Typical assignments

01

You already buy the product

We can ask the current seller for an updated quotation, discuss volume terms, look for alternatives and record direct contacts. A lower price is not guaranteed.

02

You are planning a first order

We collect available offers around your specifications, volume and acceptable alternatives. Without a target price, the report shows an indicative range on the visit date.

03

You are extending a product line

We search for another colour, size, print, seasonal or related model. Marketplace listing rules remain the client’s responsibility.

04

You have a large list

Items are divided into mandatory, priority and optional groups. The route follows category location and available field time.

  • Priorities for a large list

How field research works

01 · Clarify the brief

Define the exact product, acceptable alternatives, volume and priorities.

02 · Plan the route

Select the relevant market and sequence based on product categories.

03 · Work on site

Search, request quotations, conduct agreed discussions and collect contacts.

04 · Prepare the report

Deliver options, differences, terms, risks and direct seller contacts.

Report structure

A structured report that does not hide a negative result

Seller statements are separated from the specialist’s observations. Stock and prices are recorded for the visit date and must be reconfirmed before payment.

  • Visit date and agreed assignment
  • Markets and pavilions actually visited
  • Seller contacts and pavilion number
  • Product photographs where permitted
  • Price and the volume quoted
  • Minimum quantity, colours, sizes and packaging
  • Availability on the visit date and replenishment terms
  • Negotiation result and differences from the brief
  • Exact matches and closest alternatives
  • Risks and points requiring further negotiation

Two fieldwork formats

RUB 8,000

One focused product search

Focused research for one product or an alternative seller, agreed negotiations, direct contacts and a presentation report.

RUB 25,000

Field day for a product list

One specialist field day based on an agreed and prioritised product list.

  • Additional field days are billed separately
  • Visiting all three markets in one day is not guaranteed
  • The number of products found is not guaranteed
  • Additional expenses require prior approval

Scope

What is not included

We search for products, collect offers, conduct agreed negotiations and provide direct contacts. The client decides whether to purchase and how to verify the seller.

  • Purchasing goods or accepting seller payments
  • Delivery, storage, packing or warehouse operations
  • Batch acceptance or quality inspection
  • Laboratory testing or composition verification
  • Certification or labelling
  • Legal or financial seller audit
  • Authenticity verification
  • Guaranteed stock, price or transaction

Limitations and realistic expectations

01

Seller statements are not independently verified facts

02

Availability is recorded only on the visit date

03

Price and terms must be reconfirmed before payment

04

An exact match may not be found within the agreed time

05

The route depends on category and seller location

China

When the task calls for a factory rather than a seller

Moscow markets are useful for fast comparison of ready-made stock. For proprietary construction, repeatable production or deeper customisation, Papa China can run a separate factory sourcing project in China.

Moscow market sourcing questions

Can you guarantee a lower price?

No. Fieldwork can produce more information and comparable offers, but the outcome depends on the product, volume, stock and seller position.

Will you visit all three markets in one day?

Not necessarily. The route depends on category locations, seller positions and available working time.

What happens when no exact match is found?

The report states this clearly and presents the closest options with recorded differences.

Can you speak with my current seller?

Yes, if you provide the seller details, location and an agreed list of questions.

Do you purchase and deliver goods?

No. Purchasing, seller payments, delivery and batch inspection are outside this service.
