Features Russia - goods sale through the Internet. In Russia much beginning and average businessman whom time is not present to go on an exhibition and to choose the equipment.

Except the equipment from China on this market there is an equipment from the USA, Europe, India and Korea. The goods from these countries have higher quality, guarantees and excellent service. From China the low price, but bad quality have the goods only and there is no service and repair. The companies competitors to pay for advertising and to withdraw many clients in Russia.

4. The price which pays the client from Russia for the equipment from China. Many factories have very good prices for the equipment and clients cannot find in Russia. Idle time - the factory does not know the answer what final price when the client to receive the equipment in Russia.

China from Russia separates the big distance. And any goods from China add in the price when to be sent in Russia. The more the weight your equipment, the the big sum the client from Russia should pay for delivery. That the factory to understand:

1) Price delivery + customs the duty from China in Russia by air - 14 USD for 1 kg of weight.

2) Price delivery + customs the duty from China in Russia on the sea - 7 USD for 1 kg of weight.

If the price the equipment low - but the equipment has the big weight. That the price in Russia which it is necessary to pay to the client it is very high. Well to sell the equipment in Russia it is necessary to reduce weight any equipment and any goods. The more low weight, the more low the goods price in Russia. It will give many clients.

For example - the price the machine 3000 USD (it is the good and low price) and is many clients from Russia which wish to receive the equipment under this price. But weight the car makes 700 kg. Means if the client delivers cargo in Russia on the sea it should to pay 3000 USD to factory and 700 kg X 7 USD = 4900 USD. The Total price will make already 7900 USD. It is a big price and the client to refuse to buy. Much to sell it is necessary to think as to lower gross weight the equipment.

Many factories in China conduct decrease the price. And it is necessary to reduce weight the equipment. Because so the final price for the client from Russia will decrease. If your equipment costs 3000 USD and has weight of 700 kg, and at your competitor the price 2900 USD, but gross weight of 1000 kg. The client from Russia will buy that from you. Because the total price delivery + a payment customs will be more low.
