Wuxi Ninecci Gloves Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Wuxi Ninecci Gloves Co., Ltd. is a China-based glove supplier located in Jiangsu, with a reported factory area of 880+ m² and 10+ staff. The company focuses on glove products including winter gloves, cycling gloves, fleece gloves, ski/riding gloves, and half-finger cycling gloves, with low MOQ options ranging from 1 pair to 10 pairs based on the listed products. Its platform credibility is supported by 2 years as an Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance availability, verified supplier status, and tags including Finished Product Inspection, Low MOQ for customization, and Minor Customization. Business performance shows 30+ orders and CN¥67.6K+ transaction value over the past six months, with a 4.7 store rating and 20+ reviews. Overall, this supplier appears suitable for small-batch buyers, trial orders, online retailers, and buyers seeking low-MOQ glove sourcing. However, its small factory scale, moderate transaction volume, and 76.5% on-time delivery rate require careful order monitoring.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Factory location: Jiangsu, China
- Factory area: 880+ m²
- Employees: 10+ staff
- Verified supplier: True

Elaboration
The supplier has a clearly stated factory footprint and workforce, but both indicators suggest a small-scale manufacturing operation. A factory size of 880+ m² and 10+ employees indicates basic production capability rather than large-scale industrial capacity. The verified supplier status provides some credibility regarding the existence and operational legitimacy of the company, but no additional data is provided on production lines, monthly output, machinery, or factory audit standards.

Scoring Rationale
The company demonstrates basic production infrastructure and verified supplier status, which supports a minimum level of operational reliability. However, the limited factory area and small staff count prevent it from being assessed as a medium or large-scale stable supplier. Because there is no disclosed production capacity or detailed factory certification beyond verification, the score remains in the small-factory range.

Final Score
11 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 2 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Certification / industry tags: Low MOQ for customization, Finished Product Inspection, Minor Customization
- Verified supplier: True

Elaboration
The supplier has several important platform credibility indicators, including Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance, and verified supplier status. The presence of Finished Product Inspection also strengthens compliance and quality visibility. However, the Gold Supplier history is relatively short at 2 years, and the provided tags indicate minor customization rather than a broader or more advanced compliance profile.

Scoring Rationale
Core trust mechanisms are present, which makes the supplier more credible than an unverified or non-Trade-Assurance seller. Still, the relatively short Gold Supplier tenure limits long-term platform credibility. The certification label set is useful but not extensive, so the supplier fits the category of having core certifications with a shorter operating record on the platform.

Final Score
15 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Orders in past 6 months: 30+
- Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥67.6K+
- Store rating: 4.7
- Reviews: 20+

Elaboration
The supplier has measurable transaction activity, with 30+ orders and CN¥67.6K+ in transaction value over the past six months. The 4.7 store rating is positive, and 20+ reviews provide some customer feedback base. However, both order volume and transaction value are moderate rather than high, suggesting that the supplier has commercial activity but not yet strong large-volume validation.

Scoring Rationale
The business data supports a stable but modest transaction profile. The supplier has enough activity to indicate market acceptance, but the volume does not demonstrate large-scale procurement performance. The rating is good, though the review count remains limited, so the score is placed in the stable mid-range rather than the high-performance tier.

Final Score
14 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis
- Response time: ≤4h
- Customization-related tags: Low MOQ for customization, Minor Customization
- Full Customization: Insufficient Data

Elaboration
A response time of ≤4 hours indicates acceptable communication efficiency, though it does not meet the strongest service benchmark of ≤1 hour. The supplier provides some customization support based on the listed tags, especially low-MOQ and minor customization. However, there is no provided evidence of Full Customization capability.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier appears responsive enough for routine sourcing communication and small customization needs. However, because only minor customization is confirmed and Full Customization is not supported by the provided data, the service capability should be considered functional but not advanced.

Final Score
7 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis
- On-time delivery rate: 76.5%

Elaboration
The supplier’s on-time delivery rate is 76.5%, which falls within the 70–79% range. This indicates that delivery reliability exists but is not strong. For buyers with strict launch schedules, seasonal sales windows, or time-sensitive replenishment needs, this metric should be treated as a key operational risk.

Scoring Rationale
According to the scoring standard, a 70–79% on-time shipment rate corresponds to 5–6 points. Since 76.5% is in the upper part of this range but still below 80%, the supplier receives the higher end of this band.

Final Score
6 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: 4.7
- Reviews: 20+
- Finished Product Inspection: Present
- Verified supplier: True

Elaboration
The store rating of 4.7 suggests generally positive customer satisfaction. The supplier also has Finished Product Inspection listed, which provides a basic quality control indicator. Verified supplier status further supports credibility. However, the review count is only 20+, which is not enough to classify the supplier as having broad or highly proven customer feedback.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has a good rating and basic quality assurance signals, particularly Finished Product Inspection. However, the relatively limited number of reviews restricts confidence in long-term consistency. The quality profile is positive but not yet strong enough for a top-tier score.

Final Score
15 / 20

Total Score

68 / 100

Procurement Recommendation

Cooperation is recommended with caution, especially for small-batch procurement, trial orders, online retail sourcing, and buyers seeking low-MOQ glove products. The supplier’s main strengths are low MOQ availability, Trade Assurance support, verified supplier status, Finished Product Inspection, and acceptable response speed. Key risks include small factory scale, limited employee base, moderate transaction volume, relatively limited review count, and a 76.5% on-time delivery rate. Buyers should start with sample orders or small trial batches, confirm lead times in writing, and use Trade Assurance for payment protection. Growth potential exists if the supplier improves delivery reliability, expands verified transaction volume, and strengthens customization capability beyond minor customization.
