Bring Your Own Supplier: SortedPac's Seamless QC, Consolidation, and NZD Payments

Why Bringing Your Own Supplier to SortedPac Is a Smart Move (and Easier Than You Think)

When it comes to sourcing products from overseas, New Zealand businesses often face a familiar dilemma: stick with trusted suppliers but deal with complex logistics, or switch to a new supplier that offers consolidated services but risk disrupting established relationships. What if there was a third option?

At SortedPac, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between supplier loyalty and operational efficiency. That's why we've designed our services to work seamlessly with your existing suppliers, offering professional quality control, smart consolidation, and the convenience of paying in NZD—all while keeping your trusted partnerships intact.

How Bringing Your Own Supplier Works

Our "Bring Your Own Supplier" model is straightforward. You continue working with the suppliers you trust, and we handle everything else. Here's how it works:

Step 1: Connect Your Supplier

Simply introduce us to your existing supplier or provide their contact details. We'll establish communication and coordinate directly with them for your orders.

Step 2: Professional Quality Control

Before your products leave the factory, our partenrship with SGS ensures thorough inspections according to your specifications. We catch issues before they are loaded for shipping.

Step 3: Smart Consolidation

We collect your orders from multiple suppliers and consolidate them at our facility, reducing shipping costs and simplifying logistics.

Step 4: Single NZD Payment

Instead of managing multiple international payments, you pay us once in New Zealand dollars. We handle all supplier payments on your behalf.

The Benefits of Keeping Your Trusted Suppliers

SortedPac's PET Bottle Supplier

Established Relationships Matter

Your current suppliers understand your product requirements, quality standards, and business rhythm. These relationships have been built over time and represent significant value.

Product Knowledge and Consistency

Suppliers you've worked with know exactly what you need. They understand your specifications, preferred materials, and quality expectations, reducing the risk of miscommunication or product variations.

Negotiated Terms and Pricing

You've likely negotiated favorable terms with your current suppliers. Why abandon those benefits to start fresh with someone new?

But here’s the advantage of working with SortedPac:

You can actually combine your existing payment terms from your supplier with SortedPac’s own flexible payment schedules. For example, imagine your supplier already gives you 30 days to pay, and SortedPac offers its own 30-day payment terms on top—that’s a potential 60 days interest-free. It’s like getting a built-in cash flow lifeline, with no extra cost.

Reduced Risk

Working with proven suppliers minimizes the risk of quality issues, delays, or other problems that can arise when switching to unfamiliar partners.

Why SortedPac's QC Makes the Difference

Quality control is where many import operations fall short. Without proper inspection, small issues can become major problems once products reach New Zealand. Our comprehensive QC via SGS is called:

Final Random Inspections (AQL II 0/2.5/4.0)

Before shipment, we commissioned SGS to conduct detailed  Final Random Inspections (AQL II 0/2.5/4.0) of finished products, checking quality, specifications, and packaging.

Conducted when 100 per cent of your goods are produced and at least 80 per cent are packed and ready for dispatch, final random inspections are a range of visual tests that cover:

• Quality (appearance, performance, and workmanship)

• Quantity

• Packaging

• Labeling

• Shipping marks to achieve regulatory compliance (for example bar code checks)

• Transportation

• Drop checks

Detailed Reporting

You receive comprehensive reports with photos and recommendations, giving you complete visibility into your product quality.

Consolidation That Actually Saves Money

Shipping multiple small orders separately is expensive and inefficient. Our consolidation service transforms your logistics:

Reduced Shipping Costs

By combining orders from multiple suppliers, you benefit from better freight rates and reduced per-unit shipping costs.

Simplified Customs Clearance

One shipment means one customs declaration, reducing paperwork and potential delays.

Better Inventory Management

Receive all your products in one coordinated delivery, making inventory planning and management much simpler.

Flexible Timing

We can hold products from fast suppliers while waiting for slower ones, ensuring everything arrives together when you need it.

The NZD Payment Advantage

Managing multiple international payments is complex and costly. Our single NZD payment system offers:

Simplified Cash Flow Management

One payment in your home currency makes budgeting and cash flow planning straightforward.

Reduced Foreign Exchange Risk

We handle currency conversions and fluctuations, protecting you from unexpected exchange rate changes.

Lower Transaction Fees

Instead of multiple international transfers, you make one local payment, reducing banking fees.

Clearer Cost Structure

With all costs included in one transparent NZD quote, you know exactly what you're paying upfront.
