Shangrao Caidu Clothing Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Shangrao Caidu Clothing Co., Ltd. is a China-based supplier located in Jiangxi, with a reported factory area of 9,600+㎡ and 130+ staff. Based on the provided data, the company appears to be a medium-sized apparel-related supplier with verified supplier status, Gold Supplier membership for 4 years, Trade Assurance support, and measurable platform transaction performance. Its recent business activity is relatively solid, with 300+ orders and CN¥1.1M+ transaction value over the past six months. The supplier’s on-time delivery rate of 92.8% is a positive indicator for delivery reliability. However, the store rating of 4.4 is acceptable but not outstanding, and some quality and service-related information is incomplete, including Finished Product Inspection, full customization capability, and detailed factory certification data. This supplier may be suitable for buyers seeking low-to-medium MOQ apparel products, especially printed shirts or fashion shirt items, while buyers requiring strict quality assurance documentation should conduct further verification.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis

• Company name: Shangrao Caidu Clothing Co., Ltd.
• Country: China
• Factory location: Jiangxi
• Factory area: 9,600+㎡
• Employees: 130+ staff
• Verified supplier: True

Elaboration

The supplier has a reported factory area of more than 9,600 square meters and a workforce of over 130 employees. This indicates a production base beyond a small workshop level and suggests the company has a certain degree of organized manufacturing capacity. The employee scale also supports the view that the supplier can likely handle recurring production rather than only small ad hoc orders.

The provided data also states that the supplier is verified, which improves confidence in the existence and basic operational credibility of the factory. However, there is no detailed information regarding production lines, monthly output, machinery, internal QC team size, or internationally recognized factory certifications. Therefore, while the available data supports a medium-scale factory assessment, it does not fully confirm a large-scale or highly certified manufacturing operation.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier demonstrates medium-level company strength based on its factory area, employee count, and verified supplier status. A 9,600+㎡ facility with 130+ staff is stronger than a small-scale supplier, but the absence of detailed production capacity, audit reports, or specific factory certifications prevents it from being rated as a large-scale stable supply chain provider. The available data supports a stable mid-sized factory profile.

Final Score

16 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis

• Gold Supplier: True
• Gold Supplier duration: 4 years
• Trade Assurance: True
• Verified supplier: True
• Certification / industry labels provided:
• Response time ≤4h
• On-time delivery 92.8%

Elaboration

The supplier has been an Gold Supplier for 4 years, which indicates a certain level of platform continuity. The presence of Trade Assurance is also important because it gives buyers access to ’s transaction protection mechanism. In addition, the supplier is marked as verified, which adds credibility to the basic company and factory information.

However, the provided certification or industry labels are limited mainly to operational indicators such as response time and on-time delivery. There is no data showing additional product compliance certifications, social compliance audits, quality management certifications, or detailed factory audit documents. Therefore, the platform credibility is solid but not comprehensive.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier has the core platform credibility elements: Gold Supplier status, 4 years of membership, Trade Assurance support, and verified supplier status. These factors provide a reasonable level of buyer protection and platform trust. However, the Gold Supplier duration is moderate rather than long-term, and the certification data does not show a complete compliance system. As a result, the supplier fits the “core certifications available but not fully comprehensive” category.

Final Score

16 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis

• Orders in the past 6 months: 300+
• Transaction amount in the past 6 months: CN¥1.1M+
• Store rating: 4.4
• Number of reviews: 100+

Elaboration

The supplier has recorded more than 300 orders over the past six months, which indicates active commercial performance on the platform. A transaction amount exceeding CN¥1.1M also shows that the supplier has generated meaningful recent sales volume. This level of activity suggests that the company is not an inactive or untested supplier.

The store rating of 4.4 is acceptable but not particularly high. The review count of 100+ provides some market feedback basis, although it is not large enough to be considered extensive customer validation. Overall, the supplier shows stable business activity, but the rating level suggests that buyers should still review individual customer feedback and order history before placing large or quality-sensitive orders.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier’s 300+ orders and CN¥1.1M+ transaction volume in six months support a stable mid-level business performance score. The order and transaction data demonstrate market activity, while the 4.4 store rating prevents a high-performance score. The supplier has commercial validation, but it does not reach the top tier of high rating, high transaction volume, and extensive review count.

Final Score

16 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis

• Communication response time: ≤4h
• Full Customization capability: Insufficient Data

Elaboration

The supplier’s response time of within 4 hours is acceptable for online sourcing and indicates that communication is reasonably responsive. This can support routine inquiry handling, quotation discussion, and order coordination.

However, the provided data does not confirm whether the supplier supports Full Customization. There is also no information about design support, OEM/ODM capability, sample development speed, language support, after-sales response, or dedicated account management. Since customization capability is an important part of service evaluation, the absence of this information limits the service score.

Scoring Rationale

The response time of ≤4h is positive, but it does not meet the highest benchmark of ≤1h. More importantly, there is no confirmed data on Full Customization or broader service capability. Therefore, the supplier can be considered to have basic communication responsiveness, but the service capability cannot be rated as strong based on the available information.

Final Score

6 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis

• On-time delivery rate: 92.8%

Elaboration

The supplier’s on-time delivery rate is 92.8%, which is above the 90% threshold. This indicates a relatively reliable delivery record based on the available platform data. For buyers concerned with schedule control, this is one of the supplier’s stronger measurable indicators.

However, the data does not include average lead time, peak-season delivery stability, shipment delay causes, logistics methods, or order-size-based delivery performance. Therefore, the score is based only on the reported on-time delivery percentage.

Scoring Rationale

According to the scoring standard, an on-time delivery rate above 90% qualifies for a score of 9 to 10. Since the supplier’s rate is 92.8%, it fits the high delivery performance range. The score is strong, though not perfect, because no supporting details are provided regarding lead time consistency or delivery performance under larger orders.

Final Score

9 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis

• Store rating: 4.4
• Reviews: 100+
• Verified supplier: True
• Finished Product Inspection: Insufficient Data
• Factory Verification: Verified supplier status provided, but detailed factory verification report is Insufficient Data

Elaboration

The supplier has a store rating of 4.4 and more than 100 reviews. This provides a meaningful customer feedback base, though the rating is not at a premium level. A 4.4 rating suggests that customer satisfaction is generally acceptable, but there may be some room for improvement in quality, service, delivery, or order consistency.

The verified supplier status adds some confidence regarding supplier legitimacy. However, the provided data does not confirm Finished Product Inspection, detailed quality control procedures, product testing standards, defect rate, return rate, or third-party inspection history. For apparel buyers, especially those requiring consistent sizing, fabric quality, print quality, and finishing standards, this information gap is important.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier has some customer validation through 100+ reviews and a 4.4 rating, combined with verified supplier status. However, the rating is moderate rather than excellent, and there is insufficient data on Finished Product Inspection or detailed quality assurance systems. Therefore, the supplier fits a mid-level quality feedback profile rather than a high-confidence quality supplier.

Final Score

15 / 20

Total Score

Procurement Recommendation

Recommendation: Recommended for conditional cooperation.

Shangrao Caidu Clothing Co., Ltd. is suitable for buyers seeking apparel-related products with relatively low MOQ requirements, as the listed products show a minimum order quantity of 20 pieces. The supplier appears appropriate for small to medium-sized buyers, online retailers, promotional apparel buyers, and buyers testing fashion shirt products before scaling orders.

The main strengths are its medium-sized factory base, verified supplier status, Gold Supplier history of 4 years, Trade Assurance support, active recent transaction performance, and strong on-time delivery rate of 92.8%.

The main risks are the lack of confirmed Finished Product Inspection data, insufficient information on full customization capability, absence of detailed factory certification information, and a store rating of 4.4, which is acceptable but not high. Buyers should request samples, confirm fabric and print quality, clarify inspection procedures, and verify customization capacity before placing large or repeat orders.

Overall, the supplier has solid growth potential and reasonable commercial validation, but quality assurance details should be further confirmed before strategic or high-volume procurement.
