Sichuan Baolida Metal Pipe Fittings Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Supplier Evaluation Report

Supplier: Sichuan Baolida Metal Pipe Fittings Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Country/Region: China, Sichuan
Evaluation Basis: Provided supplier platform, transaction, service, delivery, and certification data only.

Executive Summary

Sichuan Baolida Metal Pipe Fittings Manufacturing Co., Ltd. appears to be a platform-verified Chinese supplier with strong credibility indicators, including 11 years as a Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance support, and multiple service/quality-related labels such as Finished Product Inspection, ODM service availability, Warranty availability, and Full Customization. The supplier has recorded 30+ orders and CN¥1.6M+ transaction value over the past six months, indicating active commercial performance, though the review base remains limited at 9 reviews despite a 5.0 store rating. Delivery performance is strong, with a 96.2% on-time shipment rate. However, key production-capacity data such as factory area and employee count are missing, limiting the assessment of manufacturing scale. Overall, this supplier is suitable for buyers seeking verified platform-backed sourcing with customization capability and reliable delivery, but buyers requiring confirmed large-scale production capacity should conduct further due diligence.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Score Weight: 20 points

Basis

• Factory location: Sichuan, China
• Factory area: Insufficient Data
• Number of employees: Insufficient Data
• Verified/audited supplier status: True
• Product listings provided include several greenhouse/agricultural structure-related products with MOQs ranging from 1 set to 100 square meters or above.

Elaboration

The supplier has a verified supplier status, which provides a basic level of confidence that the company has undergone some form of platform or supplier verification. The listed products suggest that the company is offering project-style or structural products with variable MOQs, including single-span, tunnel, steel/glass, and commercial garden-related greenhouse products.

However, the absence of factory area and employee count prevents a clear judgment of actual production scale, staffing depth, and capacity stability. These are critical factors when evaluating whether a supplier can support large-volume or long-term procurement programs. While verification improves credibility, it does not fully replace hard capacity indicators such as plant size, workforce, equipment base, or annual output.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier demonstrates a basic manufacturing and supply capability through verified supplier status and multiple product offerings. However, because both factory area and employee count are missing, it cannot be classified as a large-scale or clearly medium-scale stable factory based on the provided data. The score therefore reflects a supplier with basic verified capability but incomplete production-scale transparency.

Final Score

12 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Score Weight: 20 points

Basis

• Gold Supplier: True
• Gold Supplier duration: 11 years
• Trade Assurance: True
• Verification/audited supplier: True
• Certification/industry labels:
• Warranty available
• Finished product inspection
• ODM service available
• Full customization

Elaboration

This is one of the supplier’s strongest dimensions. An 11-year Gold Supplier history indicates long-term platform presence, which supports credibility from a procurement-screening perspective. Trade Assurance availability provides buyers with an additional transaction protection mechanism through the platform. The supplier also holds several operational and service-related labels, including warranty availability, finished product inspection, ODM service, and full customization.

The combination of long platform history, Trade Assurance, supplier verification, and service/quality tags forms a relatively complete platform credibility profile. Based on the provided data, there is no indication of missing core platform compliance elements.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier meets nearly all major platform credibility indicators: long-term Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance, verification, and multiple relevant labels. The 11-year duration is a particularly strong factor and supports a high credibility score. The score is not assigned as a perfect 20 only because no additional third-party factory audit report details, certification names, or compliance documents are provided beyond platform-level labels.

Final Score

19 / 20

3. Business Performance

Score Weight: 20 points

Basis

• Orders in the past 6 months: 30+
• Transaction amount in the past 6 months: CN¥1.6M+
• Store rating: 5.0
• Number of reviews: 9

Elaboration

The supplier shows active recent commercial activity, with more than 30 orders and over CN¥1.6M in transaction value within the past six months. This indicates that the supplier has ongoing market demand and has completed measurable platform transactions. The 5.0 store rating is positive and suggests customer satisfaction among reviewed buyers.

However, the number of reviews is relatively limited at 9, which weakens the statistical reliability of the rating. A perfect score based on a small review base should be interpreted cautiously. The order count and transaction value suggest stable activity, but the available data does not indicate very high-volume transaction performance.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier demonstrates a solid commercial record with meaningful six-month transaction value and order activity. The 5.0 rating supports positive buyer feedback, but the limited review count prevents classification as a highly validated, high-volume supplier. The score reflects stable mid-to-good business performance rather than top-tier market validation.

Final Score

16 / 20

4. Service Capability

Score Weight: 10 points

Basis

• Response time: ≤2 hours
• Full Customization: Available
• ODM service: Available
• Warranty available: Yes

Elaboration

The supplier’s response time of within two hours indicates acceptable communication efficiency for international procurement. Although it does not meet the strongest benchmark of one hour or less, it remains within a practical response window for sourcing inquiries, quotation clarification, and early-stage project communication.

The availability of Full Customization and ODM service indicates that the supplier can support customized requirements rather than only standard products. This is particularly relevant for buyers sourcing project-based or specification-driven products. Warranty availability further supports after-sales service capability, although the specific warranty terms are not provided.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier demonstrates good service capability through customization, ODM support, and reasonable response speed. Since the response time is ≤2 hours rather than ≤1 hour, and detailed service process information is not provided, the score is strong but not at the maximum level.

Final Score

8 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Score Weight: 10 points

Basis

• On-time shipment rate: 96.2%

Elaboration

The supplier’s on-time shipment rate of 96.2% is a strong delivery indicator. It exceeds the 90% benchmark for high delivery reliability. For procurement teams, this level of delivery performance suggests that the supplier has a relatively dependable order fulfillment process on the platform.

However, the data does not include lead-time ranges, production cycle details, peak-season capacity, or historical delay reasons. Therefore, while the on-time shipment rate is strong, buyers should still confirm delivery schedules for customized or project-based orders before placing large purchases.

Scoring Rationale

Based strictly on the provided scoring rule, an on-time shipment rate above 90% qualifies for the 9–10 point range. At 96.2%, the supplier demonstrates strong delivery reliability, supporting a near-maximum score.

Final Score

10 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Score Weight: 20 points

Basis

• Store rating: 5.0
• Number of reviews: 9
• Finished Product Inspection: Available
• Verified/audited supplier: True
• Warranty available: Yes

Elaboration

The supplier shows positive quality-related indicators. A 5.0 store rating is favorable, and the presence of Finished Product Inspection indicates that some level of product-checking process is available before shipment. Verified supplier status also supports the reliability of the company profile. Warranty availability is another positive factor for buyer protection and post-sale confidence.

The main limitation is the low number of reviews. With only 9 reviews, the 5.0 rating is positive but not yet strongly validated by a broad customer base. Additionally, the provided data does not include defect rates, inspection standards, third-party quality certificates, test reports, or customer complaint history.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier has good quality assurance indicators, including finished product inspection, warranty availability, verified supplier status, and a perfect store rating. However, the relatively small review base limits the strength of customer feedback evidence. The score therefore reflects good but not fully comprehensive quality validation.

Final Score

17 / 20
