Fall Into | Consequences(What You Will Lose) | How We Help You Avoid Pitfalls |
| 1 | Only comparing prices,
ignoring material standards
(Q235/Q355/ASTM/EN) | Insufficient structural strength,
unsafe,failing local acceptance | Strictly produce in accordance with
target country standards,provide
material test reports |
| 2 | Not confirming local wind
load,snow load,and
seismic requirements | Prone to deformation or collapse
under typhoons or heavy snow,
posing safety hazards | Provide free structural calculation
books(compliant with local building
codes)after order confirmation;Or paid
calculation books(for easy standard
comparison),design fee fully deducted
from the goods payment after order
placement |
| 3 | Placing orders without
confirming drawings,
resulting in errors in
dimensions/units | Goods cannot be installed upon
arrival at the port,with extremely
high rework costs | Confirm Chinese and English drawings
bidirectionally,unify units before
production |
| 5 | Blind design without
considering container
dimensions | Difficult loading,over-
length/over-width,incurring huge
freight costs | Optimize design for 20GP/40HQ containers
to maximize loading efficiency |
| 6 | Trusting low prices that
exclude accessories,
foundations,or
installation parts | Missing parts upon delivery,making
on-site assembly impossible | Transparent quotation with complete
accessories,all-inclusive price with no
hidden costs |
| 8 | Skipping preliminary
structural verification | Difficult to expand or renovate
later,unstable overall structure | Designed by professional engineers to
ensure structural safety and durability |
| 9 | Ignoring customs clearance
documents and
certifications | Unable to clear customs at the
destination port,incurring
demurrage charges and fines | Prepare a full set of customs clearance
documents in advance,including
certificate of origin and inspection
certificates |
| 10 |
Lack of installation
guidance and after-sales
support | Self-installation errors leading to
water leakage and instability | Provide detailed installation drawings,
videos,and remote technical guidance |
