Donkey

Donkey connects US importers directly to Chinese factories, eliminating traditional middlemen. We handle every step of the supply chain—sourcing, inspection, logistics, and customs—delivering goods to the importer’s dock at a single, transparent price that includes all duties. Our on-site inspectors verify quality before payment is made to the factory, ensuring reliability. Unlike legacy trading firms that inflate costs by 15 to 30 percent, Donkey leverages real-time data and automation to deliver lower landed costs faster.

We operate with a small, bilingual team in San Francisco and China, using AI to analyze public US customs records and identify supply chains. When an importer sends just one photo of a part, we can identify the actual factory and match it within 72 hours. Buyers receive credit-insured net-45 terms, and each transaction improves our ability to serve future orders. The system scales efficiently, turning every completed deal into better pricing and more accurate sourcing intelligence.
