Importing from China – Preparing China Factory Visits – Part One
If you are a frequent importer from China or you are thinking about importing from China, there are many reasons accounting why you should visit Chinese factories and the following four are the most likely ones.
1. Evaluation
...If you are a frequent importer from China or you are thinking about importing from China, there are many reasons accounting why you should visit Chinese factories and the following four are the most likely ones.
1. Evaluation
Visiting new factories gives you chance to gather information for detailed evaluation on factories you had contacted via Guangzhou trade fairs or some online platforms like alibaba, globalsource, etc.
Of course, it is vital to spend time in person evaluating whether the factory can comply with your manufacturing requirements.
2. Discussing about Orders
If you want to discuss the details about placing order and the manufacturing process, then you would most likely to visit the factory. A wise importer would place a small trial order before placing large order. They would never give large order to a factory they never evaluate before or have 3rdparty fully evaluated it. It is better to place a small trial order after evaluation to see whether things go on the right track.
3. Quality or Delivery Time Problem
If there is quality problem or problem concerning delivery time and you want to know what cause it, then paying a visit to the factory would help you know better about it. Going to the factory in person can help you know whether the problems can be solved before it costs a lot of profit or time.
Usually the explanations given by the sales representatives of the factory is not the full story, you might have to dig deeper into it and get these problems solved in a short time. Bringing an experienced Guangzhou interpreter with you is a great option as you might want to talk to the technicians in the factory. Usually they are with related background and might know the best way to solve the problems if everything is addressed clearly.
4. Negotiation for the New Large Order
If you are going to place new large orders, usually there is more room for bargaining as factories like large orders for the following reasons. First, they can enjoy bulk prices when buying raw materials and components. Second, it is much easier in production as a long production run means less changes in production line. Also, tooling costs can be spread over the larger quantities.
Usually, it is very hard to negotiate prices and terms for small order quantity because of increasing costs for raw materials and components. However, for large quantity order, it is a better opportunity going to the factory and negotiate better terms and pricing.
Hidden Risks Shipping by UPS from China
I never thought the same thing which I’ve heard some rumors about years ago would happen to me.
I’ve been receiving calls everyday from someone who claimed to be UPS and was told that I had to pay for shipping fees of about 1600 USD coz the recipient refused to pay for it.
...I never thought the same thing which I’ve heard some rumors about years ago would happen to me.
I’ve been receiving calls everyday from someone who claimed to be UPS and was told that I had to pay for shipping fees of about 1600 USD coz the recipient refused to pay for it.
Six months ago, one of my clients from the United States ordered about 2,000 usd handbags from Guangzhou handbags wholesale markets. When the handbags were ready I shipped by UPS to him with the UPS account he provided and the shipping fee would be paid upon arrival. However, as told by “UPS”, since the recipient didn’t pay for the shipping fee, the shipper has to be responsible for it, so “UPS” has been chasing me like crazy for the shipping fee unpaid after almost half a year.
My client is such a nice, kind person that I trust him so much! To save his inconvenience, instead of asking him to arrange UPS picking up in his company name, I arranged goods picking up with UPS in our company name, and here the trouble came…
…
So I decided the best way is to take it in a delightful way when UPS chased me again in the phone for the shipping fee,
“It must be telephone SCAM! ”
It must be SCAM.
…
My ignorance amused me again.

We have China unicom AND China Mobile,plus China telecom

Most customers from Synotrip contact me whether to be their tour guide and interpreter during the new year .I was born in Guangzhou ,my hometown is Guangzhou, I know the culture of Guangzhou and Guangdong the best, that's why so many clients choose me to their interpreter.
One of clients contact me from Synotrip, now we become friends. He is obsess with chinese martial art and Bruce Lee, so he decide to come to China to follow the step of martial idol.
He ask me to plan a “discovery of martial art” trip for him. No doubt that Foshan, which is renowned for its martial art form, is the best place to him. In fact, the city of Foshan can be called the birth place and home town of this particular martial art form. The notable celebrity are Ip Man, Bruce Lee, and Wang Fei Hong who is a legendary martial art master and doctor and seldom foreigner know him.
We plan to visit Ip Man memory hall in Ancestral Temple first, after that, go to Bruce Lee ancestor house. Actually, we can go Ancestral Temple by metro from Guangzhou. There is a Guangfo line connected Guangzhou and Foshan, which it is more convenience for the people of two city. But considering the distance from Guangzhou East to Foshan, tight schedule, and the place of Bruce Lee ancestor house is a remote village hard to get there by public transportation, we decided to rent a car for traveling.
My friend arrived at about 9:30 am at Guangzhou East station,and after picking him up we headed to Ancestral Temple. The Foshan Ancestral Temple is commonly called Zumiao. It is a Daoist temple, museum, and exhibition center. The architecture, decor and articles on view in Foshan Ancestral Temple are remarkably refined, and are part of the unique historical heritage of Foshan.
Because my friend is a martial art fans, so we directly to the Ip Man memory hall.Ip man, a man dedicated to a Wing Chun, is a famous Chinese martial art master, had been a master of Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee learn Wing Chun and develop it in his Jeet Kune Do. In the museum, you can see a likeness of Ip Man, martial arts training equipment, and a plaque with information about him.
There is another memory hall for famous legendary martial artist and doctor named Wang Fei Hong. In this place,we also see a chinese traditional customs performance ---lion dance.
We are so deep addicted to enjoying the time in the Ip Man hall and lion dance without noticing that it comes to the afternoon. We need to head to next place - Bruce Lee Ancestor House, which it take one hour to arrive from temple.
Bruce Lee who is considered by many as the most influential martial artist of the 20th century, and an important cultural icon. He used Wing Chun, as his base, learned from the influences of other martial arts, and later created his own martial art philosophy — Jeet Kune Do.
The Bruce Lee Ancestral House located in Jun'an Town is another site for Bruce Lee fans to visit.Built by his grandfather, Lee came back to the house once and lived in the house for only a few days. Even though we only just saw the furniture and the introduction of him and his family, we still felt exciting stand a place which Bruce had been lived.
We spent a great day to feel the martial art culture and gorgeous historical building in Foshan. My friend is pretty good impressed and said that he must would share this experience to his martial art friend when he go back to UK.
