How does sourcing on Lalaaji work, from request to delivery?

Sourcing on Lalaaji runs in four steps. First, a buyer submits a Request for Quotation describing the product, quantity, and specifications. Second, verified manufacturers that match those requirements send competitive bids, so the buyer compares real offers on price, lead time, and capability rather than cold-emailing factories. Third, the buyer orders samples and approves quality, fit, and materials before committing to bulk production. Fourth, production runs against tracked milestones, and payment protection releases funds to the factory only once the delivered order matches what was agreed. Every manufacturer is vetted through identity and business verification before they can bid, and every buyer passes a KYC check. This is the difference from an open marketplace where anyone can list: on Lalaaji the matching happens between verified parties, and the money is protected end to end. Most buyers move from RFQ to approved sample in days, not weeks.
