What you save
We don't publish a percentage, because it depends on the product and the volume. Here is where the savings come from.
Each layer between the factory and you adds its own margin. Buying at the factory gate removes them.
Fewer warehouse touches means less damage, less shrinkage and fewer re-deliveries.
Goods move from factory to site instead of sitting in an importer's or dealer's stock.
You approve samples from the actual factory, so what arrives matches what you approved.
One team, one quote format and one tracking thread instead of a dozen supplier accounts.
Mexico vs. overseas
A qualitative comparison for a typical US jobsite. Your quote shows the real numbers for your products and route.
| Factor | Mexico (nearshore) | Overseas |
|---|---|---|
| Transit to a US jobsite | Days by truck or rail | Weeks by ocean, plus port and drayage |
| Duty exposure | Minimal or zero for USMCA-qualifying goods | Depends on origin; some products carry additional duties |
| Time zone | Same or within a couple of hours | Often 12+ hours apart |
| Factory visits | A short flight | A long-haul trip |
| Reorders | Fast; order closer to need | Long lead times; order far ahead |
| Safety stock | Smaller buffers | Larger buffers to cover the pipeline |
Questions
No. We consolidate several products and factories into shared loads where we can. Minimums depend on the factory and the product; we tell you in the quote.
White Lion Procurement provides customs brokerage and prepares the documentation, including USMCA origin paperwork when a product qualifies.
We source to the codes, standards and listings your project specifies (for example UL listing for electrical products in US installs) and confirm them per RFQ with test reports and listings in the submittal package.
Mexico and Latin America first. White Lion also sources from India, Vietnam, China and Hong Kong. When Asia is the better source for a product we say so, and run it through the same QC and logistics.
Yes. We can hold goods at a 3PL warehouse and release them to site by phase, floor or building.
Drawings, a takeoff, a spec sheet or a rough list of quantities — any of it is enough to start. We sign an NDA before detailed project discussion and reply with questions, sourcing options and a delivery plan.
