THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE REPORT
Research with human judgment.
Our paid service combines AI-assisted research with administrator review of each shortlist. We investigate visible product identity, check the evidence against your requirements and clearly mark what remains unknown. The free single-supplier preview is AI-researched and does not include human review.
We provide sourcing research and negotiation support. Supplier contracts, inspections, samples and purchases remain between you and the supplier.
MercuryLink is a trading name of Ultra Protection Ltd, registered in England and Wales.

Clear answers. Clear expectations.
Can I try MercuryLink for free?
Yes. Free Supplier Preview researches one supplier for your product, with company and product links and public price or MOQ details when available. Create an account and verify your email; no card is required. One free preview is available per verified account. It is AI-researched, not human-reviewed. You can upgrade the same saved photo and brief to Supplier Discovery for expanded research targeting 10 relevant suppliers, with human review. No need to fill everything in again.
What makes this more useful than a general AI search?
Your report combines image and original-maker investigation, your special requirements, direct supplier evidence and human review. It explains why suppliers fit and which claims still need confirmation.
Will I always receive 10 suppliers?
The free preview researches one supplier. Paid Supplier Discovery targets 10 relevant finalists. If fewer fit your brief, we explain why and discuss revising the requirements. We will not pad your report with unsuitable suppliers.
Are suppliers verified or audited?
We review available public evidence. This is not a factory audit, credit check or guarantee of quality. Confirm certificates, samples, identity and commercial terms before purchasing.
How long does it take?
Supplier Discovery targets one business day after confirmed payment and a complete brief. Complex requests may take longer; we keep you updated. Negotiation begins after sourcing approval and depends on supplier response times.
What if a supplier does not reply?
We record outreach and replies from approved suppliers with usable email contacts. Suppliers may decline or remain silent. The final comparison distinguishes received offers from unresolved or unanswered threads; an offer or lower price is not guaranteed.
Can I ask for corrections?
Message us inside your request if a result does not match the submitted brief. We review the concern and explain the next step. New products or materially changed requirements may require a new request.
What am I paying for?
A one-time research fee, or research plus supplier negotiation support. Product purchases, freight, samples and inspections are not included. Review our Terms for scope, cancellation and remedies.
Do I need an account to get started?
You can view the sample report and prepare a brief first. Create an account and verify your email to start the free preview—no card required. If you choose a paid upgrade, your existing brief is reused and payment is handled through Stripe.
