Xiamen First Stone Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Xiamen First Stone Co., Ltd. is a China-based stone, marble, glass, and mosaic product supplier located in Fujian, with a reported factory area of 2,300+ sqm and 30+ staff. The company presents itself as a verified supplier and has strong platform credibility, including 17 years as a Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance support, and service tags such as project solutions, on-site installation, finished product inspection, and full customization. Its recent business performance shows 50+ orders and CN¥1.6M+ transaction value over the past six months, supported by a 4.8 store rating, although the review base is relatively limited at 10+ reviews. The supplier appears suitable for buyers seeking decorative stone, marble, glass, and mosaic products with customization options and reliable delivery performance. It is better positioned for small-to-medium procurement programs, project-based sourcing, and customized decorative material orders rather than very large-scale industrial procurement requiring extensive capacity documentation.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Factory location: Fujian, China
- Factory area: 2,300+ sqm
- Employees: 30+ staff
- Verified supplier: True

Elaboration
The supplier has a physical factory presence with a moderate production footprint and a relatively small workforce. A factory area of 2,300+ sqm and 30+ employees indicates basic manufacturing and order fulfillment capability, but the data does not support classification as a large-scale production enterprise. The verified supplier status provides some additional confidence regarding operational existence and supplier legitimacy.

Scoring Rationale
The company demonstrates foundational production capacity and verified supplier status, but the scale remains limited compared with larger manufacturing operations. There is no additional data on annual capacity, production lines, machinery, factory audit reports, or formal factory certifications beyond the verified supplier indicator. Therefore, the score reflects a small-to-medium supplier with basic stability rather than a large-scale supply chain partner.

Final Score
12 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 17 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Certification / industry tags: Project solutions, On-site installation, Finished product inspection, Full customization

Elaboration
The supplier has a strong platform history, with 17 years as a Gold Supplier. Trade Assurance support improves transaction protection and platform-level procurement confidence. The listed service and compliance-related tags also suggest a relatively complete profile, especially with finished product inspection and customization-related capabilities.

Scoring Rationale
A 17-year Gold Supplier record is a strong credibility signal on the platform. Combined with Trade Assurance and multiple relevant service tags, the supplier has a well-established platform compliance profile. However, the provided data does not include independent third-party certificates, ISO certification, product test reports, or named factory audit standards, so the score is high but not perfect.

Final Score
19 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Orders in past six months: 50+
- Transaction value in past six months: CN¥1.6M+
- Store rating: 4.8
- Reviews: 10+

Elaboration
The supplier shows measurable recent commercial activity, with more than 50 orders and over CN¥1.6M in transaction value during the last six months. This indicates active market demand and a proven transaction record. The 4.8 rating is positive, but the review count of 10+ is relatively small, limiting the depth of customer validation.

Scoring Rationale
The order volume and transaction value suggest stable medium-level business performance rather than low activity. The strong store rating supports buyer satisfaction, but the limited number of reviews reduces the reliability of the rating as a broad customer feedback indicator. The score reflects solid but not top-tier commercial validation.

Final Score
16 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis
- Response time: ≤2h
- Full customization: Listed in certification / industry tags

Elaboration
The supplier reports a response time within two hours, which indicates acceptable communication efficiency for international sourcing. The presence of a full customization tag is relevant for buyers requiring tailored stone, marble, glass, or mosaic products. However, the data does not provide details on design support, sampling lead time, engineering capability, or multilingual sales support.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has good service indicators, particularly customization capability and relatively fast response. Since the response time is not within one hour, it does not meet the highest service benchmark. The lack of further service-process data also prevents a perfect score.

Final Score
8 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis
- On-time shipment rate: 100.0%

Elaboration
The supplier reports a 100.0% on-time shipment rate, which is a strong delivery performance indicator. This suggests that, based on available platform data, the supplier has fulfilled shipment schedules reliably.

Scoring Rationale
According to the scoring standard, an on-time shipment rate above 90% qualifies for the highest scoring range. Since the reported figure is 100.0%, the supplier receives a full score in this dimension. No additional delivery details, such as average lead time or logistics coverage, are provided.

Final Score
10 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: 4.8
- Reviews: 10+
- Finished product inspection: Listed
- Verified supplier: True

Elaboration
The supplier has a favorable store rating of 4.8 and includes finished product inspection among its listed service tags. Verified supplier status also adds a basic level of quality-system credibility. However, the customer feedback sample is relatively limited at 10+ reviews, and the data does not include defect rates, inspection reports, product certifications, or detailed customer complaint records.

Scoring Rationale
The quality profile is positive, supported by a high rating and finished product inspection capability. However, the limited review count restricts confidence in the consistency of customer satisfaction across a wider buyer base. The score therefore reflects good basic quality assurance but not enough evidence for a top-tier quality rating.

Final Score
16 / 20

Total Score

81 / 100

• Company Strength: 12 / 20
• Platform & Compliance Credibility: 19 / 20
• Business Performance: 16 / 20
• Service Capability: 8 / 10
• Delivery Performance: 10 / 10
• Quality & Customer Feedback: 16 / 20

Procurement Recommendation

Cooperation is recommended with controlled order sizing and standard supplier risk management. Xiamen First Stone Co., Ltd. is suitable for buyers sourcing decorative stone, marble, glass, ceramic-glass, and mosaic products, especially those requiring customization, project solutions, and reliable shipment performance.

The supplier is most appropriate for small-to-medium importers, project contractors, interior decoration material buyers, and distributors seeking flexible product options rather than buyers requiring large-scale production capacity with extensive factory certification documentation.

Main risks include limited disclosed production scale, relatively small employee count, limited review volume, and insufficient data on formal quality certifications, production capacity, inspection procedures, and factory audit standards. Its growth potential is supported by long platform history, Trade Assurance, 100% on-time shipment rate, customization capability, and recent transaction activity. For initial procurement, a sample order or moderate trial order is advisable before scaling to larger-volume purchasing.
