Quanzhou Leago Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Quanzhou Leago Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. is a China-based sporting goods supplier located in Fujian, primarily offering baseball and softball gloves, including cowhide, steerhide, leather, left-handed, adult, and kids’ glove products. Based on the provided data, the supplier shows strong platform credibility, with 11 years as an Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance support, Finished Product Inspection, and verified supplier status. Its recent business performance is relatively stable, with 100+ orders and CN¥676.1K+ transaction value over the past six months, supported by a 4.5 store rating and 60+ reviews. However, its company scale appears relatively small, with 2,000+㎡ factory area and 10+ staff, which may limit large-volume production flexibility. The most significant concern is delivery reliability, as the on-time delivery rate is only 63.4%. This supplier is more suitable for small to mid-sized buyers seeking sports glove sourcing with platform-backed transaction protection, rather than buyers requiring strict delivery performance or large-scale supply stability.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Factory area: 2,000+㎡
- Employees: 10+ staff
- Verified supplier: True
- Location: Fujian, China

Elaboration
The supplier has a physical factory base and verified supplier status, indicating that it has some confirmed operational presence. However, the factory size and workforce are relatively limited. A 2,000+㎡ facility with 10+ staff suggests a small-scale production setup rather than a large industrial manufacturing base.

Scoring Rationale
The company demonstrates basic production capability and supplier verification, but the small employee base restricts confidence in high-volume or complex order handling. The available data supports classification as a small supplier with foundational manufacturing capacity, not a large-scale stable supply chain.

Final Score
12 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 11 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Certification / industry labels: Finished Product Inspection, Response time ≤6h, On-time delivery 63.4%
- Verified supplier: True

Elaboration
The supplier has a long-standing presence, with 11 years of Gold Supplier history, which is a strong platform credibility indicator. Trade Assurance adds transaction protection, while Finished Product Inspection and supplier verification provide additional compliance-related support.

Scoring Rationale
The long Gold Supplier history, Trade Assurance availability, and verification status create a strong credibility profile. However, the provided certification labels are limited to platform/service-related tags and do not include broader third-party management system certifications. Therefore, the supplier is credible on-platform, but not fully supported by a comprehensive external certification portfolio.

Final Score
18 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Past 6 months orders: 100+
- Past 6 months transaction value: CN¥676.1K+
- Store rating: 4.5
- Reviews: 60+

Elaboration
The supplier has generated measurable transaction activity over the past six months. More than 100 orders and CN¥676.1K+ in transaction value indicate real commercial traction. A 4.5 rating with 60+ reviews suggests that buyers have engaged with the supplier and left a moderate amount of feedback.

Scoring Rationale
The business performance is solid but not top-tier. The order count and transaction value indicate stable commercial activity, while the rating is acceptable but not exceptionally high. The review base is meaningful, though not large enough to classify the supplier as having high-volume buyer validation.

Final Score
16 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis
- Communication response time: ≤6h
- Full Customization support: Insufficient Data
- Product listing includes customizable baseball glove wording, but no confirmed Full Customization service tag was provided

Elaboration
The supplier’s response time of ≤6h indicates acceptable communication efficiency, though it does not meet the strongest benchmark of ≤1 hour. The data does not provide confirmed evidence of Full Customization capability as a platform service or supplier capability tag.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier appears responsive enough for normal sourcing communication, but service capability cannot be rated highly because confirmed Full Customization support is missing. Product naming suggests some customizable offering, but this is not sufficient to conclude full customization capability across orders or programs.

Final Score
6 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis
- On-time delivery rate: 63.4%

Elaboration
The supplier’s delivery performance is the weakest area in the provided dataset. A 63.4% on-time delivery rate means more than one-third of orders may not be shipped on time, based on the platform indicator.

Scoring Rationale
According to the scoring standard, an on-time delivery rate below 70% falls into the lowest performance bracket. This creates a material procurement risk, especially for buyers with seasonal sales windows, promotional schedules, or strict replenishment timelines.

Final Score
4 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: 4.5
- Reviews: 60+
- Finished Product Inspection: Present
- Verified supplier / factory verification indicator: True

Elaboration
The supplier has a positive but not exceptional store rating, supported by 60+ reviews. Finished Product Inspection is a useful quality control indicator, and verified supplier status adds confidence that the supplier has passed some level of platform verification.

Scoring Rationale
The quality profile is generally favorable because there is both customer feedback and inspection-related support. However, the review count is moderate rather than extensive, and the rating of 4.5 leaves some room for improvement. The data supports a good basic quality assurance level, but not a top-tier customer feedback profile.

Final Score
16 / 20

Total Score

72 / 100

Procurement Recommendation

Cooperation is conditionally recommended. Quanzhou Leago Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. is suitable for small to mid-sized buyers sourcing baseball or softball gloves with platform protection, moderate order quantities, and tolerance for supplier-size limitations. The main strengths are long-term Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance, verified supplier status, Finished Product Inspection, and proven recent transaction activity. The key risks are the small factory scale, limited staff base, insufficient confirmed Full Customization data, and especially the low 63.4% on-time delivery rate. Growth potential exists if the supplier improves delivery reliability and provides clearer evidence of customization capacity and quality systems.
