VIG Differs from U.S. Importers

Differentiator VIG U.S. Importers
Supply Chain
Order is placed with U.S. corporate or sales office.Order is then routed through VIG's permanent China office.Products are manufactured at a manufactring plant in china that is partnered directly with VIG. This ensures consistent quality control, manufacturing schedules,product knowledge, factory communication,factory relationships, and low prices. and low prices. Products are then shipped to Long Beach California(or applicable port)and clear U.S. customs.The entire process of shipping and customs clearance takes 30 days. Products are then shipped directly to the VIG warehouse for fulfillment orders.All costs for custom clearance, shipping, and delivery are handled by VIG. VIG's streamline supply chain allows customers to receive product quickly and at exetremely low prices.
Order is placed with U.S. importer then contacts a China or Hong Kong trading company. The trading company will send a representative to China for one week to search for a factory capable of manufacturing the requested product.The factory will then quote a price to the trading company. A negotiation of the price will be made during the final purchase of their commission onto the price quoted by the factory and resell the purchased product to the U.S. importer. The U.S. importer will then add a percentage for their commision onto the price they purchased the product from the trading company as well as an additional fee for shipping to the U.S. port the importer will hold the product until payment for the costs of custom clearance is received from the end customer. Shipping and custom clearance can take up to 60 days. Finally the end customer must either pay an additional charge to have the product shipped to them or arrange to pick up the port. The use of intermediaries to locate and purchase products drives up the price and extends the delivery schedule for the end customer.

Communication
Communication between customers,VIG,and VIG partnered manufacturers is easy and effective. All of VIG's offices in both the U.S. and China are staffed with multilinguals personnel creating a direct link between customers and manufacturing facilities. Customers can sit down in one of VIG's U.S. offices and speak directly with a representative who will help facilitate their manufacturing needs. The customer's needs are then forwarded to VIG's China headquarters and partnered manufacturers and then back to the customer.The customer is able to see samples and any plans for the production beings and work with VIG representatives to create a final product together. This creates a circle of communication that virtually eliminates errors between the customers and the manufacturing facilities.
Communication is unreliable and usually over the phone.Individual representatives do not have a direct link to preferred manufacturers. They must rely on a China or Hong Kong trading company to communicate any information to the manufacturing company.As a result of the lack of direct links to manufacturing companies,the customer is unable to see any sample or designs before final production beings. This creates a large communication gap that can cause misinformation, use of lower cost materials, unclear manufacturing schedules, and a number of other errors.
Patented Products
Since VIG is partnered with leading manufacturing companies in China, VIG is able offer a wide variety of patented products at extremely competitive prices that are not available elsewhere in the market.
As a result of the use of an intermediary to locate products, importers are unable to offer patented products.
Product Lines
VIG offers extremely large and varied product lines.  Because of VIG’s strategic partnership with leading Chinese manufacturing companies, VIG is able to offer the same high volume inventory that the manufacturers carry.  In sense VIG’s partner factories become its inventory warehouse.  This allows VIG to not only manufacture products specified by customer's but also offer customers’ factories full of new and innovative products.  This creates a one stop shopping center for customers to satisfy their vast needs.

Importers are not partnered with large Chinese
manufacturing companies and therefore do not
have the ability to carry the same volume of
inventory
. importers can only search China for
products specified by the customer and possible offer 2-3 products that may have already been found for another customer.As a result customers must search multiple importers to satisfy all of their needs.
