In the previous issue, we talked about the customization brands of cabinets, the impact of tariffs on prices, and demand analysis. In this issue, we will detail how to customize a small cabinet in Los Angeles. Here, it should be explained that, taking the cabinets of the nenwell brand as a reference, cabinets with a capacity of less than 70L are abbreviated as small cabinets, which can be used for storing beverages and frozen foods.
Los Angeles is an important city in California, USA, and also the second largest city in the United States. It is renowned for its multiculturalism, entertainment industry, and Mediterranean climate. It is the global center of the entertainment industry, where Hollywood is located. It has gathered numerous film and television companies and celebrity studios, having a profound impact on the global film and television industry and a highly developed economy.
You need to know that when importing cabinets from China to Los Angeles, container ships depart from Chinese ports, pass through the East China Sea and the South China Sea, then enter the Pacific Ocean and cross the main Pacific shipping route, which is the longest stage of transportation. The ships arrive at the Port of Los Angeles in the United States (or the adjacent Port of Long Beach. Both ports belong to the port group of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area). After completing import customs clearance, inspection, and other procedures, the goods are delivered to the destination in Los Angeles by land transportation (trucks, railways). The whole process is mainly by sea.
The steps to customize a small cabinet in Los Angeles are as follows:
Clarify the requirements. You need to determine the size, capacity, appearance style, and preferences of the cabinet. Specifically, the capacity has a certain range, such as 50 – 60L, the size is 595mm * 545mm * 616mm, the temperature is -25~-18℃, and note any additional requirements.
Determine the contract. This requires both parties to reach a consensus on the plan according to the requirements to form a contract plan. Generally, it takes one to two weeks. Customers need to repeatedly confirm the plan and inquire about prices, including common design plans, quotations, delivery dates, and other detailed terms.
Cabinet inspection and report feedback. After completing a series of production and delivery according to the contract, the customer needs to sign for the customized equipment. During this process, check for existing problems and form a report to feedback to the merchant for resolution. For example, if there are problems such as glue peeling and paint peeling of the equipment, the merchant will provide you with a solution.
The above are the basic steps, but you need to be aware of the occurrence of these situations:
(1) Small – brand enterprises may not ship according to the delivery date due to sudden problems, such as not being able to load the containers on time due to heavy rain, or errors in the tariff report.
(2) After – sales service may not be resolved. Some customers choose unknown small – brand suppliers, resulting in after – sales problems. Therefore, it is best to choose guaranteed big brands, such as nenwell, Samsung, etc. In other words, check for suppliers with many years of production experience and good reputation and service.
(3) Transportation may be delayed. In terms of sea transportation, it takes about 21 days in good weather, and may be postponed in bad weather. Air transportation takes about a week.
(4) Division of liability issues. If there is a problem with the imported cabinet, you need to bear the responsibility and lose your own interests. In such a situation, relevant clauses need to be specified in the contract signing in advance.
The above is an example of imports from Los Angeles, sharing with you the steps to customize commercial cabinets and the situations that need attention. I hope you can gain something from it. In the next issue, we will analyze how to solve the after – sales service of refrigeration equipment.
