How we verify
Here's how a photo earns the word verified
Anyone can post a nice picture. We only publish photos our own inspector took on the factory floor, and we can prove it.
- 01
We visit
An ID-verified inspector walks the line, the stock room and the showroom, in person.
- 02
We capture
Photos are sealed the moment they are taken, with the time and exact location.
- 03
We check
Our system confirms the digital fingerprint, the place and the time, so edited or borrowed photos don't get through.
- 04
You check too
Download any original and confirm the fingerprint yourself, right in your browser.
Who really makes it
Twenty sellers, one maker. We tell you which is which.
The same sofa often turns up on twenty websites, each claiming to be the factory. We label every product by what our inspector actually saw.
Made here
We saw it, or its parts, being made on this factory’s own line.
Sample inspected
We inspected the finished sample in the showroom, but didn't see it being made.
Partner factory
The factory told us openly that another maker produces this one.
Your money, protected
The factory gets paid when you get what you ordered.
Your goods money sits with a licensed payments partner, never with us. It's released in two steps, and only when the right things have happened.
Held by a licensed payments partnerNever held by FactoryProof
How escrow worksDeposit
Released once the factory confirms your order and signs the contract.
Balance
Released only after our inspector passes the order and you approve it.
Compare
Four ways to buy from China
Here's how we compare with a sourcing agent, buying online direct, and flying over yourself. Every way can work. The difference is who checks, who pays whom, and what you can prove.
What you pay
Factory Proof
A fixed, published fee per product.
- Sourcing agent
- Usually 5 to 10% of the order.
- Online marketplace, buying direct
- No fee to buy. Inspections are extra.
- Going there yourself
- Flights, hotels, an interpreter and a week off work. About A$2,500 to A$4,000 a trip.
Who else pays them
Factory Proof
Nobody. Factories list free and pay us nothing.
- Sourcing agent
- Some agents are also paid by the factory. Ask yours.
- Online marketplace, buying direct
- Sellers pay the marketplace for ads and ranking.
- Going there yourself
- Nobody.
Is it a real factory?
Factory Proof
Our inspector visited in person and checked the licence, the production line and the headcount.
- Sourcing agent
- Depends on the agent.
- Online marketplace, buying direct
- Many sellers are trading companies. It can be hard to tell.
- Going there yourself
- You'll see it yourself, if you know what to look for.
The photos you see
Factory Proof
Taken by our inspector at the factory. Each one has a digital fingerprint you can check.
- Sourcing agent
- Usually the agent's or the factory's photos.
- Online marketplace, buying direct
- Often the seller's catalogue photos. Some are borrowed.
- Going there yourself
- Your own.
Check before you pay the balance
Factory Proof
Included. Our inspector checks your goods before the balance is paid.
- Sourcing agent
- Often included, or extra.
- Online marketplace, buying direct
- Book and pay an inspection firm yourself. About US$190 to US$310 a day.
- Going there yourself
- Fly back, or hire an inspector.
Costs are estimates as at October 2026. Agent fees and inspection rates are typical published prices. Your costs will vary.
