About Petlland

We started in 2018 because good pet brands kept losing to their own supply chain.

Petlland is a sourcing and supply chain management company in Guangzhou. We are not a factory and not a marketplace. We are the team that sits on your side of the table: selecting product, negotiating minimums, holding quality to a written standard and landing the cargo at your door with duty paid.

Why we exist

The three sentences we heard so often that we built a company around them

“The minimum is 3,000 pieces per colour.”
Said to a founder with an audience of 40,000 people and a budget for 600 units. The product was right; the ladder was wrong.
“We shipped it, you will see the quality when it arrives.”
The most expensive sentence in this industry. Inspection after departure is not quality control; it is a claims process.
“That is FOB — duty and delivery are your side.”
Which is how a healthy margin becomes a loss somewhere between the port and the warehouse door.

How we make money — plainly

A service fee inside the unit price, quoted before you commit. We take no commission from factories, so there is no incentive to steer you to the supplier who pays the most. If we recommend a factory, it is because it holds your spec.

Milestones

Eight years, built one programme at a time

No investor story, no hockey stick. Each capability below was added because a client needed it and nobody else would own it.

2018

Founded in Guangzhou

Two people, one category — dog toys — and eleven factory audits in the first six months.

2019

Low-MOQ private label launched

We negotiated the first 100-piece branded packaging run for a European boutique brand. It is now our most requested service.

2021

In-house AQL inspection team

Brought quality control in-house after one too many third-party reports arrived after the vessel sailed.

2022

Consolidation warehouse opens

Baiyun District facility begins receiving multi-supplier cargo, with 30 days of free storage per programme.

2024

DDP fulfilment across 38 countries

Landed-cost quoting became standard, so clients could model margin before production started.

2026

320+ brands and sellers supplied

Nine categories under management, 60+ audited partner factories, and an ESG material library with certificates attached.

How the team is set up

Four functions, and you can reach all of them

Your account manager owns the outcome, but you are never blocked waiting for one person to translate. Sourcing, quality and logistics all speak to you directly.

Sourcing · 7 people

Category specialists who visit factories weekly and hold the price and MOQ conversations in Mandarin.

Account management · 5

Your single point of contact, writing in English, working GMT+8 with a same-day reply commitment.

Quality control · 6

Inspectors on the floor for first-article, inline and pre-shipment checks. They write the report you read.

Warehouse & logistics · 6

Receiving, re-cartonisation, labelling, booking and customs — the people who make DDP an actual date.

What we will not do

Meet the person who would run your account

Fifteen minutes, no deck. Bring your category and your volume and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right supply partner for it.
