If the answer is YES, then you must read this post, after which you might change your decision. Read On.
We can’t deny that most of the machinery buyers show their interest towards china because of the availability of maximum machines at low prices. But, do you think this low price will actually benefit us over quality, reliability and durability.
You can find major differences in Chinese Machines and Indian Machines. Here I have tried to highlight few of those in order to help you to keep your potential problems at bay.
QUALITY AND PRICE
As mentioned above, Chinese Machines are no doubt available at comparatively less rates. But, before getting attracted towards this tempted offer, you should ask how it has become possible for china? Why no other country, especially India (which is also making same machineries, tools & equipment using advanced technology) is able to beat their prices?
The simple answer is priorities. China just thinks about earning money by grabbing the attention of investors by offering less prices which basically costs the quality of the product. Because, they cut down the quality of raw materials and components, and it is very obvious, higher will be the quality, higher will be the prices and vice versa.
Whereas, India gives first priority to the quality in order to serve better and value the hard-earned money of the investors. Though, these machines can’t beat the price, which can be offered by Chinese but yes, these are actually available at reasonable prices as per their quality, reliability and durability.
CUSTOMIZATION
We all know that China has increased their production rate up to many times just because of their robots, which are programmed for making respective products in bulk. This fails china to give customized products as per the desired specifications of the clients. Because, if they do so, their so-called robots, their production heroes will have to be programmed accordingly for making 1 or 2 customized machines. And, this is not acceptable by China, so they run behind when the matter comes about customization.
Whereas, machines, made in India, can be easily asked for customization. Engineers are skilled enough to provide the desired product keeping the efficiency and quality of machine at top.
SPARE PARTS and WARRANTY
Many Chinese manufacturers claim to offer 1 year warranty on their products or machines. But, do you know the goodness of machine can be judged only after its usage. As long you will bring the machine in use, you will get to know about the reliability. In addition to this, Chinese manufacturers also have a bad habit of doing whatever they can to avoid honoring the warranty terms. Thus, you need to clarify how warranty claims shall be settled and at that point you may regret on your buying decision
However, buying a machine from India will settle all these issues. Indian manufacturers stand on their words as long as their products are in use. They don’t take much time for the examination of damaged part and replace the part as soon as possible without any charges in a warranty period, which is not in case of china. Chinese manufacturers take minimum 30 days for replacement, which obviously affects your production rate. Plus, buyer has to pay the freight charges and taxes to them.
INSTALLATION, SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Machines require maintenance, repairs and spare parts at some point. Chinese machines are built in such a way that you will be lacked the technical experience to repair and install the machine by yourself or your nation’s technical expert. In this case, only option left with you is to request direct assistance from Chinese supplier.
Chinese rarely have employees or partnerships with maintenance firms, overseas. Thus, their offering is limited to sending a technician overseas, but only if they can obtain a visa for the country of destination. On the basis of this, I can say that your machine will be collecting dust for more than 6 months
Indian Machinery Manufactures has gain momentum in this case. You can easily manage the machine with your local technician whenever required. Also, Indians are always ready to serve.
BIASED RETURN POLICIES OF CHINA
You should not be surprised at all if you receive a damage or defective product from China. Once, if we let it go and think about the returning then you should get ready to be disappointed because returning defective items to China is rarely an option.
Moreover, even if you do return the items, the Chinese customs authorities may not allow the shipment back into the country. Assuming they do, you are not guaranteed a refund from the supplier anyway
I think the above points are enough to make you understand about the purpose of crafty Chinese. So, its better to invest money in a right direction as well as deal with reliable country.
