International purchasing has been a headache to many business owners, especially when it comes to complicated machines. But buying packaging machines from Yide Machinery could be one of the best purchasing experience you’ll ever have.
We offer plenty of support and diversified order processing channels to minimize your effort to be paid in the purchasing, so that you can focus on your business rather than keep worrying about “when will the machine come?”, “will the machine be manufactured as I want?”, “where is the machine now”, etc.
Start up
The purchasing of a new packaging machine should be planned beforehand of the production requirement. You certainly can’t expect to have the packaging machine standing in your factory ready to work as soon as you place an order from packaging machine factory in China. Do make the plan in advance.
The time frame of purchasing a packaging machine is composed of:
- The time to decide what you need
- The time to find the right packaging machine supplier
- The time to communicate with the supplier, make sure there are no misunderstandings.
- The time for the supplier to have the packaging machine ready for shipment (Lead time). Even the packaging machines in stock doesn’t mean they can be shipped tomorrow.
- Payment transfer time. Most suppliers need to receive deposit before they start to manufacture the packaging machine, and 100% payment should be cleared before shipment. Especially for the customized packaging machines. International fund transfer usually takes 1-3 working days.
- The machine is ready, the payment is cleared, now can the machine be sent to the seaport tomorrow? Yes, but that doesn’t mean that the packaging machine will be on the ship tomorrow. Usually suppliers send the machine to seaport 1 week ahead of the ship departure date.
- Thank God, the ship departs from the seaport today, I guess the packaging machine will arrive in a few days. Yes, maybe. But hold on. Check the distance between your seaport and China seaport. If you are in East Asia, South-East Asia, you can expect the machines in 4-10 working days. But if you are in Europe, America, Africa, the delivery time is usually over 30 days.
- Time for custom clearance. It usually takes a few days to complete the import custom clearance process. Find a professional agent to do the work would be a good choice if you are not very familiar with the custom things.
