i do not agree .though the factory price may be low than the trade company but some times one factory"products  kinds is limited . it will be more convinient to find the trade company to contact many factory to prepare one order so i think the factory and the trade company is also have the advantafe and disadvatage!

i don't think so

no doubt aoubt

because  the price for materril and labor dis more and more dear  so that coutemer will go with factoery

i don't agree with you !cause we are a manufacturer,but it's also hard to trade with foreigners

factories are already doing foreign trade their own~~~~

Yeah,I support you ！g6ha'e%F*W*R6Dr
This is why I am staying in the factory.
7r%Q,qi-f/aj Again ,we can learn much more about products than in trade company.6H&q+]\j
But I wanna work in trade company in my next job to experience the working environment.

I am working in a factory and manage the export sales, and our factory just has one export sales,  and our products is not so attractive in the international market,and what I face is just like a price battle........:L

I have worked in factories and now in a international trade company , I think business easy or hard should more or less due to the products , for example , if a buyer want to purchase groceries , one factory always hard to meet with his request . just my personal opinion...

yes,the factory's service is not more professional than the international trade company,from the policy to the customers to the level of the clerk are not good.So until now ,a lot of customers are still purchased the goods from the tradex NS
na
company not factory.

we are  electronic factory ,get an order here is very easy.:lol

I think so.The price is very competitive,but the kinds of  products in factory is always less than trading company's.As me,now i work in a factory.The samples which the customers wanted are often can not be supplied.

Yes,I do think so.

Nowdays, more and more clients like doing business with factories. :)

I don't think so! Work in a factory, it may be easier for you to know more on your products and shows yourself as a professior some how, which would be a tough job for the trading-company guys.

But we should also focus on other factors. The management in the factory, in generally, are not so standard. Frequent delay, quality gaps between the sample & final products, easy to promise and easier to break its words,etc,…which always make the customers dare not to have another try.

All in all, what we should do is improve the impression of made in China. Thus, no matter your are in a factory or trading company,your confidence could attact enough customers to place the orders.

I work in the factory.And our orders are mostly from the Canton Fair.I think it's wise to do bussiness with your client directly.But the oppotunity to attend the Canton Fair is not open to every factory.So the trading company is necessary to the factory and the client.

Some foreigners dont like that. They need some money as the floating assets.

i agree with you,hehe,in factory ,we can learn more about the products

i think so !

It depends...Though the factory has the advantage on the price, but its weak communication ability will set itself into low competition situation, so if the factory can improve this weak point,then would be more easier to get an order...:)

it is a trend for factories to do bussiness with foreign market directly.6LW @9keg!J(s
does it mean that the trading company will disappear one day?

agree with you! back up! :victory:

if a factory want to do the foreign business by himself, they have to cost much. If the master of the factory do not want to invest for the foreign trade business, the situation will becomes hard to the sales in the factory.

its a trend that the factory take a good advantage to absorb the buyer interesting,but some trade company also have a good biz ,bcause the service is very good.

i think own factory +own international department is a trend

I thinks it's easier to get order in a factory. But the factory must have some personnel who are skillful about foreign trade.

some international company they did much better than factory

S 1. the price. you can get a cheaper price from factory directly. which you can have a bit advandage.but it's not definite. for trading company they can offer some good price too. .Y0[%lO"fJgY
2. sample time. factory they can have a good sample time. working in a trading company, usually u cant get it within one week. sometimes it will more than 15 days. even more. i have such experience.6wBB%GH:H{+wm
3.the quality, u can contronl the quality by yourself check it immediately once u found it .Lv b#?v2K;KF V
4. it's easier to work with.
