Jining Hee Ka Lee Sport Products Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Jining Hee Ka Lee Sport Products Co., Ltd. is a China-based supplier located in Shandong, with a reported factory area of 5,000+㎡ and 140+ staff. The company appears positioned as a medium-sized manufacturer or supplier focused on gloves, including ski gloves, motorcycle gloves, snow gloves, waterproof winter gloves, and OEM daily-use sun protection gloves. Its strongest indicators are platform credibility and delivery performance: it is listed as a 16-year Gold Supplier, supports Trade Assurance, has verified supplier status, and reports a 100.0% on-time delivery rate. However, recent commercial validation is weak, with only 1 order and CN¥338+ transaction value in the past six months, no available store rating, and 0 reviews. This supplier may be suitable for buyers seeking glove products with moderate factory scale and platform-backed transaction protection, but buyers requiring strong market proof, customer feedback, or high-volume recent sales evidence should proceed cautiously.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Factory location: Shandong, China
- Factory area: 5,000+㎡
- Employees: 140+ staff
- Verified supplier: True

Elaboration
The supplier has a reported factory area above 5,000㎡ and more than 140 employees, indicating a meaningful production base rather than a very small trading operation. The verified supplier status adds credibility to the existence and basic operational profile of the company. However, the provided data does not include annual production capacity, number of production lines, machinery details, export volume, or factory audit reports.

Scoring Rationale
The company fits the profile of a medium-sized stable factory based on physical scale and staffing. The verified supplier status supports basic confidence, but the absence of deeper production capacity data prevents classification as a large-scale or highly mature supply chain operation.

Final Score
16 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 16 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Certification / industry tags: Warranty available, Finished product inspection, ODM service available, Minor customization
- Verified supplier: True

Elaboration
The supplier has a long Gold Supplier history of 16 years, which is a strong platform credibility indicator. Trade Assurance support provides an additional transaction protection mechanism. The available tags also show some compliance and service-related capabilities, including finished product inspection and warranty availability. However, the data does not provide specific international certifications, compliance certificates, or detailed factory audit documentation.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has strong platform credibility due to long Gold Supplier tenure, Trade Assurance, and verified supplier status. The certification label set is useful but not fully comprehensive because no specific third-party product or factory certifications are provided.

Final Score
19 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Orders in past 6 months: 1
- Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥338+
- Store rating: Insufficient Data
- Reviews: 0

Elaboration
The recent transaction data is very limited. One order and CN¥338+ transaction value over six months indicate low recent commercial activity on the platform. The absence of a store rating and the lack of customer reviews make it difficult to verify buyer satisfaction, repeat purchasing behavior, or market acceptance through platform evidence.

Scoring Rationale
Although the supplier has strong platform history, recent business performance is weak based strictly on the provided data. The very low order count, small transaction value, missing rating, and 0 reviews significantly reduce commercial validation.

Final Score
7 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis
- Response time: ≤12h
- Customization tags: ODM service available, Minor customization
- Full Customization: Insufficient Data

Elaboration
The supplier’s response time of within 12 hours suggests acceptable communication efficiency, but it does not meet the strongest service benchmark of response within one hour. The supplier shows ODM and minor customization capability, which supports some level of buyer-specific product adjustment. However, the data does not confirm Full Customization capability.

Scoring Rationale
Service capability is moderate. The supplier appears responsive enough for normal procurement communication and offers some customization support, but the lack of confirmed Full Customization and the response time above the top-tier threshold limit the score.

Final Score
7 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis
- On-time delivery rate: 100.0%

Elaboration
The supplier reports a 100.0% on-time delivery rate, which is a strong delivery indicator under the provided scoring framework. This suggests that completed platform-tracked shipments were delivered on schedule. However, the interpretation should consider that recent order volume is very low, with only 1 order reported in the past six months.

Scoring Rationale
Based on the stated 100.0% on-time delivery rate, the supplier qualifies for the highest delivery score range. The limited order base is noted as a caution, but the delivery metric itself meets the top standard.

Final Score
10 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: Insufficient Data
- Reviews: 0
- Finished product inspection: Available
- Verified supplier: True
- Warranty available: Yes

Elaboration
The supplier has some quality assurance indicators, including finished product inspection, warranty availability, and verified supplier status. These elements support a basic quality management framework. However, the absence of store rating and customer reviews creates a major information gap. There is no buyer feedback available to validate product consistency, after-sales handling, or long-term customer satisfaction.

Scoring Rationale
The score reflects a split profile: quality assurance tags are positive, but customer feedback evidence is insufficient. Because there are 0 reviews and no rating data, the supplier cannot be assessed as having strong market-proven quality performance.

Final Score
12 / 20

Total Score

71 / 100

Procurement Recommendation

Cooperation is conditionally recommended. Jining Hee Ka Lee Sport Products Co., Ltd. may be suitable for buyers sourcing glove products who value platform credibility, Trade Assurance, verified supplier status, moderate factory scale, and reported on-time delivery performance. It is more appropriate for cautious trial orders, sample validation, or controlled-volume procurement rather than immediate large-scale purchasing.

Key risks include weak recent transaction performance, 0 customer reviews, missing store rating, and insufficient evidence of Full Customization capability. Growth potential exists due to its 16-year Gold Supplier history, 5,000+㎡ factory area, 140+ staff, product inspection tag, and ODM/minor customization capability, but buyers should verify samples, quality consistency, production capacity, and customization details before scaling orders.
