Questions regarding the delivery time for imported valves~~~

Because basically most of it are gimmicks

Imported valves can cost one or two million – what makes them so expensive? What matters is that the processing techniques and requirements of foreigners are different! Back home, you can also produce it at this price ； You think the delivery time refers to domestic delivery only; the processing procedures and techniques are not standard, and there is even cutting corners ； You want to do things well and pick up the castings, but in China, often the castings are of poor quality, the processing cannot keep up, and the accessories are not standard. The pressing and assembly were done carelessly ； The result of merchants focusing on high profits. But now it has become mature; many large companies purchase from small and medium-sized enterprises! Small businesses cut corners; it’s not apparent from the outside, so they just make do... that’s the current situation! ! ! ! !

Time is really frustrating – the delivery timeline for Trump’s valves produced in the United States has been delayed by another 1/5, and there are issues with each batch: wrong products are sent, and the nameplates don’t match the valves, which is extremely annoying. Germans work on an individual basis; once they take a break, their colleagues are unaware of any progress on their tasks, and they won’t give you their personal contact information. You can only wait until they return to work. Switzerland is even better – if you can work full days for three days a week, your boss will be overjoyed

There are many procedures involved; it takes 2 to 3 weeks just to enter the order into the system, and by that time, the valves have probably already been manufactured in China if things go quickly. Production is all carried out according to a standard schedule, and moreover, the workload for foreigners varies. Currently, the lead times for products from major domestic brands have also increased.

It’s not an insult; it’s really because many users in China are cheap and disrespectful. The prices of domestic products force local users to cut costs at all costs, resulting in the worse quality products driving out the better ones. Fortunately, this phenomenon is much better now than before. Many of our clients are growing together with us, sharing information with one another – such as which companies offer reliable surface treatment or which ones produce castings of good quality. Even if the price is higher, we are willing to use products supplied by better subcontractors; as a result, our management costs related to these subcontractors have decreased.

That’s how the domestic market works: even good quality products may not sell well, as people consider expensive items to be too costly. People are mainly used to cheap options; as long as something works, that’s enough for them. .

Hahaha, it’s really as you said – if foreigners are asked to make changes, it can take ten or eight days, which is normal; for Chinese people, it can be resolved with just one phone call. As for Germany and Switzerland, there are so many holidays there. . . . Why can’t we Chinese, despite working so hard, beat the foreigners? . . .

When I visited GROB last week, their staff said that for imported machine tools, the owner can get a delivery time of up to 1 year, or even more than that, while for domestically produced machine tools the delivery time is only 6 months to 8 months. Moreover, this delivery time is used as a criterion for evaluation – isn’t that unfair? With such a short time, will the manufacturer have enough time to carefully work on the manufacturing process?
