REVIEW METHODOLOGY

How supplier records are reviewed

Our review process is designed to improve data quality and classification. It is not a guarantee, endorsement or financial recommendation.

Methodology updated July 14, 2026

Sources and initial checks

We use official company websites, supplier-provided information and other public business sources. A record must have enough information to identify the company, country, supplier type and relevant product categories.

  • Website and company identity
  • Country and product categories
  • Wholesale, dropshipping, manufacturing or fulfillment model

Reviewed and verified labels

A reviewed supplier record has been checked sufficiently for database classification. A verified label is reserved for records that received an additional manual confirmation using official or supplier-provided information. Neither label guarantees future performance.

  • Labels describe our data review status
  • Terms can change after the review date
  • Members must confirm prices, stock, shipping and contracts directly

Updates and corrections

Records can be updated when our team rechecks a supplier, when a supplier submits corrections or when a member reports stale information. Material issues may cause a record to be marked for review, unpublished or archived.

  • Correction requests are reviewed
  • Broken or inactive websites are investigated
  • Conflicting data is not silently treated as verified

Your due diligence

Before paying or signing a contract, verify the legal entity, payment details, samples, return terms, product compliance, shipping times and references independently.

  • Request samples where appropriate
  • Use traceable payment methods
  • Confirm tax, customs and product-compliance obligations
