Premium Global Sourcing
You request it. We source it. The supplier delivers it. JAEY COMMERCE is a sourcing desk in Johannesburg working from written briefs — not a storefront and not a catalogue.
Sourced globally. Managed personally.
What the desk does
Each service exists because a brief usually fails at one of these six points. Pick the whole sequence or the part you are missing.
You describe the item you need. We search our supplier network and open market for sources that can actually produce or supply it.
View services02A short, comparable list of candidate suppliers with the trade-offs written out — capability, lead time, minimum order and risk.
View services03We arrange and track pre-production or reference samples so you can judge the goods before you commit to a run.
View services04We turn your expectations into a written inspection brief a supplier or third-party inspector can be held to.
View services05We coordinate the movement of goods from the supplier to your delivery point and keep the paperwork trail intact.
View services06Sourcing for your own label — custom specification, packaging and finish, matched to suppliers able to produce it.

Broad consumer, commercial and packaging categories. If your product sits outside these, send the brief anyway and we will tell you honestly whether it is sourceable.
Textiles, ceramics, glassware, storage, decorative and functional homeware.
Modest and general apparel, uniforms, bags, small leather goods and trims.
Retail packaging, cartons, pouches, labels, inserts and branded print.
Furniture, tableware, linens, consumables and back-of-house equipment.
Hand tools, fixings, workshop consumables and general hardware lines.
Cables, chargers, cases, mounts and non-regulated accessory lines.
Cosmetic accessories, containers and non-medical personal care items.
Display units, signage blanks, fixtures and point-of-sale fittings.
We will not source counterfeit, illegal, sanctioned, weapons, narcotics, alcohol, tobacco, gambling, medical or haram consumable goods. The complete prohibited list is published on What We Source.
Human-led
Sourcing decisions are judgement calls: whether a factory can hold a finish, whether a lead time is realistic, whether a price is too good to be true. Those calls are made by people who read your brief.
The process
No stage commits you to buying. The first four cost you nothing but the time it takes to write the brief.
Use the quote form to describe the product, the quantity, the specification and where it needs to land. Nothing is charged and nothing is ordered at this stage.
We read the brief, ask the questions that decide whether it is sourceable, and tell you plainly if it is not something we will handle.
We work our supplier network and the open market for candidates that can meet the specification at your volume.
A short comparable list with capability, lead time, minimum order and the trade-offs written out — no pressure to proceed.
Where it makes sense we coordinate samples and write the inspection brief, so the standard is agreed before production starts.
You contract and pay on terms you have seen. The supplier ships the goods to your delivery point, and we coordinate the handover.
Why this desk
We publish no counters, no client logos and no results claims. What follows is what we can actually promise about the way we work.
There is no cart and no catalogue here. Every engagement begins with a brief and a conversation, which is why you will not find public prices on this site.
Enquiries are handled personally rather than passed around a queue. You deal with the same contact from brief to delivery coordination.
Specifications, shortlists and quality briefs are put in writing. If something is not written down, it is not agreed.
We tell you when a request is not sourceable, not viable at your volume, or outside what we will handle. That answer costs you nothing.
Illustrative only
These are written examples of how a brief moves through the desk. They are not case studies, not client work and not results claims.
Example scenario
A brief arrives with dimensions, material preference and a target landed window. We shortlist three capable suppliers, note that one cannot hold the finish at that volume, and coordinate samples from the remaining two.
Example scenario
The brief covers fabric weight, wash cycles and colour. We write the quality brief around shrinkage and colour-fastness so the supplier is quoting against a testable standard, not a photograph.
Example scenario
Artwork and structural requirements are collected first. Where the requested run is below a viable factory minimum, we say so early and set out what volume would make it work.
Example scenario
We decline. Counterfeit and infringing goods sit outside what this desk will source, and we say that at the brief stage rather than after time has been spent.
Start with a brief
A request is an enquiry, not an order. Nothing is reserved and nothing is charged.
