Looking Back To Unrest in Hong Kong That Caused Havoc with Our Freight into the UK
Written by Administrator   
Friday, 12 June 2015

Core strength of USBEXTRA is the speed with which we deliver your personalised USB flash drives.

We recently ‘bragged’ about the delivery of branded portable chargers for Insuralex. For the printed portable charger power banks developed for Insuralex, we stepped in when a company that was given 15 days to deliver decided to let them know 9 days before their event that they could not fulfil the order. USBEXTRA was only given 9 days to deliver the order and we delivered it in 7 days. The full blog re this Insuralex order situation can be seen HERE.

We said all this to underscore USBEXTRA’s reputation for delivering on fast orders. We even recently blogged about the secret sauce. The secret sauce blog expounds on the 3 core strengths that guides our motives. In this blog, which are QUALITY, SPEED and SERVICE. The SPEED for delivering was further highlighted in this article.

Looking back to the unrest in Hong Kong; our expertise, 11 years’ experience and systems were tested to the utmost. For those of you not familiar with the unrest, it was one of the most talked about news late last year. We only do branded USB drives and we cannot claim to know the ins and outs of the fallout, you can view the entire story of the 2014 pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong from more political leaning outlets HERE and HERE.

Why do pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong affect the delivery of your branded technology products you ask? Not dissimilar from your Apple, Converse trainers, LG, Samsung and many other product suppliers. Majority of all the materials come from south Asia, and more specifically China. If you were to order a custom made converse trainers or Apple IPOD today, you will notice they come directly from China. Like these other major companies, USBEXTRA rely on IC Chip manufacturers, mould manufacturers, PCBA fabricators from the region to develop the materials for your promotional USB drives.

The pro-democracy unrest in Hong Kong became an issue that affected the delivery of our material consignments as Hong Kong is the main Hub for freight in the region. Most consignments pass through this hub. For readers familiar with air travel in the UK, It is like travelling from Manchester to Heathrow in order to fly out across the pond to the United States.

Materials that would normally take 3 days to arrive, then could either arrive within the 3 days or arrive in 7 or 8 days. It became a lottery how quickly we receive materials for orders as customs (or the Chinese government) scrutinised every consignments leaving the region.

Over 8 months on from the riots and unrest, our network and systems are delivering quicker turnarounds than ever. We understand that decision making processes can be sometimes strenuous but we will always advise that you place your orders as quickly as possible. Similar to the Insuralex order, we love been tested with re to the speed with which we can deliver your branded memory sticks but it’s not always good for the heart when we have to deliver massive orders in 7-8 days. USBEXTRA can help you to plan and leave ample time for the development process.

The best way to start is by visiting the USBEXTRA site to view the myriad of branded USB sticks we manufacture. We have a mixture of branded technology products that will suit different concept ideas as well as cost constraints. Personalised USB stick images featured above are custom USB drives, branded memory sticks, printed wireless presenters and branded portable charger power banks. If you don’t know where to start or which product will best suit your marketing requirements, please email us at sales@usb-extra.co.uk or give us a call on 01133 50 50 65.
