Why Germans Buy Chinese Goods?<\/h2>\n
Germans buy Chinese goods for a number of reasons, these include:<\/p>\n
i) Low cost – this is the main unique selling point of buying Chinese goods within Germany<\/p>\n
ii) Many German businesses rely on buying Chinese goods to sell on for a profit; this is especially the case with affiliate sellers on eCommerce sites such as EBay and Amazon<\/p>\n
iii) Chinese manufacturers have repositioned themselves in recent years to provide higher quality products which is reassuring to the German population<\/p>\n There are a number of problems which German customers face unfortunately when buying Chinese goods. The main issues experienced are:<\/p>\n i) High transit charges are often made by Chinese Companies to distribute goods, as the customer is seen as a one-off deal by the seller<\/p>\n ii) Exorbitant customs charges are applied by German authorities to import Chinese goods into Germany<\/p>\n iii) Goods are destroyed by German customs as counterfeit<\/p>\n iv) Many Chinese businesses don’t offer an export service at all, especially smaller eShops<\/p>\n Parcelflow can be relied upon to provide a solution to the importing of Chinese goods into Germany.
