Case intake form

Local Sample Reality Check

Use the form below to send the details and files we need for this review.

Submit first. Then the payment step. Wait for receiving instructions.

After submitting the intake form, continue to the payment step using the same email address so we can match the two steps.

Address

The China receiving address is not published on the website. Receiving instructions are emailed only after the intake and payment are matched.

Receiving details

Receiving details are shared after the intake and payment step are matched. Once the supplier sends the sample, email the tracking number so we can identify the delivery.

If the payment step does not open

Use the link provided after submission or contact us by email. The first step is still the intake form.

Costs outside the $199 service fee.

The $199 fee covers the local sample review and report after the sample is received and identified. It does not include sample or logistics costs.

Excluded costs

Sample cost, China domestic shipping, international forwarding, customs duties, taxes, third-party testing, extra storage, and separate handling arrangements.

Supplier charges

If the supplier charges for the sample or domestic delivery, that cost is separate from the review fee.

Separate handling

Forwarding, extra storage, or special handling after report delivery is outside the standard $199 service fee.

Timing and sample handling

The report timeline starts after we receive and identify the sample.

Submitting the intake form, completing the payment step, or receiving a supplier dispatch note does not start the report timeline by itself.

If the sample has not arrived yet.

You provide the tracking number after dispatch. Delivery remains between you, the supplier, and the courier. CSC does not monitor or manage shipment status.

This service does not repeatedly chase the supplier, manage logistics, recover payments, or handle supplier disputes.

Sample holding after delivery.

After the report is delivered, the sample is kept for 7 days by default unless a different arrangement is confirmed by email.

Any forwarding, extra storage, or separate handling is outside the standard $199 service fee.

Buyer-side by design

What the report gives, and what it does not do.

The report gives a Ship / Revise / Compare / Stop next-step read based on reviewed evidence, with reasons, missing evidence, and sample-side action notes.

This is a buyer-side read from reviewed evidence — not transaction clearance, supplier selection, or formal inspection.

Reviewed

The sample and the limited supporting materials you provide for the requested review.

Not sourcing

No supplier lists, supplier contact details, supplier recommendations, or choosing suppliers for the buyer.

Not transaction work

No transaction endorsement, negotiation, payment handling, shipping management, purchasing-agent work, or supplier commissions.

Not formal review

No formal inspection, lab testing, legal advice, customs advice, certification review, or formal audit.

Missing evidence

When evidence is missing or inconsistent, the report names what should be clarified before moving forward.

Timing and policies

Report timing and policy acknowledgment

After the first expected sample arrives, the remaining expected samples have seven calendar days to arrive. The two-business-day report period starts only when all expected samples are received, identified, and matched, or when you confirm in writing that CSC should proceed with the samples already received. Supplier and courier delivery time is not part of CSC's report SLA.

The $199 fee covers up to six comparable physical samples within one comparable-product brief. Samples, shipping, duties, forwarding, extra storage, and testing are outside the standard fee.

By submitting this form, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the Service Rules, Refund Policy, Privacy Policy, and Terms.

Final reminders

Questions that affect your intake.

When will I receive the China receiving address?

After your intake and payment are matched. The receiving address is not published on the website; receiving instructions are sent by email after the match is confirmed.

Is the sample cost included in the $199 fee?

No. The sample cost, China domestic shipping, international forwarding, duties, taxes, third-party testing, extra storage, and separate handling arrangements are outside the $199 service fee.

When does the report timeline start?

The timeline starts after the sample reaches our local team and is matched to your request. Intake submission, payment, or supplier dispatch alone does not start the report timeline.

What happens if the sample has not arrived?

You provide the tracking number after dispatch, but CSC does not monitor or manage shipment status. The review begins only after the sample is received and identified.

How long is the sample kept after the report?

After report delivery, the sample is kept for 7 days by default unless another arrangement is confirmed by email.

Start with the intake form, then complete the payment step with the same email.

The $199 sample check works best when you use the same email for the request and payment, then send us the tracking number after your supplier dispatches the sample.
