How we vet every supplier

PulseMarkt sources from a curated network of manufacturers, brands, and fulfilment partners — not open marketplaces. Here's exactly how a supplier gets in, stays in, and what triggers a removal.

Where products come from

PulseMarkt aggregates catalog data from vetted supplier networks (including CJ Dropshipping's operator API, Walmart Marketplace, and select brand-direct partners). Being listed on a supplier network is not enough on its own — every product a supplier submits goes through PulseMarkt's own filters before it can be listed on a store.

Why CJ appears on invoices: CJ Dropshipping is a fulfilment layer — a warehouse + logistics operator for tens of thousands of factories. The presence of "CJ" on packaging or tracking is a shipping method, not a product-quality signal. What matters is the underlying factory rating, historical defect rate, and shipping SLA — which is what we score against.

The 5 gates a supplier passes

1
Legal & identity
Registered business entity, valid tax ID, verifiable warehouse address. Individuals reselling from marketplaces are rejected.
2
Product-quality baseline
Sample orders on the top SKUs. Anything below 4.2★ average across supplier-network reviews is dropped or delisted.
3
Shipping SLA
Median delivery ≤ 12 days to EU/US destinations. Tracking numbers must be scannable within 72h of order. Miss twice → probation.
4
Returns & defect handling
Supplier accepts returns for damaged/wrong items and covers the credit under the PulseMarkt Promise. No-return suppliers are not onboarded.
5
Compliance
No counterfeits, no CPSC-recalled items, no regulated goods without documentation. Ongoing catalog scans flag violators automatically.

What removes a supplier

  • Defect / wrong-item rate above 3% over 30 days
  • Two consecutive shipping SLA misses on the same lane
  • Any counterfeit or IP violation — immediate removal
  • Refusal to honour a valid PulseMarkt Promise claim
  • Consistent 4.5★+ with clean SLAs → featured placement

What this means for you

We're not claiming every supplier is perfect — we're claiming there's an accountable process. If a product arrives damaged, wrong, or late, the PulseMarkt Promise covers you with credit + a replacement, and the supplier's score takes the hit.
