I recently engaged Epic Sourcing for my visit to Guangzhou to assist with manufacturer meetings and onsite communications. The entire experience was seamless from the initial airport welcome to the moment I departed. Their professional guidance and attention to detail made our business dealings highly productive. I'm continuing to use them for all offshore management needs.

Another successful trip supported by the Epic Team who provided outstanding logistical support and local knowledge. Their interpreter was excellent and provided meaningful input during supplier discussions. Their professionalism combined with a great sense of humour made our trip both productive and enjoyable.

Amazing service at the Canton Fair. My support person was outstanding in helping me navigate my first attendance. She understood my product and business needs and came well prepared with a list of relevant suppliers and booths. Every conversation was productive and successful. I cannot recommend Epic Sourcing enough.
