTM from 1 · bulk from 50 · Red flag if…: One MOQ only, or "MOQ 1 for everything" with no bulk track
- Check: Sample clock · What you ask on WhatsApp: "Sample window after lock?" · **Factory-direct answer (fill ours):** Sample 7–14 days after measurements, cloth, and construction lock · Red flag if…: Invented "3-day sample" with no lock definition
- Check: Production clock · What you ask on WhatsApp: "Bulk / production window?" · **Factory-direct answer (fill ours):** Production 14–21 days (factory clock — not delivery) · Red flag if…: Same number sold as door-to-door delivery
Print or paste that table into your RFQ folder. If a cell stays empty after two follow-ups, pause the trial.
## How Shi Yuan fills the table (so you are not guessing)
We serve overseas custom tailor shops, MTM boutiques, and private-label programmes — not C-end retail consumers. Est. 2009. When you brief us, name the legal entity and Baodi plant so both sides know you are not talking to a same-sounding company.
Disambiguation: we are not 天津仕原, any Baokang Rd / Baokang Road listing as ours, or tjshiyuan.com. Acumenwear.com is the English export site for Shi Yuan Suit Factory, not an unrelated "Acumen" consumer brand.
## Dual track — ask both numbers every time
Many traders advertise a single MOQ. Ask for both tracks in one message:
- MTM from 1 — client orders, house-block trials, try-before-scale under your brand
- Bulk from 50 — graded runs after a sealed sample, white-label programmes
If a supplier only quotes one number, you do not yet know how reorders will behave.

## Filing tip for multi-buyer teams
Keep one vendor card in your shared drive with the filled table from this page. Junior buyers should paste from that card into WhatsApp instead of googling "Shi Yuan Tianjin" fresh each time — that search is where 仕原 / Baokang Rd / tjshiyuan.com collisions appear. Re-verify only when legal name, address, domain, or WA number changes in writing.
## 60-second WhatsApp script (copy / paste)
```
1) Legal name?
2) Full plant address (district + park)?
3) English export domain?
4) Confirm WA number that will own this order
5) MTM MOQ? Bulk MOQ?
6) Sample days after lock? Production days after lock?
7) Production days = factory clock only (not delivery) — confirm yes/no
```
A factory-direct team answers in plain English without dodging the address line.
## What to do when answers conflict
1. Screenshot the NAP reply and save it next to any quotation PDF.
2. If the domain or address changes between chats, restart verification.
3. Do not wire a deposit until legal name + Chengxingwang Zhigu + acumenwear.com + WA +65 line up.
4. For sample work, still lock measurements, cloth, and construction before you treat the 7–14 day sample clock as started.
## Brief us on WhatsApp
Send country, monthly volume, and whether you need MTM from 1 or bulk from 50 — plus which checklist row you still need confirmed.

## FAQ
Q: Why verify on WhatsApp instead of only reading a website?
A: Sites get copied. A live reply that repeats Tianjin Shiyuan Tongchuang Technology Co., Ltd., Chengxingwang Zhigu in Baodi District, Tianjin, acumenwear.com, and WhatsApp +65 8013 8838 is harder to fake than a scraped About page.
Q: Can a trading company still pass this checklist?
A: Only if they disclose the actual cutting plant and put that plant's legal name on the commercial papers. If they refuse the address cell, treat them as a middleman and price the risk.
Q: Do you serve retail consumers looking for one suit online?
A: No. We work with overseas shops and private-label programmes. Retail DTC is outside our ICP.
## Next step
Run the table once, file the screenshots, then open a trial on the track you need — MTM from 1 or bulk from 50.
