DTC brands lose $2–5K on their first overseas order due to quality failures. Aally eliminates that risk with on-ground inspections in China and supplier vetting backed by 16+ years of supply chain experience.
Find & vet suppliers from our network
On-site team catches 90% of defects pre-shipment
Verified goods, full documentation, to your door
DTC founders shouldn't need a Fortune 500 supply chain team to source responsibly. We put boots on the ground in China so you don't have to.
Without pre-shipment inspection, the average defect rate on first orders is 8%. That’s 80 defective units per 1,000 — chargebacks, returns, lost customers.
Colors “slightly off,” quality different from samples, packaging damaged in transit. Most first orders have at least one costly surprise.
Alibaba “Gold Suppliers” and trading companies add 30–40% markup. Going direct to vetted factories saves thousands on every order.

Real people on the ground verifying your suppliers. No blind trust — we inspect before you pay. Pre-shipment inspections catch 90% of defects before they become your problem.
Alibaba “Gold Suppliers” and trading companies take 30–40% margins. We connect you directly with vetted factories. On a $10K order, that’s $3,000–4,000 saved.
A single inspection costs $100–200. Without it, the average first-order quality failure costs $2–5K. The math is obvious — we don’t ship until it’s right.

Our China-based inspection team operates directly inside factories before a single unit ships. They verify product specs, material quality, labeling, and packaging against your requirements — catching defects that photos and Alibaba listings never reveal. This is the same layer of protection that large brands use, now available to DTC founders at a flat fee.
