China Sourcing and Consolidation
Buy what is not in this catalogue, and ship it in the same container as what is.
What This Means in Practice
Alongside the twelve categories we produce, Mango runs a sourcing team that buys other goods in China on your behalf and consolidates them into the order you have already placed with us. That means one supplier relationship, one set of documents and one shipment instead of three. It is also how our own range has grown: the company started with trekking poles and ski poles in aluminium and carbon, and added fabric items such as camping tents, cooler bags and beach bags as customers asked for them.
How the Process Runs
Each stage produces something you can check: a quotation sheet, a physical sample, a proforma invoice, a packing specification.

Questions About China Sourcing and Consolidation
What does china sourcing and consolidation actually cover?
Alongside the twelve categories we produce, Mango runs a sourcing team that buys other goods in China on your behalf and consolidates them into the order you have already placed with us. That means one supplier relationship, one set of documents and one shipment instead of three. It is also how our own range has grown: the company started with trekking poles and ski poles in aluminium and carbon, and added fabric items such as camping tents, cooler bags and beach bags as customers asked for them.
Is there a charge for samples?
Sample cost and whether it is credited against the production order are stated on the quotation sheet for your specific item. Sample lead time is typically three to fifteen days.
How is the specification recorded?
On the quotation sheet. It states material, size, colour, logo placement and packing, and once you confirm it, it becomes the production specification and the basis of the proforma invoice.
Who controls the factory?
Mango is registered as a trading company and is a shareholder in its partner factory, invested in after three years of working together. A second factory producing tents and bags was added in 2018.
What is covered by the warranty?
A one-year limited warranty applies to every item. Within that period any non-human damage problem is answered with a replacement or a refund.
