Qingdao Cairun Material Technology Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Qingdao Cairun Material Technology Co., Ltd. is a China-based supplier located in Shandong, with a reported factory area of 3,000+ sqm and 60+ staff. The company appears to operate as a small-to-medium manufacturing supplier with basic production capacity and verified supplier status. Its listed products focus on customizable decorative furniture packaging and edge protection-related items, with relatively low MOQ options across several listings. On , the supplier holds Gold Supplier status for 3 years, supports Trade Assurance, and displays compliance-related labels including Warranty available, Low MOQ for customization, and Finished product inspection. Commercial performance is moderate, with 30+ orders and CN¥135.2K+ transaction value over the past six months, but customer feedback volume is limited, with only 5 reviews and a 4.1 store rating. The main concern is delivery reliability, as the on-time shipping rate is only 53.8%. This supplier may be suitable for buyers seeking low-to-medium volume customizable packaging or edge protection products, but delivery control should be carefully managed before scaling procurement.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Factory area: 3,000+ sqm
- Employees: 60+ staff
- Verified supplier: True
- Factory location: Shandong, China
- Product listings indicate customizable furniture packaging and edge protection products

Elaboration
The supplier has a defined physical production base and a workforce size that suggests basic in-house operating capacity. A 3,000+ sqm factory and 60+ employees place the company in a small-to-medium supplier category rather than a large-scale industrial manufacturer. The verified supplier status provides some support for the legitimacy of the company profile, although no additional factory audit details, production line quantity, annual capacity, or equipment information are provided.

Scoring Rationale
The company demonstrates a credible basic manufacturing foundation, supported by factory area, employee count, and verified supplier status. However, the scale is not large enough to be classified as a major supply-chain player, and the dataset does not include deeper production capacity indicators such as monthly output, machinery, factory audit reports, or major buyer references. Therefore, the score fits the upper range of a small-to-medium factory with stable but not highly proven capacity.

Final Score
15 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier tenure: 3 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Verified supplier: True
- Certification / industry labels: Warranty available, Low MOQ for customization, Finished product inspection

Elaboration
The supplier has several important platform credibility indicators, including Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance support, and verified supplier status. The 3-year Gold Supplier period indicates some operating history on the platform, though it is not a long-term tenure. The presence of Finished product inspection is a positive compliance-related label, while Warranty available also supports buyer protection at the product/service level. However, no formal third-party management system certifications such as ISO, environmental certification, or product-specific certification are provided in the dataset.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has the core platform trust elements expected from a credible seller: Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance, and verification. The compliance profile is reasonably complete at the platform level, but the Gold Supplier history is moderate rather than long, and certification depth is limited to listed platform/industry labels. This supports a solid score but not a top-tier credibility rating.

Final Score
16 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Past 6 months orders: 30+
- Past 6 months transaction value: CN¥135.2K+
- Store rating: 4.1
- Number of reviews: 5

Elaboration
The supplier has demonstrated actual recent transaction activity, with more than 30 orders and over CN¥135.2K in transaction value during the past six months. This indicates that the store is commercially active and has some level of buyer conversion. However, the review count is very limited at only 5, which weakens the reliability of the rating as a representative customer satisfaction indicator. The 4.1 rating is acceptable but not high compared with stronger-performing suppliers.

Scoring Rationale
Commercial performance is present but not strong. The order count and transaction value show measurable business activity, but they do not indicate high-volume or high-value platform performance. The low review count makes customer validation limited, and the 4.1 rating suggests only moderate satisfaction. The supplier therefore fits the lower-to-mid range of stable but modest business performance.

Final Score
13 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis
- Communication response time: ≤8h
- Product listings include customizable products
- Platform label: Low MOQ for customization
- Full Customization: Insufficient Data

Elaboration
The supplier’s response time of ≤8 hours is acceptable but not fast enough to qualify as high responsiveness under a procurement service evaluation. The product listings and platform label indicate some customization orientation, including low MOQ for customization. However, the dataset does not explicitly confirm Full Customization capability, design support, sample development process, engineering assistance, or dedicated account management.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier appears capable of handling basic customization requests, especially given the listed customizable products and low MOQ customization label. However, communication speed is moderate rather than excellent, and there is insufficient data to confirm advanced or full customization capability. This places the supplier in the normal service-capability range rather than the high-performance category.

Final Score
7 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis
- On-time shipping rate: 53.8%

Elaboration
Delivery performance is the weakest area in the available dataset. An on-time shipping rate of 53.8% is significantly below the 70% threshold and indicates a high risk of delayed shipments. For buyers with strict project timelines, retail launch schedules, production planning requirements, or replenishment cycles, this performance level requires careful control through order milestones and written delivery commitments.

Scoring Rationale
Based on the scoring standard, an on-time shipping rate below 70% should receive below 5 points. At 53.8%, the supplier shows substantial delivery reliability risk. Although other supplier attributes are acceptable, the delivery metric directly affects procurement execution and therefore receives a low score.

Final Score
4 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: 4.1
- Reviews: 5
- Finished product inspection: Listed
- Verified supplier: True
- Factory Verification: Insufficient Data beyond verified supplier status

Elaboration
The supplier has a Finished product inspection label, which is a positive sign for basic quality control. Verified supplier status also provides some credibility regarding the company profile. However, customer feedback is limited, with only 5 reviews, and the 4.1 rating is moderate rather than strong. The dataset does not provide defect rates, inspection reports, return claims, buyer complaint records, product certifications, or detailed factory verification documents.

Scoring Rationale
The quality-control profile has some support through Finished product inspection and verified supplier status, but customer feedback is not strong enough to validate consistent quality performance at scale. The low number of reviews limits confidence, and the 4.1 rating suggests room for improvement. The score reflects basic quality assurance with insufficient customer feedback depth.

Final Score
13 / 20

Total Score

68 / 100

Procurement Recommendation

Qingdao Cairun Material Technology Co., Ltd. can be considered for cautious cooperation, especially for buyers seeking low-to-medium volume customizable furniture packaging or edge protection products with relatively low MOQ options. The supplier has a credible basic company profile, platform backing, Trade Assurance support, and some quality-control indication through Finished product inspection.

However, this is not yet a low-risk strategic supplier. The main risks are the low on-time shipping rate of 53.8%, limited customer review base, moderate store rating of 4.1, and insufficient data on full customization capability, factory verification details, production capacity, and formal certifications.

Recommended cooperation approach: start with small trial orders, use Trade Assurance, confirm delivery deadlines in writing, require pre-shipment inspection, and evaluate actual responsiveness and quality before increasing order volume. The supplier has growth potential as a customizable packaging and edge protection supplier, but stronger delivery performance and broader customer validation are needed before it can be recommended for larger or time-sensitive procurement programs.
