Hi im looking at purchasing some equipment from China starting off with a printer cutter and if all well might get a couple of heat presses. Just wondering if any members here use equipment from china?

A couple years ago, I bought a Chinese heat press......
In a word.........HORRIBLE.
Didn't even close right, wiring was screwed up.....contacted them and they had me remove the main wire harness and send it to them.....and told me to just discard the rest of it. Got a full refund.
This kinda gives you an idea of the lack of quality, right?

don't go with any chinese made goods. it's a buyer beware culture, they don't care once they get your money and there is no support. the quality of goods there is horrendous (i've been there, to the factories where a lot of these goods are made). they make it look good on the web, but once you start looking through the machine you'll see rust, misalignment, poor quality etc

Most of the items we buy are either made in China or have parts made in China or in foreign countries. That includes top name brand products in vinyl cutters, heat presses, printers, etc. It is very difficult to tell what really doesn't have a high contribution percent of China based materials.

you're absolutely right, however, the higher end goods manufacturers have strict quality control for their goods. This is not often the case for chinese made goods

I totally agree, Ryan.
That's certainly been my experience.
