What I can do for you

One person, four ways I've got you covered

Find & source

Send a link, a photo, or just an idea. I'll locate it across Chinese stores and markets and find the best version for your budget.

Verify & quality-check

I check every item in person — appearance, size, function, and packaging — and send photos and video before anything ships.

Buy for you

I purchase on your behalf with transparent pricing. You see the exact item cost, domestic shipping, and my fee, with no hidden markup.

Ship worldwide

I consolidate, repack safely, and send through tracked international couriers, with clear customs guidance for your country.

How it works

From your request to your doorstep in six steps

1

Send your request

Share a link or photo, plus quantity, budget, and country. Takes a few minutes.

2

Get a clear quote

I confirm the full price and timeline, usually within a few hours. Quotes are valid for 7 days.

3

Pay securely

Pay by Payoneer or PayPal before I purchase.

4

I source and check

I buy, receive, and inspect everything, with photos and video for you. Usually a few days.

5

International shipping

I pack and dispatch with a tracked courier. Air typically takes 3–10 business days; sea options take longer.

6

Delivery & support

You receive the parcel and can reach me if anything comes up, until it's in your hands.

Shipping times

How long until it reaches you

DestinationAir (tracked)Sea / economy
US & Canada3–8 business days20–40 days
UK & Europe3–10 business days20–40 days

Estimates after dispatch, not guarantees. Customs clearance can add time, and sea freight depends on available container space. Your quote gives a realistic range for your exact item and route.

Real orders, real customers

Recent Finds

A few things I've come across while sourcing lately

Real pieces I've found on recent sourcing runs — the same kind of things buyers ask me to bring home. Not a store, no hard selling: if one catches your eye, just ask. Each gallery can hold several photos and videos of the same piece.

Seasonal

Beige ceramic cup

A soft beige glaze with a rounded, hand-friendly shape — a quiet everyday piece for tea or coffee.

Seasonal

Sage silk scarf

A light sage scarf with a soft drape and a subtle sheen that moves easily between casual and dressed up.

Classic

Jade pendant

A simple green pendant on a fine chain — understated on its own and easy to layer with other pieces.

Home

Rattan decor tray

A woven tray for styling a table or organising small pieces, with a natural, textured finish.

Tea

Sage tea set

A coordinated sage-toned set with a calm, muted palette made for slow, unhurried brewing.

Why I started Zora's Finds

A trusted fixer who treats your order like my own

I've spent years around fashion and products in China, working with brands and supply chains. I know how Chinese stores and factories actually work — and how easy it is for overseas buyers to feel lost, rushed, or misled.

That's why I built a service around one simple idea. I'm based in Shanghai, I answer the messages myself, and I'd rather tell you the truth about an item than make a quick sale.

When we work together, you're not a ticket number. You're talking to one person who knows your name and your order.

— Zora
Simple, transparent fees

Every cost shown separately — nothing hidden

Item cost+Domestic shipping+International shipping+Payment fee+Service fee
  • 10% of the item price, with a minimum of ¥100 per order
  • 8% on orders where the item price is above ¥3,000
  • Quotes valid for 7 days; payment is collected before I purchase
The service fee is my only profit. I don't secretly inflate product prices.

International shipping is charged at the courier's actual rate and shown separately — it is never part of my service fee. Optional shipping insurance is available if you'd like full coverage.

Questions, answered

Everything you might want to know

You send a link, photo, or description. I confirm the full price and timeline, buy after you pay, inspect the item with photos and video, then ship it to you with tracking. One person handles the whole process.

A transparent service fee of 10% of the item price — minimum ¥100, and 8% above ¥3,000. You'll see every cost separately before you decide.

If the real price is lower by 2% or more, I refund the difference automatically. If it's up to 2% higher, I absorb it. If it's more than 2% higher, I pause and you choose: cover the small difference or get a full refund. Nothing is bought without your decision.

Mostly yes — Taobao, 1688, Tmall, brand stores, and market finds. If a seller or category isn't safe or shippable, I'll tell you before we go further.

Through Payoneer or PayPal, in your currency where supported. Payment is collected before I purchase, so your order is confirmed and secured.

Quotes usually arrive within a few hours. Sourcing and inspection take a few days depending on domestic delivery. International express is typically 5–15 business days; economy options are slower. I'll give a realistic range for your specific order.

Usually not. Import rules differ by country, and duties or taxes charged by your customs are the buyer's responsibility. I declare the parcel honestly and walk you through what to expect. Ask me about DDP options if you'd like duties handled in advance.

It's your choice. Without insurance, a lost or damaged parcel is covered only by the courier's standard limited liability, which can be far below the item's value. For valuable or fragile items, I can add insurance based on the declared value and send you the policy. Full details are in the Shipping Policy.

Always. I inspect appearance, quantity, function, and packaging, and send photos and video so you can confirm before international shipping.

Tell me quickly with photos. If a problem is on my side or in domestic transit, I'll resolve it before shipping. For issues in international delivery, I'll help with the courier and any claim. Details are in the Refund Policy.

The service fee has a ¥100 minimum per order, which makes very small items less economical. I'm happy to suggest the most cost-effective way to combine items.

Because you get a real, accountable person — honest advice, real photos and video, and direct answers. I don't hide behind automation, and my business depends on your trust and referrals.

Have something in mind? Let's find it.

Send a link or photo on WhatsApp, or just describe what you're looking for. I'll get back to you with the details.
