Is the Qingdao foreign trade export agency reliable? Please give me some advice!
Our company recently plans to expand overseas markets and needs to find a foreign trade export agency to help handle related matters. Currently, the target is locked on agencies in the Qingdao area, but we are not quite sure whether the foreign trade export agencies there are reliable. Are there any friends who know the situation and can tell me whether the Qingdao foreign trade export agencies are reliable in terms of operation process, service quality, charging standards, etc.? I'm afraid of being ripped off, so I want to know more.

There are reliable and unreliable Qingdao foreign trade export agencies. The key lies in screening.
First of all, look at the operation process. Reliable agencies such as Zhongshitong have a clear and standardized process. From receiving orders, customs declaration, transportation to foreign exchange settlement and tax rebate, etc., there are professional personnel in control, and they can efficiently handle various documents and procedures.
In terms of service quality, they will provide comprehensive services, including market research, assistance in customer development, etc., and can also timely feedback the progress of business. When encountering problems, they can also quickly give solutions.
In terms of charging standards, regular agencies have transparent and reasonable charges. They will clearly mark the prices according to the business volume, service items, etc., and there will be no hidden fees. Therefore, by examining the qualifications, word-of-mouth, past cases, etc. of the agencies, it is possible to find a reliable Qingdao foreign trade export agency.

To judge whether it is reliable or not, go to the agency company to conduct on-site inspections of the office environment and the professionalism of the staff. Unreliable ones may have shabby offices and the staff may know nothing when asked.

You can search for reviews on the Internet. If there are many negative ones, you should be careful. Generally, the online word-of-mouth of reliable agencies will not be too bad.

When communicating with the agency, see if they are familiar with export policies. Those who are not familiar with policies are hardly reliable because policies affect business operations.

Ask the agency for the phone numbers of several cooperative customers and make return visits to know how the service is and whether it is reliable.

Understand the agency's ability to handle unexpected situations, such as transportation delays, customs inspections, etc. Only those who can handle them properly are reliable.

See if the agency has a perfect after-sales service. For example, those who can still provide consulting services after foreign exchange settlement and tax rebate are more reliable.

Pay attention to the terms of the agency contract. If the terms are ambiguous, there may be something fishy. The contract of a reliable agency will be very clear.

Look at the language ability of the agency team. Doing foreign trade requires communicating with foreign customers. It won't work if there is a language barrier. Generally, the language ability of reliable agencies is relatively strong.
