I've been living in China for awhile now, and chances are
If you deal with Chinese suppliers in anyway
You've probably been hit with some delays.
You need to expect this, and give yourself some buffer room.
It is just how things work here,
from the lady selling noodles down the street
to big factories developing your products.
To Minimize These Delays
First you need to understand their culture,
similar to the island lifestyle, there is no sense of urgency.
Westerners do things today to avoid problems tomorrow
The Chinese will do things tomorrow when problems arises.
So call them and email them every single day!
Ask if any problems arise or if they need any help.
It is just how things work here...
Even with the lady selling noodles down the street.
She's not serving who's in line FIRST
She'll serve who's the loudest and most annoying.
If you sit quietly in line...
good luck pal, you'll be waiting
until everyone gets served!!
Same things works with big or small suppliers,
Unless you're a massive buyer, ordering containers at a time.
You will get bumped down the list if you're not on their a$$.
