Common questions
The answer is many. We can source various products and services from China, from clothing to auto parts, plastic to bio-degradable materials, mobile phone chargers to industrial machinery, etc.
We have experienced consultants based in China and have worked with different industries for many years. Our team in China can conduct market research and visit the factories and suppliers regularly. We also have a vast business and relationship network in China.
Through these, we can obtain first-hand, up-to-date information, locate blue chip factories and high-quality service providers, and negotiate the best deals for our UK clients.
I need my products to meet British standards and all regulations. All our products are sourced, and upon customer request, we will provide all the required certifications and all certificates will be verified by the governing bodies.
Our sourcing pricing model does not charge for any of our sourcing time, and our profits are generated by the units we sell to you. This fosters a collaborative approach with our customers, as the service and pricing must work for both parties.
Xappee has a diverse team of packaging specialists. Our skilled designers work closely with creative copywriters, supported by account managers, digital developers, and research teams.
It all depends on your requirements, budget, and project brief. Typically, we start with an initial meeting where our teams collaborate to identify the key messages we want to convey and determine the most effective way to deliver them.
After understanding your vision, we will initiate the creative process by presenting various ideas and paths. Once you have selected the final concept, we will move on to the pre-production phase, which encompasses the creation of storyboards, scripts, soundtracks, and art direction, all to bring your vision to life.
We recognise that every project is distinctive and demands specific skills and expertise. That’s why we always match our team’s expertise with the goals and aspirations of your project.

We are committed to finding the perfect individuals for your project every time.
We have enabled numerous businesses to develop and establish their brand through professional photography and videography. Our content is tailored for digital and social media platforms.
We always start with a workshop that brings you together with our social media and creative experts. This is an excellent way for us to understand your business, your target audience, and what success looks like to you.

General Question
We specialise in providing consulting services, establishing strategic partnerships, and procuring products from various international sources, including China and Europe, for UK businesses.
Let us know any products you are interested in or would like us to source for you. If you would like us to source a product, please e-mail us at info@xappee.com with your enquiries, and we will let you know whether it is something we can help you with.
1. If yes, we will typically arrange a meeting with you to discuss your project in detail. This meeting is free of charge. We are happy to sign an NDA with you before the meeting.
2. We will then send you a proposal with a quotation, usually within a week of the initial meeting, which sets out our service framework.
3. If you are happy with the proposal, we will sign our Consultancy Service Agreement. Our work on your behalf will then start immediately.
4. We will inform you immediately if the answer is no. We will only take on projects with confidence to achieve successful results. However, we will likely point you in the right direction or put you in touch with other organisations that can help you.
It depends on the nature and level of complexity of an individual project. For example, a simple sourcing activity of whiteboards can take 2 – 4 weeks, plus another 4 weeks’ manufacture lead time. Shipping from China to the UK can be arranged by sea, air, or sea and air combined. Sea freight takes about 4 weeks from a main Chinese port to Felixstowe or Southampton.
