Questions about the delivery time and price of imported valves~~~
Thread Content
What are the steps required for a valve to go from receiving an order in the factory to being shipped out? Why does the delivery time for imported goods take 10 months to a year? Which stage is the slow one? Why can an imported valve cost one or two million? What makes it so expensive?
Damn, what a huge valve – does it cost one or two million to dig it out? . . The foreigners’ sticks are square-shaped, and they’re not as white as ours
Materials, sealing grade, pressure rating; properties such as high-pressure resistance, high-temperature resistance, and erosion resistance. Even the control precision involves technical expertise, such as in oxygen control valves. Let me tell you, ordinary resistors and capacitors in China are all imported! Domestic products are unstable; once the quality improves, their price can’t be compared!
1. In many factories abroad (in Europe and the United States), products are not manufactured in advance ready for sale; instead, production is initiated only after orders are received. Sometimes, similar products are accumulated until a certain quantity is reached before centralized production begins ； 2. Scarcity marketing: the longer it takes to get the product, the more premium it seems to be, allowing for a higher price ； 3. I won’t talk about the issue of traitors.
Production is organized according to orders, and labor laws prohibit arbitrary overtime; the working hours are significantly longer than those in China. The production process is strict, and no arbitrary adjustments are allowed. Prices are influenced by several factors: high labor costs lead to higher market prices, as well as differences in technical complexity. . . .
It’s the same as the domestic process, but the production cycle is generally longer than in China; time for transportation and customs clearance also needs to be taken into account.
The high price is due to the fact that it is not very effective when used in certain special environments; the price has been inflated, but in reality it isn’t that expensive. Once domestic valves can replace it, the price will drop
I would like to ask, for a valve, from the time the order is placed for production until it leaves the factory, which step takes the longest? Other than deliberately not doing it:D
I think the same way – domestic production isn’t good enough at the moment; once it improves, products from abroad will naturally enter the market. But then again, we still have to wait until domestic valve production gets better~~~
Yes, just for shipping and customs alone, it takes over 2 months~~~
