How do you think the Chinese goods？is it  worthwhile to buy or not?What is the impression of the Chinese goods in the hearts of everyone?

If i bought a Chinese made item, would be from an Australian Seller, at least then problems can be solved easier.

Most items are made in China these days, but so are the carp items, safer to buy in Australia

I am chinese,an Aussie to be.living overseas for last 20 years. wish my view is in neutral.

Chinese products dominating world market. Talking about my tools business, in Bunnings,Masters, more than 90% are made in China, but either in the name of world leading brands, or Australian brands(many used be or still are australian manufacturers). Problem is not chinese products, but to whom you are dealing.

Sourcing is not a easy job. Used be vender of USA, UK leading brands for their OEM ordes for last 20 years. only recent years had contact with australian big groups buyers. accompany with them to visit my contacts of factories who supplying to US,UK,Europe. But orders did not come to me. orders went to 2nd class factories in China.

Australian are very conservative, but don't realize the world has changed. If you read the backside of packing of the world leading brands, or Australian local brands, beside of the original address of the company, you can find somewhere very small letters Made in China, although they may print Assembled in USA, Printed in USA( coutries of their origin.

Business very tricky. supplying to USA manufacturer screwdriver blade(shaft), but handle and assembled in USA. On blade there is no place to print or emboss Made in , but handle print with Made in USA.  so this is 100% legal which they print Made in USA on handle, and as a customer like you, do you know this big part of product was made in China?

Things I have bought from China have always been on the presumption that it wouldn't be up to standard.

I have always bought singlets from a "famous"  Aussie based company.

The where thick and warm,(ideal to wear under a shirt in cold weather) and to get the right length you had to get them at least two sizes bigger.

Now they have shifted operations to China they are half the thickness and you need to get a size that's four sizes bigger then your size to get the correct length,but they are way to big.

When I Emailed them they said that the way they where going to make them from now on.

Now they wonder why people aren't buying their products,?:|

Obviously no quality control and none of the ones in charge actually wear their singlets.

So I decided to buy some singlets from Chinese sellers to see the difference and their quality is even worse,:O

I've stopped buying them and just hope that my current ones last long enough.

I now go to Op shops to see whether I can buy decent second hand ones and have managed to buy a few,(even one that was marked as seconds but it was the right size and length),:O

I buy a bit of what I sell from China.

But I spend  lot of time and money sourcing quality manufacturers and products.

Sometimes it is Months of work finding testing and ensuring the quality and workmanship is good enough.

I have a Chinese/ Australian Ex-pat agent over there as well who does a bit of work for me, checking the products and Manufacturers reputation out for me.

I have bought and been given samples that are rubbish and just go in the bin. I WILL not sell something I would not use myself.

A lot of what is made there is pretty poor or worse quality to total rubbish. But there is a bit that is very good. I often pay a bit more for the better quality product.

People should remember. If you pay Peanuts you have probably got something made by monkeys on a Friday, no matter where it comes from.

In most cases you do get what you pay for.

If you buy direct from China and it is crap, it will often cost you more than the original purchase price to return it and get a refund. (if you can ever get it at all) So basically you do your money. And wast a lot of time.

If you get it from a Australian seller.

1/ You get it much faster. Almost always. Aus Post let us all down sometime. As do some sellers.

2/ Much easier to get a refund if you are not happy.

3/ In most cases you get a better and faster response to any questions.

4/ The list goes on.

In almost all cases I will buy things I dont sell from an Australian seller just for those reasons.

I bought some supposed VERY HQ Headphones with mic from HK. They lasted under 2 Months, the mic stopped working. Not worth sending back, so did my money. About $25 from memory.

Ended up paying  bit more buying from an Aussie, over 2 years on still working like a dream. Say no more.:-)

All this of of course JIMH.

As a casual buyer I have bought a few clothing items from Asia and found them to be top quality with fast postage.    I think they were from Korea and China but can't remember exactly.  

What others say is true though, if you'd need to return something it would be a huge hassle. 

And as far as doing business with them as suppliers I have no idea.

hi,You said it right, international transport you sure you want to wait for a long time,

[tutank_crafts]

oh,i think that if you want doing business with them as suppliers,,You can buy him more than a few times, there transportation to judge his service and product quality meets your requirements.This is just my personal point of view

[tutank_crafts]

hi,You say seems a bit of truth, but I personally feel that China's still worth buying daily necessities, is a little long transport time

[tutank_crafts]

I think you said it is a manifestation of internationalization of production, relatively cheap labor resources in China,Indeed most of the products are made in China, but no independent intellectual property rights, the Chinese workers can only get very low wages, China is a big country, but not a manufacturing powerhouse.

oh,it maybe,but China also responsible seller
