If you ask around you will find many US-based companies have “horror stories” about trying to do business in China. They have experienced acceptable samples only to find the shipment was not the same as the sample.
They have discovered – too late – that “equivalent” materials were used to manufacture their products causing operational or testing failure, joined parts that do not fit per specifications, threading out of specifications, paint containing lead (yes, even in the 21st century), or the incorrect PMS color, crooked or upside down logos or stickers, bar codes that do not scan, coatings that have been applied to thin or too thick, and missing or incorrect components. You may have your own horror story. Or, you may not have experienced any of the above. The concerns are: How do you know what will happen? What happens when that container arrives and there is an issue? How can you be sure your specifications or “running changes” are 100% understood and properly implemented?
China Manufacturing is great, when products are made correctly. Some of the most complex and complicated products are “Made in China”. We’re referring to commodity type items as well as custom-made items. China manufacturing can produce exactly what you call out in your specifications; be it low quality, inexpensive items, or high quality, expensive items, and everything in between. There are four steps to successful China manufacturing. First, be able to accurately describe exactly what you want. Second, verify; third, verify and fourth, verify.
