Stuff from China

[HarleyT]

Are you guys able to get any crap from China these days?

I am asking because my e-bay sales are up over %200, and was curious if it was just from the lockdown, or coupled with folks not being able to get **** from China.

There are multiple factors. Cheap shipping from China took advantage of available space in passenger jet cargo holds - those flights have pretty much gone away, so it's now months instead of weeks for shipping time. Second, the USPS has basically been subsidizing China - post is supposed to work on a reciprocal basis. Shipping from China, the shipper pays China Post (which is subsidized by China, and charges squat), who delivers it to USPS, who delivers it free. What little revenue there is goes to China Post. It's supposed to balance and also work in the other direction, except there's not nearly as much stuff shipped the other way. But, that's going to change, soon. So, right now, shipping stuff from China in a reasonable time (weeks instead of months) is much more expensive than it used to be. And, that's unlikely to change since by the time airlines come back, international postal rate restructuring will be happening. $1 + free shipping stuff from China will be a thing of the past.

The Chinese prices on there saws are climbing. Watch there parts prices go up soon I’ll bet too.

I would say it is a sign of the times . Most people are stuck at home so they are catching up on projects that have been on the back burner . I am sure that includes getting that old saw up and running . Importing parts from China isn't the coolest thing to do at this time.

Is this really a thread about accelerating the buying and selling of cheap chinese crap? I'm doing everything I can to never buy such crap again.

Am I alone in that endeavor here on Arboristsite?

We still have a couple of electric motor shops local. Problem is finding rebuild/internals that are not Chi-Com crap.

I have to do the distributor on my 9N tractor soon. I'm glad I have stash of old standard/blue streak stuff to put in it. It's had to even find a decent set of points. That tractor still has an original 80 year old genny and starter, but they have been refreshed a few times.

This virus hopefully has woke people up in that "Made in America" needs to be like it was in the 1950s
