What I Like About My Wholesale Consumer Electronics Supplier Direct From China

Some people are just so afraid to deal with wholesale consumer electronics supplier from China online. I have to admit that I was doubtful as well the first time I came across my supplier. Issues like product reliability, quality, customer service, the credibility of the supplier and the overall value that one would get for his money have to be considered and looked at carefully.
If you looked everywhere around the house or elsewhere, you’d be surprised to see a lot of things, in fact, almost everything says at the back that they are “made in China”. They are everywhere: TV’s, audio equipments, furniture and even our fine line of fashion accessories. Even some of the branded electronics that we have around like your iPod are “assembled in China”. Boy! China really is busy these days being that it’s now the world’s largest factory. They make everything!As a consumer, I always want the best. I’m talking about not only the best in quality for any product that I purchase but also the best in customer service and price deals.

When I first came across my wholesale consumer electronics supplier direct from China about a year ago, I was surprised with the huge collection of electronics products they’ve got in store. I was particularly shopping around online for MP3/MP4 players, hoping to get a shot at online entrepreneurship. Some items were eye-catching and the features outlined where impressive enough to scare the heck out of the competition. The one item that really caught my fancy was the MP4 Player 1GB 1.5 inch 65k true colour LCD screen, FM Radio. It looked sleek and fashionable and like nothing I’ve ever seen. My eyes were so accustomed to iPods and other branded designs. But this one really has got something. My firs reaction was “I got to have it!” However, something nagged at the back of my mind. Issues like product reliability, quality, customer service, the credibility of this supplier and the overall value that I’d get for my money popped out instantly. So, I resisted my shopper’s impulse for a while. I sent emails to the supplier and checked out what they had to say. I went over the customer comments and testimonies and satisfied myself after reading the happy notes from customers all over the world. It did not take long for me to wait for what the supplier’s representatives had to say. They went back with a cordial reply that made me feel I’m in good hands and not dealing with just another fly-by-night scammers. We kept contact while I did some thorough research on their company. To my surprise, my supplier topped the Google, Yahoo and MSN search results in all three sets of keywords that I used to look them up on the Internet. And they still do even today, almost a year had passed since the first time I searched them online. Anyhow, at that point, I was somehow assured that all is well. I went ahead and ordered a few samples of the MP4 player that I fancied. Another thing, my supplier lets me purchase any item at wholesale price with no minimum order quantity. I did not have to worry about purchasing more than I wanted to test out. Ordering through my supplier’s online purchasing system was a breeze. You wouldn’t get lost in some long forms with unnecessary fields to fill out. Payments were secure and safe through PayPal (but what I actually did was wire transfer). Their instructions were clear that even a four-year old could follow them with no problems at all. Online tracking was available and undeniably reliable. They would even keep in touch constantly to check and let you know that things are going just swimmingly. So, I waited…nervously. Between anxious paces around the house and other things, within a week, my order arrived! Boy, was I delighted and relieved to see my package. They were in prime condition. The items looked just as I saw them online. My first online purchase direct from China went without a glitch.

How are my MP4 players now? They are still working fine. I am actually quite surprised about how Chinese electronics are superior in some ways compared to other branded items. Not a lot of MP4 players around have a built-in radio tuner. Mine’s got everything. You can watch video clips, listen to your favorite tunes that you stored or music from the airwaves and you can even browse jpeg files. Even the customers who bought them (I ordered a few) were satisfied and delighted with the product’s performance and value.

OverallScience Articles, my wholesale consumer electronics supplier direct from china gave me a totally new online transaction experience. Not only are they reliable. They offer the best products with superior quality and the best price deals online. I’d say they are unbeatable.

RoHS Compliant PCB Assembly – Ultra Electronics CEMS

The advent of the RoHS legislation which is due to come into effect from 1st July 2006 has caused a lot of electronics manufacturing companies and electronic component suppliers to review their product and service offerings.
The advent of the RoHS legislation which is due to come into effect from 1st July 2006 has caused a lot of electronics manufacturing companies and electronic component suppliers to review their product and service offerings. One such company is Ultra Electronics CEMS, the Dorset based electronic manufacturing services provider. Ultra CEMS manufactures products on behalf of their clients and has customers who are currently exempt from the current legislation as well as clients who are directly affected by the RoHS legislation. John Dean, Sales Manager at Ultra CEMS states, “We are working with all of our clients at present to aid the transition to RoHS compliant components and products. We are advising even those companies who are currently exempt from the new legislation to review their component engineering strategy now as we believe these companies will be affected sooner rather than later as component manufacturers gradually transition their whole product range to RoHS compliant product in order to reduce their costs.It is our belief that certain packages will shortly only be available in a RoHS compliant form so it would be better to manage the change now rather have if enforced later. Even if component manufacturers continue to support non-RoHS compliant parts for the DefenceHealth Fitness Articles, Aerospace sectors etc it is highly likely that the unit prices of these components will increase to reflect the lower volumes required. This is clearly something that will need to be considered in product costing/design reviews. We are already producing a number of RoHS compliant PCB assemblies for clients and in some instances have been carrying out lead free PCB assembly since July 2004.” In PCB Assemblies it is not uncommon to have in excess of 100 different components per product to review. If we assume each client has a portfolio of over 10 uniquely different products then we can be talking about in excess of 1000 part numbers which have to be reviewed. This can be a daunting task and should therefore be undertaken sooner rather than later. The process involves offering component engineering support to clients and literally going through all of their parts lists making recommendations and finding direct RoHS compliant alternatives as well as advising on topics such as backward compatibility.If you are not already considering the RoHS legislation and how it will affect your business then its time to start now before the new legislation comes into effect.
