sourcing tents from china for relief efforts

AoA All

I had been asked by several groups to find information on chinese tent manufacturers. It appears that the local market in Pakistan is empty, the supplies have not kept up with the need so NGOs working in this area are struggling to get the tents.

Its very expensive to buy and ship tents from here. I have worked with my contacts in China to get a list of manufacturers in different provinces. Please feel free to pass this on to anyone that you know is looking for such supplies.

For your information, normally, the import and export business in China will need open L/C instead of wireless transferring money. My contacts have advised me to get a contract signed before payment is made.

Re: sourcing tents from china for relief efforts

the tent suppliers in US buy tents from the companies I just listed. Here is teh basic issue..all numbers are finctional just to illustrate an example.

a tent in china is $10, and shipping cost to Pakistan is $1 so it gets to Pakistan for $11.

the same $10 tent, is sold to US distributors, who add their own $2 to it, shipping adds another $2 to the price, any warehousing costs, all get added up. now when you buy it you are paying $15 for it, and shipping will cost you $2, i.e. $17

Now for speed. Once the sale is executed, China can have the tents in Pakistan the same day by plane or within a few days by ship, depending on which province you source from. it takes longer time to get the tents from US to Pakistan.

For immediate immediate need, if someone is going to Pakistan and wants to take a dozen tents with them tomorrow, then I would suggest talking to any of the outdoors & camping type companies, sports retailers and even military surplus stores.
