Building materials from China. It is worth it or not?
As soon as we hear the phrase “goods from China”, some doubts are immediately covered by us. Stereotypes prevail, and for us Chinese goods are associated with low quality and even danger.
In fact, as elsewhere, in China there are high -quality goods, but there is a falsification. But, unfortunately, quality reaches our consumer very rarely because of the excessive greed of resellers. Why buy goods for $ 50 and sell it for $ 100, when you can purchase, outwardly not distinguished by low -quality goods for $ 5, and sell for the same $ 100,
However, as practice shows, in construction it is not rarely used high -quality building materials brought specifically from China. In this case, by paying all customs duties and bearing transportation costs, you can eventually save up to 30% on construction. The main thing here is to buy in bulk, for example, ordering container transportation from China.
How to purchase building materials in order not to buy something poor or dangerous?
The first point is the price.
Products made in China are much cheaper than the vacation price at our wholesale bases, since in the process of wrapping about 150 – 200% “increases”. However, if the price is more than twice lower, it is worth being doubted.
The second point is, of course, the quality certificates adopted in Russia.
The third point is an independent examination. Many Chinese manufacturers will easily allow you to purchase the selected product with retail directly from the plant, a sample that you can send for research.
Well, in the end, the option of procurement.
It is quite difficult to make such purchases on your own, at least a language barrier can arise. However, there are companies of intermediaries, thanks to which you can easily purchase any selected goods. As a rule, these intermediaries work only with trusted suppliers, and the percentage that they take for their work will be almost imperceptible to you.
