Read Chinese Characters
One of the biggest difficulties of doing business in China and purchasing products from China is the language barrier. Most western buyers don´t speak Chinese and are therefore dependent on their suppliers who may speak English. If you are a German, Italian or French national, English may already be your 2nd language; the same as for your Chinese counterpart. Verbal communication problems may be overcome, but then there is the problem of reading Chinese Characters. Hardly any Western customer can decipher Chinese writing. If you have traveled to China before, you know what I am talking about. Street signs, restaurant menus, or simple buttons on a Chinese website which Chrome doesn’t translate. This situation is very frustrating for many buyers. But now, there is good news!

Sample Collection and Consolidation Service in China
Many Importers from China face this problem: They would like to order a sample from a manufacturer in China. The sample is often free of charge. But for sending the samples overseas the manufacturer asks for a fee of US $ 50 or more to cover the express shipping costs.
As a strategic buyer however, you often order samples from various suppliers in order to check the workmanship and compare similar offers.
Quickly, several hundreds of US dollars for express fees for sample sending pile up. Not very efficient!
To address this problem we have created our sample collection and consolidation service in China back in 2001.
