Chinese products are traditionally perceived as "poor quality"; however the same pe ple who condemn them do not realize that approximately 90% ofthe products they use are made wholly or partly in China Seen from this point of view, it is a myth that the products are poor quality. Rather, it depends on the shop management to ensure that products purchased from China are of the quality that corresponds to what you pay for them.
China is a huge country and as everywhere, there are good conpanies and bad companies, honest people and people with bad intentions. What matters is to pick and choose the companies and the people you will work to eliminate any possibility of fraud. The downside is that logistically a product cannot be returned, and it is very difficult to get a refund of money, in the case of a fraud. The appropriate search and selection of a supplier, so as factory audits, ensure that this risk is minimal or the same as it would take by negotiating with a company in Europe or USA.
We have to consider that China is at 15,000 Kilometers from Guatemala. All production and import have estimated time no less than two months, depending on the product type and volume.To enjoy the benefits of importing from China, you should consider that you have to anticipate the needs in good time.
In China the limitation of what you can and cannot do is almost non-existent. Because China is the world factory, there is great ease of making molds, colors, textures, designs, etc so practically there are no limits on what you can do.
We must take into consideration that the transportation charges (freight, internment, and customs), can be quite high for small purchases, but for purchases of larger size, such expenses are accessible. To import directly from China requires a certain minimum volume in both money and space, so that the import is profitable.
