Ningbo Baiji I&E Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Ningbo Baiji I&E Co., Ltd. is a China-based supplier located in Zhejiang, with a reported factory area of 2,800+ m² and 20+ staff. The supplier appears to operate as a small-to-mid scale exporter with verified supplier status, 17 years as an Gold Supplier, and Trade Assurance support. Its listed products cover items such as private label coconut fiber products, slackline kits, cotton/buckwheat customized products, and slant boards, with relatively low MOQs ranging from 50 to 200 pieces, making it potentially suitable for small and medium buyers, trial orders, and customized sourcing projects.

The company shows strong platform credibility and good service-related indicators, including Full Customization and ODM service availability. However, its recent business performance is moderate, with 10+ orders and CN¥135.2K+ transaction value in the past six months. Customer feedback is limited, with only 3 reviews despite a 5.0 store rating. Overall, this supplier is suitable for buyers prioritizing platform credibility, customization, and moderate order flexibility, but quality validation should be strengthened before large-volume procurement.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Factory location: Zhejiang, China
- Factory area: 2,800+ m²
- Staff size: 20+ staff
- Verified supplier: True
- Factory audit / factory certification beyond supplier verification: Insufficient Data

Elaboration
The supplier has a clearly stated physical factory scale of 2,800+ m² and a workforce of 20+ staff. This indicates that the company has basic operational capacity and is not merely represented by a trading profile without disclosed production resources. The verified supplier status also adds credibility to its company profile.

However, the employee count remains relatively small, and the provided data does not indicate a large-scale production workforce, multiple production lines, advanced manufacturing equipment, or detailed annual capacity. The available information supports a small-to-medium supplier profile rather than a large-scale industrial manufacturer.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier demonstrates basic production capability through disclosed factory area, staff size, and verified supplier status. However, the modest workforce and lack of detailed production capacity limit the score. It is stronger than a supplier with no operational disclosure, but it does not reach the level of a large-scale, highly mature factory.

Final Score
14 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 17 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Verified supplier: True
- Certification / industry labels: Warranty available, ODM service available, Full customization, Minor customization
- Formal product or management system certifications: Insufficient Data

Elaboration
The supplier has a strong platform credibility profile. A 17-year Gold Supplier history is a significant indicator of long-term platform presence. Trade Assurance support provides additional transaction protection for buyers. The verified supplier status further strengthens its platform reliability.

The supplier also has several platform capability labels, including warranty availability, ODM service, full customization, and minor customization. These labels suggest a relatively complete -facing supplier profile. However, the data does not include internationally recognized certifications, factory management certifications, or product compliance certificates, so the compliance depth cannot be fully confirmed.

Scoring Rationale
The long Gold Supplier duration, Trade Assurance support, and verified supplier status justify a high score. The main limitation is the absence of specific third-party product or factory compliance certifications in the provided data. Therefore, the supplier shows strong platform credibility, though not a fully documented compliance system.

Final Score
18 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Orders in past 6 months: 10+
- Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥135.2K+
- Store rating: 5.0
- Number of reviews: 3

Elaboration
The supplier has recorded commercial activity in the past six months, with 10+ orders and CN¥135.2K+ in transaction value. This indicates that the supplier is active on the platform and has completed recent transactions. The 5.0 store rating is positive, but the review count is very limited.

From a procurement perspective, the transaction volume is not low enough to suggest inactivity, but it also does not demonstrate high-volume market validation. The small number of reviews reduces the reliability of the rating, as a 5.0 score based on only 3 reviews provides limited evidence of consistent customer satisfaction.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has a valid transaction record and positive rating, but order volume and review base remain modest. The business performance appears stable at a small-to-medium level, but not strong enough to support a high commercial validation score. The limited review count is a key constraint.

Final Score
14 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis
- Response time: ≤4h
- Full Customization: Available
- Minor Customization: Available
- ODM service: Available
- Detailed communication metrics: Insufficient Data

Elaboration
The supplier reports a response time of no more than 4 hours, which is acceptable for cross-border sourcing communication. The availability of Full Customization, Minor Customization, and ODM service indicates that the supplier is positioned to handle customized buyer requirements rather than only standard catalog sales.

This is particularly relevant for buyers seeking private label, modified product specifications, or differentiated product configurations. However, since the response time is not within one hour and no additional data is provided on quotation speed, sampling lead time, or project management capability, the service capability cannot be rated at the highest level.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has solid customization capability and acceptable communication responsiveness. The ≤4h response time supports a good but not excellent service rating. The lack of detailed evidence on communication efficiency, sampling process, or after-sales handling prevents a top-tier score.

Final Score
8 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis
- On-time delivery rate: 87.5%

Elaboration
The supplier’s on-time delivery rate is 87.5%, placing it within the 80%–89% range. This indicates generally reliable delivery performance, though there remains some delivery risk compared with suppliers maintaining above 90% on-time shipment.

For buyers with flexible timelines or moderate replenishment planning, this level may be acceptable. However, for time-sensitive procurement, seasonal products, or strict retail delivery windows, additional confirmation of lead times and shipment planning would be necessary before placing larger orders.

Scoring Rationale
Based strictly on the provided scoring standard, an 87.5% on-time delivery rate corresponds to the 7–8 point range. Since the result is close to the upper end of the 80%–89% band but still below 90%, the appropriate score is 8 rather than 9.

Final Score
8 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: 5.0
- Number of reviews: 3
- Verified supplier: True
- Finished Product Inspection: Insufficient Data
- Factory Verification: Supplier verification provided; detailed factory verification scope: Insufficient Data
- Product compliance certifications: Insufficient Data

Elaboration
The supplier has a perfect 5.0 store rating, which is favorable. However, the rating is based on only 3 reviews, so the feedback sample is too small to strongly confirm consistent quality performance across multiple customers or order batches.

The supplier’s verified status provides some baseline credibility, but the data does not confirm Finished Product Inspection, detailed factory verification results, product testing reports, or specific quality management certifications. As a result, the quality assurance system cannot be fully evaluated from the provided information.

Scoring Rationale
The positive store rating supports a reasonable quality score, but the very small number of reviews significantly limits confidence. The absence of confirmed Finished Product Inspection and detailed quality certifications prevents the supplier from reaching the higher scoring ranges. The quality profile is promising but insufficiently validated.

Final Score
13 / 20

Procurement Recommendation

Ningbo Baiji I&E Co., Ltd. is recommended for conditional cooperation, especially for small-to-medium buyers, trial orders, customized product sourcing, private label projects, and buyers who value platform credibility and Trade Assurance protection.

The supplier’s main strengths are its 17-year Gold Supplier history, Trade Assurance support, verified supplier status, customization labels, acceptable response time, and moderate recent transaction activity. These factors make it a credible sourcing candidate for controlled procurement.

Key risks include limited customer review volume, moderate recent order scale, an on-time delivery rate below 90%, and insufficient data regarding Finished Product Inspection, formal factory verification scope, product certifications, and quality management systems. Buyers should request samples, inspection records, production photos, quality control procedures, and clear lead-time commitments before scaling up.

Overall, the supplier has good platform credibility and customization potential, but large-volume cooperation should proceed gradually after quality and delivery validation.
