Buying from China: usual feedbacks
“Usually, delivery risks are not communicated until too late”
“Unable to see the real situation. I have to rely only on my supplier’s information.”
“Poor quality is usually found after arrival. Even worst, we are unable to prove or to identify whether the problem is coming from supplier or transport”
“Hard to negotiate anything. Unable to open higher level business discussion with my supplier’s contact”
“I cannot ensure the quality improvement plan is really in place, although they said YES in all meetings”
“We are buying everywhere from China, and delivery cost is difficult to control”
“I see from exhibitions, my supplier has better products, but they don’t inform me”
