Qingdao Samwha Sports Goods Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Qingdao Samwha Sports Goods Co., Ltd. is a China-based sports goods supplier located in Shandong, with a reported factory area of 4,100+㎡ and 70+ staff. The supplier’s listed product range focuses on martial arts and combat sports equipment, including karate uniforms, taekwondo kicking pads, electronic chest guards, head guards, and foot protection products. Its profile shows 6 years as a Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance support, 90+ orders and CN¥676.1K+ transaction value over the past six months, indicating a commercially active supplier with verified platform performance. The company appears suitable for buyers seeking medium-scale sourcing of taekwondo and karate-related goods, especially those requiring low MOQ customization and reliable delivery. However, review volume is limited at 10+, and there is insufficient data on Finished Product Inspection, detailed factory audit scope, international certifications, or major customer references. Overall, this supplier presents a solid but not risk-free procurement option.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Factory area: 4,100+㎡
- Employees: 70+ staff
- Verified supplier / factory audit status: True
- Location: Shandong, China

Elaboration
The supplier has a documented production base with a moderate factory area and workforce size. A 4,100+㎡ facility and 70+ staff suggest it is not a very small workshop, but it also does not qualify as a large-scale industrial manufacturer based on the provided data. The “verified supplier” status adds credibility to the existence and basic operational capacity of the company.

Scoring Rationale
The company demonstrates stable mid-sized manufacturing capability, supported by physical factory data and staff numbers. However, the available data does not show large-scale production capacity, advanced automation, multiple facilities, or detailed factory certification records. Therefore, it fits best within the “medium stable factory” range rather than the top-tier large-scale supplier category.

Final Score
16 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 6 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Certification / platform labels: Low MOQ for customization, Response time ≤2h, On-time delivery 100.0%
- Verified supplier status: True

Elaboration
The supplier has maintained Gold Supplier status for 6 years, which provides a reasonable platform credibility record. Trade Assurance support further improves buyer protection during transactions. The presence of operational labels such as response time and on-time delivery adds practical platform-level validation.

Scoring Rationale
A 6-year Gold Supplier history, Trade Assurance availability, and verified supplier status indicate a relatively complete platform credibility structure. The supplier has stronger credibility than newly listed or non-verified suppliers. However, the provided data does not include detailed third-party certificates, product compliance certificates, or recognized international certification records, so a perfect score is not justified.

Final Score
18 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Orders in past 6 months: 90+
- Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥676.1K+
- Store rating: 4.7
- Reviews: 10+

Elaboration
The supplier shows active transaction history over the past six months, with more than 90 orders and over CN¥676.1K in transaction value. The store rating of 4.7 is positive and indicates generally satisfactory buyer feedback. However, the review count is relatively limited at 10+, which reduces the depth of customer validation.

Scoring Rationale
The order volume and transaction value indicate stable commercial activity, especially for a specialized sports goods supplier. The rating is good, but the limited number of reviews prevents stronger confidence in long-term customer satisfaction consistency. The supplier fits the “stable medium-scale transaction” category rather than the highest business-performance tier.

Final Score
16 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis
- Communication response time: ≤2h
- Customization-related label: Low MOQ for customization
- Full Customization: Insufficient Data

Elaboration
The supplier provides a response time within two hours, which indicates acceptable communication efficiency for sourcing discussions. The platform label also shows low MOQ customization, suggesting some flexibility for customized orders. However, the data does not confirm whether the supplier supports full customization, design development, private labeling, or complex OEM/ODM projects beyond low MOQ customization.

Scoring Rationale
The response time is good but does not meet the strongest benchmark of response within one hour. Customization capability is partially supported by the available label, but the absence of confirmed Full Customization data limits the score. The supplier is suitable for standard or moderately customized procurement, but more complex customization requirements would need further verification.

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 indicator of delivery reliability within the platform data provided. This is particularly important for buyers managing seasonal inventory, club supply schedules, or repeat replenishment orders.

Scoring Rationale
According to the scoring standard, an on-time delivery rate above 90% qualifies for 9–10 points. Since the reported rate is 100.0%, the supplier reaches the highest delivery-performance level based on available data. No negative delivery indicators are provided.

Final Score
10 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: 4.7
- Reviews: 10+
- Verified supplier / factory audit status: True
- Finished Product Inspection: Insufficient Data
- Factory Verification: True, based on provided verified supplier status

Elaboration
The supplier has a positive store rating of 4.7, which suggests generally favorable customer experience. The verified supplier status also provides some quality-related confidence regarding company legitimacy and factory presence. However, the review base is relatively small, and there is no provided evidence of Finished Product Inspection, quality control reports, product testing certificates, or detailed inspection procedures.

Scoring Rationale
The rating is good and factory verification supports basic trust, but the limited review count and lack of explicit quality inspection data prevent a higher score. The supplier demonstrates acceptable quality credibility, but buyers should request product samples, inspection standards, and quality documentation before bulk orders.

Final Score
15 / 20

Total Score

82 / 100

Procurement Recommendation

Qingdao Samwha Sports Goods Co., Ltd. is recommended as a viable supplier for buyers sourcing martial arts and taekwondo-related equipment at small to medium purchasing volumes. It is especially suitable for importers, sports clubs, distributors, and retailers seeking Trade Assurance protection, low MOQ customization, stable response time, and strong delivery performance.

Key risks include limited review volume, insufficient data on Finished Product Inspection, unclear full customization capability, and no provided international product certification records. Its growth potential appears positive based on active recent transactions, 6-year Gold Supplier history, verified supplier status, and 100.0% on-time delivery performance. For bulk procurement, buyers should conduct sample testing, confirm quality inspection procedures, and verify customization scope before placing large orders.
