For a PCB Supplier like PCB Solutions, our greatest threats are other ‘direct’ competitors. Not only because they are generally competitors but their inherent issues with quality and service. Price original sin and tempter for our customers who are looking to cut out the middle man but have no idea of the pitfalls of doing business with a vendor who is used to doing business in the Chinese market and then wants to branch out into the international market. These companies offer much lower pricing to earn new customers on the front end but they may tarnish the reputation of companies, like PCB Solutions, sourcing product from Asia when they send customers terrible quality. Of course, there are quality suppliers all over the world and determining who is a good, quality suppliers is always the challenge and costly proposal. This discussion really is about quality because 95% of the vendors in China are used to dealing and selling their product into China
We know, however, from experience that there are good printed circuit board fabricators out there that can offer off-shore pricing but maintain the highest of quality standards. We current do business with these types of suppliers and have done for years now. We have been doing it for 13 years now to be exact.
In addition, we are a U.S. based firm with the ability to hand your transactions with normal payment terms; no one from your firm has to stay up into the late evenings dealing with suppliers and logistics; and we have the ability to vouch for very solid quality and service that you will only find with a supplier that is dedicated to working with exports and not their local business opportunities. Trust us when we say there is a huge gap in the quality thinking of export companies.
With these things being said, again, here is what you can expect to see from suppliers wanting you to buy their products. These emails came to us within just a one week and that does not even take into account the 200 other emails from suppliers that landed in our junk email.
Beware and trust the small percentages of difference in prices for your printed circuit boards are well worth the costs of having another firm manage that role in your supply chain. We are effective at keeping your product competitive AND high quality with on-time delivery. You will save thousands in not having returns, failures, missed deliveries and the like.
Here are more examples of suppliers you should be leery of:
This is Jesse from JXPCB.
