We buy close to where things are made.
Most of what anyone owns was made in a factory far away and passed through several hands before it reached a shop. We start nearer the beginning of that chain.
Where things are made
Our suppliers are manufacturers in China, where a very large share of the world’s products are made. We buy from them, not from the end of a chain of resellers.
What we look for
A supplier can offer thousands of things. We look at the materials, the finish and the details, and ask the same seven questions of every one.
What makes the cut
Most of it does not. What does is photographed, measured and written up, so the page tells you what the product is made of and what it does.
How it gets to you
Orders are paid for securely at checkout with Paystack and delivered inside Nigeria. Delivery options and cost are shown at checkout, and tracking is sent once your order ships.
What manufacturer-direct means, and what it does not.
It means
- We buy close to where things are made.
- We tell you what a product is made of when we know.
- We say so when we do not know.
It does not mean
- We do not own a factory.
- Other people are still involved along the way.
- We are not always the cheapest.
