Our Story
A China Purchasing Agent Built on Three Decades of Factory Relationships
iHomechinabuy is a China sourcing agent operated by NINGBO IHOME INTERNATIONAL TRADING CO., LTD., part of the Sellers Union Group founded in Ningbo in 1997. Since 2004, iHome has connected international B2B buyers with 1,200+ verified factories, handling supplier vetting, price negotiation, quality inspection, and logistics for orders of $5,000 and above.
Unlike Alibaba or trading platforms, every order is handled by a dedicated account manager with direct factory relationships. Our annual purchase volume exceeds $1 billion, giving clients access to pricing and production timelines that individual buyers cannot negotiate independently.
