Greetings!
This week's survey

(These survey questions are sent in by our readers. Please spend a minute to give your answer to this week's survey as one or possibly more of your industry peers thinks this question is important and wishes to see your point of view as well as others in the industry.)

Last Week's Survey

Have you had any success in importing products directly and bypassing local suppliers?
 
  • Yes, Imported digital print materials directly from USA about a 1/3 of the cost here and because the materials were made in the USA we are able to avoid some Taxes because of the free trade agreement.
  • Yes we have a number of deals directly with Chinese mainland companies. One,unfortunately, proved costly due to a false website but all others with larger orders,have produced excellent results, far cheaper and prompt delivery to our door with no customs charges.However it requires some time sourcing the required products and checking credentials.Will continue to import.
  • It's not a bed of roses. Yes, the imports are cheap, but you have to pay up front, get the payment cleared, then some of the stock you ordered has been sold to someone else, and you have to take something else you didn't really need. The delivery from the airport can be hugely expensive, and if the new rules come in for GST payments due on under $1000 order, it will also cut into the savings made. Then there is the language barrier - some of the emails are incomprehensible, let alone a phone conversation. A colleague had a whole container of the wrong coloured item, and the supplier didn't give a damn. If there are any product failures, you just have to write it off.
    A local supplier who has good prices and is reliable with correct stock, shipping times, and refunds faulty stock is my choice
  • No, too many problems. 
  • We have had such good success importing products/parts that we no longer rely on local "authorized" supply chains. If we order before 3pm friday in china its here by 10.30am monday, Without fail! The freight cost about $20-$40.00 more than local but the money saved makes up for it. Its quicker than ordering stock from melbourne.
  • Yes - new printer parts direct from Europe.
  • Yes, We import things all the time, A business is about making money and if we can save on the same items we can buy here, why wouldnt we.
  • Yes, All went well.
  • A good relationship is better then savings a few bucks by bypassing them. 
  • Sure thing! I purchase eco solvent ink from a supplier in China, direct payment with Paypal, takes approx 10 minutes, 4x1 litre of CMYK $230.00 US Dollars,even less if I buy 8 litres at a time, delivered to my doorstep in 5 working days, same product here $880.00.
  • Flags from China have been very reliable and delivered in the same time, if not quicker than locally. We had a problem with a pole and some stitching on one flag, the new pole was in the post the next day FOC and we repaired the stitching locally and received a credit on the next invoice.
  • Absolutely!! If I can buy it in from the USA via a store, pay the outrageous postage and still save 30% why not. Local suppliers in in Australia need to putting pressure on wholesalers.
  • I have been importing and bypassing a couple of suppliers with good success, but you need to know who you are dealing with to make sure that its not a knock off product so dealing with a company that is reputable is definately a priority. Dealing with China can be a huge minefield.
  • yes i normally get a printer parts and Ink refill from overseas and they are much cheaper. Roland sold one encoder strip for my SC-500 Printer for $550 without warranty and installation while i can get exactly the same product from overseas for Less than $100 dollars with warranty.
  • Yes Mabuzi has imported t-shirts directly from Bangladesh, India and China.
  • Yes We import all our vinyl and ink. We have not had any issues but it is important that the suppliers fully understand your needs and quality requirements
