How it works

Find a manufacturer. Agree terms with them directly.

GetSourceDirect is a marketplace, not a broker. Businesses publish what they make and the terms they will sell on. You compare those terms, contact the business, and settle the deal with them.

The sourcing journey

Five steps, all of which work today

DiscoverSearch the marketplace or open a category to see what sellers have actually published. Every listing is written by the business that makes or supplies the product.
CompareRead the published unit price, currency, minimum order quantity and the country the seller is based in. These are the seller own terms, not estimates we calculated.
ContactSend an inquiry with your quantity, specification and destination. It goes to the business you chose, so their quote can be accurate.
Agree termsNegotiate price, payment method, shipping and lead time directly with the seller. The two of you are the counterparties; we are not a party to that contract.
Source directlyThe business ships to you and you settle with them. There is no intermediary between the conversation and the order.

Where the platform sits

Each party in a distribution chain carries its own margin. Contacting the maker directly lets you see the price before those margins are added. Whether buying direct works out cheaper depends on the product, the quantity, shipping, duties and the terms you negotiate — the marketplace does not claim a fixed saving.
