Factories beeing unable to deliver or shutting down instantly seems to become a familiar sight in the industrial areas of China.
Below an extract we received from our customer. It is rarely possible to reach anyone after the factory has closed down, here our office had the mobile number of one of the factories staff from previous inspection bookings.
This time no serious financial damage was caused to our customer, the ones suffering most, are the former staff and workers having to fight for their salaries and unpaid social security benefits.
We can only advise our customers to be cautious with any pre payment or down payment, and especially for larger orders, customers should insist on LC terms. If the factoury does not accept your terms .... walking away is the only solution!
"This is Shirlly who worked in ZhuoEr Commodity Co., Ltd before, I think maybe you have asked about the cushion samples many times. Let me tell you what happened.
Our boss Yolanda owed a lot of debt and she escaped several days ago, we were very surprised of this, because she didn't say anything before escape, now we still haven't got our salary, our workers already reported to the police and the court, they are handling this now.
The court will announce our factory bankrupt, so I am sorry we cannot send you the samples now.
Very sorry for this bad news and hope everything is going well for you.
Best Regards
Shirlly "
