Sourcing And Export Logistics
Most of our buyers are not buying one scale, they are filling a container and a price list. This is how we run that: one order across the whole catalogue, published packing data so the freight cost is known before production, and a lead time that is normally under 15 days.
Where Projects Go Wrong And What We Do About It
Each stage below is a real failure point we see in enquiries, and the answer we give.
Range planning
The problem. Importers build a price list model by model and end up with four suppliers and four shipments.
How we solve it. Components, industrial scales, laboratory balances and household scales all come from one catalogue and one order.
Costing
The problem. Landed cost is guessed because packing data is not available until shipment.
How we solve it. Carton dimensions, net and gross weight and 20 ft, 40 ft and 40 ft HQ loading quantities are published per model wherever the factory has confirmed them.
Documentation
The problem. Certificates arrive that cover a family rather than the model on the invoice.
How we solve it. We confirm CE, OIML, NTEP and RoHS documentation against the exact models before production.
Production
The problem. Long lead times break seasonal retail programmes.
How we solve it. Delivery time is normally under 15 days for catalogue items, so a programme can be planned around a known date.
Shipping
The problem. Urgent replacement parts get stuck behind a sea shipment.
How we solve it. Sea freight for volume, air freight and DHL, FedEx, UPS or TNT for urgent indicators, cells and samples.
After sales
The problem. Spare parts years later come from a different source and do not match.
How we solve it. Catalogue families stay referenced by model, so replacement cells and heads match the original build.

Which shipping methods do you use?

Can I get packing data before ordering?
Yes, and it is published on the product pages where the factory has confirmed it, including carton size, net and gross weight and container quantities.
