Re: [Electric Boats] Purchasing from China

 

I looked into a couple of LED importers. They were selling complete systems, not components. All of them were using prison labor in China.

Please look into your sources....

Subject: [Electric Boats] Purchasing from China

 

G'day All

I have been dealing with someone in China who is setting up a
business to be a purchasing agent.

The areas he is specialising in is primarily renewable energy (solar,
wind, batteries, LED lighting, etc) but he is also keen on electric
propulsion so motors, controllers, contactors, etc.

His intent is to get the quality product that China makes be
available (instead of the flood of cheap-and-nasty that we're all
used to), and to ensure that the products he deals in is of good
quality (the sample batch of downlights that he has under-way for us
at present have been collected from the manufacturer, and are being
tested at an independent workshop now). Expect to pay a little more
than "Ebay special" pricing, but get quality that far exceeds the
typical Ebay products.

He has just started out, and is looking for clients to act on behalf
of. At this time he will happily deal with individuals, as long as
their purchase is worth-while (i.e. not in single quantities or
particularly low-value orders). For "Ebay quantities" he hopes to
have a web site set up in the next 6 to 12 months, but that is not
his priority. For now he will act as purchasing agent, either
fee-for-service or percent of invoice. Hopefully he can end up with
enough repeat-business customers for him to be successful, and we can
all see some quality product without paying through the nose for it.

If you are looking for a boat-fitout worth of lighting (or similar)
as a one-off I'm sure he'd be happy to work for you as a once-off,
although I can see as he gets busy he will be less keen to look after
smaller quantities for one-off customers, other than his future web site.

For any Australian orders, as long as you are not in a hurry I can
get items imported in conjunction with things we're getting.

If anyone is interested, I'll give you his details, send me an Email
jcmassey_at_netspace.net.au (to spare me the spambots seeing my
address, so replace the _at_ with @ and all will be well).
