Supplier Evaluation Report

Supplier: Hebei Kang Sheng Yuan Sports Goods Co., Ltd.
Country/Province: China, Hebei

Executive Summary

Hebei Kang Sheng Yuan Sports Goods Co., Ltd. appears to be a medium-sized apparel and sportswear supplier with a factory area of 6,800+㎡ and 110+ staff. The supplier has a verified supplier status, 10 years as an Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance support, and platform tags including Full Customization, Low MOQ for customization, and Finished Product Inspection. Its recent business performance is relatively strong, with 1,000+ orders and CN¥1.3M+ transaction value over the past six months, supported by a 4.6 store rating and 300+ reviews. The supplier is suitable for buyers seeking low-MOQ apparel sourcing, sportswear, women’s casualwear, and customization-based procurement. Key strengths include platform credibility, order volume, delivery reliability, and customization capability. Main risks relate to limited disclosed information on formal factory certifications beyond platform verification and inspection tags.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength — 20 Points

Basis

• Factory area: 6,800+㎡
• Employees: 110+ staff
• Verified supplier: True
• Location: Hebei, China
• Product scope shown: women’s apparel, sportswear, jumpsuits, shorts, knitwear, shapewear-related apparel

Elaboration

The supplier demonstrates a moderate production foundation, supported by a factory area above 6,800㎡ and a workforce exceeding 110 employees. These figures suggest that the company is not a small trading-only operation based on the provided data, but rather has a physical production or operational base capable of handling regular apparel orders. The verified supplier status adds credibility to the existence and basic operational capability of the company.

However, the data does not provide detailed production line numbers, monthly capacity, machinery list, annual output, export percentage, or formal factory audit certificates such as ISO, BSCI, Sedex, WRAP, or similar compliance documents. Therefore, while the company shows stable medium-scale capability, the available evidence is not sufficient to classify it as a large-scale fully audited supply chain.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier fits the “medium-sized stable factory” category. A 6,800+㎡ facility and 110+ staff provide a reasonable production base for apparel sourcing, especially for small to medium batch procurement. Verified supplier status strengthens confidence, but the absence of detailed factory certification or production capacity data prevents a higher score in the 18–20 range.

Final Score

16 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility — 20 Points

Basis

• Gold Supplier: True
• Gold Supplier duration: 10 years
• Trade Assurance: True
• Verified supplier: True
• Certification/industry tags:
• Low MOQ for customization
• Finished Product Inspection
• Full Customization

Elaboration

The supplier has a strong platform credibility profile. A 10-year Gold Supplier history indicates long-term platform presence, which is a meaningful credibility signal in online B2B sourcing. Trade Assurance support provides buyers with an added transactional protection mechanism. The verified supplier status further supports the legitimacy of the business profile.

The listed platform tags also improve sourcing confidence, particularly Finished Product Inspection and Full Customization. These tags suggest that the supplier has platform-recognized service and quality-related capabilities. However, the provided data does not include independent third-party compliance certificates, detailed audit reports, or specific factory compliance standards. Therefore, the evaluation must remain limited to platform-level credibility rather than full compliance certification.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier has long-term Gold Supplier history, Trade Assurance, verified supplier status, and relevant platform capability tags. These factors strongly support platform credibility. The score is high, though not perfect, because no formal third-party compliance certificates or detailed audit documentation are provided.

Final Score

19 / 20

3. Business Performance — 20 Points

Basis

• Orders in past 6 months: 1,000+
• Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥1.3M+
• Store rating: 4.6
• Reviews: 300+

Elaboration

The supplier shows strong recent transaction activity. More than 1,000 orders in six months indicates active market demand and consistent buyer engagement. A transaction value above CN¥1.3M also demonstrates meaningful commercial throughput on the platform.

The 4.6 store rating is positive and supported by 300+ reviews, which provides a reasonable customer feedback base. The combination of high order volume and a substantial number of reviews suggests that the supplier has been tested by multiple buyers rather than relying on limited transaction history. However, the rating is good rather than exceptional, so some caution is still appropriate when evaluating consistency across all orders.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier qualifies as a high-activity seller based on 1,000+ recent orders and CN¥1.3M+ transaction value. The 300+ reviews provide sufficient feedback volume, and the 4.6 score supports a generally positive performance record. The score is placed in the high range, but not at the maximum level due to the rating being solid rather than outstanding.

Final Score

18 / 20

4. Service Capability — 10 Points

Basis

• Communication response time: ≤3h
• Full Customization: Yes, based on platform tag
• Low MOQ for customization: Yes, based on platform tag

Elaboration

The supplier demonstrates good service capability through a response time of no more than three hours. This is acceptable for international sourcing communication and indicates that buyers can expect relatively timely interaction. The Full Customization tag is especially relevant for apparel buyers who require private label, style modification, sizing adjustments, or other customization-related services, although the exact customization scope is not specified in the data.

Low MOQ for customization is also a practical advantage for emerging brands, small retailers, online sellers, or buyers testing new SKUs. However, because the response time is not within one hour, and no additional service metrics such as sample lead time, design support, account management structure, or after-sales response data are provided, the supplier cannot be rated at the top service level.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier provides normal-to-good communication efficiency and has clear platform evidence of customization capability. The response time of ≤3h is suitable for most procurement communication, but it does not meet the strongest benchmark of ≤1h. Therefore, the supplier is assessed as having solid but not top-tier service capability.

Final Score

8 / 10

5. Delivery Performance — 10 Points

Basis

• On-time dispatch rate: 98.1%

Elaboration

The supplier’s delivery performance is a clear strength. An on-time dispatch rate of 98.1% is well above the 90% benchmark for a high delivery score. This indicates that, based on platform data, the supplier has been able to dispatch orders within committed timelines with strong consistency.

For apparel sourcing, delivery reliability is especially important because buyers often operate around seasonal launches, online campaign schedules, and inventory replenishment cycles. A 98.1% on-time dispatch rate reduces procurement uncertainty and supports better planning. However, the data only covers on-time dispatch and does not include total transit time, production lead time, logistics method, or late-delivery dispute records.

Scoring Rationale

According to the scoring standard, an on-time dispatch rate above 90% qualifies for 9–10 points. At 98.1%, the supplier demonstrates excellent dispatch reliability. Since the available metric is very strong, the supplier receives the maximum score for this dimension.

Final Score

10 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback — 20 Points

Basis

• Store rating: 4.6
• Reviews: 300+
• Finished Product Inspection: Yes, based on platform tag
• Verified supplier: True

Elaboration

The supplier has a positive quality and customer feedback profile. A 4.6 store rating supported by 300+ reviews indicates that the supplier has accumulated a meaningful level of buyer feedback and has generally maintained satisfactory customer experience. The Finished Product Inspection tag is an important quality-related indicator, suggesting that inspection is part of the supplier’s platform-disclosed capability.

Verified supplier status adds another layer of confidence in the supplier’s basic legitimacy and operational profile. However, the data does not provide product defect rates, return rates, inspection pass rates, quality control workflow, fabric testing standards, or third-party quality certifications. Therefore, while the supplier shows good quality assurance signals, the evaluation cannot confirm a fully documented quality management system.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier earns a high score due to its strong review base, good store rating, Finished Product Inspection tag, and verified supplier status. The score is not higher because the rating is 4.6 rather than near-perfect, and detailed quality control documentation is not provided.

Final Score

18 / 20

Procurement Recommendation

Recommendation: Recommended for cooperation, especially for small-to-medium apparel buyers and customization-focused procurement projects.

Hebei Kang Sheng Yuan Sports Goods Co., Ltd. is suitable for buyers sourcing women’s apparel, sportswear, jumpsuits, casualwear, and low-MOQ customized products. Its strongest advantages are long-term presence, Trade Assurance support, verified supplier status, high recent order volume, strong delivery performance, and customization-related platform tags.

Suitable customer types include:
- Small and medium apparel brands
- E-commerce sellers testing multiple SKUs
- Buyers requiring low MOQ customization
- Retailers sourcing women’s summer apparel or sports/casualwear
- Procurement teams prioritizing platform-verified suppliers with strong delivery records

Main risks:
- Insufficient Data on formal factory certifications such as ISO, BSCI, Sedex, WRAP, or similar standards
- Insufficient Data on monthly production capacity, machinery, production lines, and lead times
- Insufficient Data on detailed quality control procedures, defect rates, or third-party inspection results
- Store rating is good at 4.6, but not at the highest level, so sample testing and pre-shipment inspection are advisable

Growth potential:
The supplier shows solid growth potential due to its 1,000+ orders in six months, CN¥1.3M+ transaction value, 10-year Gold Supplier history, and strong 98.1% on-time dispatch rate. With additional verified compliance documentation and more transparent production capacity data, the supplier could become more suitable for larger international buyers or more structured long-term sourcing programs.
