Fees vary according to QC, assembly and space requirements but are calculated as follows:

I. Warehousing Labor & Space:

Set fee per cubic meter (cbm), applied at three phases:

- In-coming (unload and organize)

- Weekly Space

- Out-going (containerization)

This standard method of calculation allows for scalable cbm-based billing and can take into account multiple or constantly changing deliverables.

II. Assembly and/or Internal QC

Billed on a "per unit inspected/ assembled" basis taking into account the volume of product and labor requirements for Assembly and/or QC to be conducted under our roof.

III. Raw Material Costs (Component Pricing)

Components may be arranged by the customer and delivered to our assembly center for processing. If the customer does not have an existing China supply chain in place then PassageMaker can assist in finding qualified sub-suppliers. The sub-supplier pricing will be quoted at cost from the factory- no markups or hidden charges. Pls. view the "Supplier Identification & Analysis" section of our website for details on services and fees should you need assistance in locating suitable vendors.

IV. External QC and/or Vendor Coordination and/or Shipping Coordination

Due to distance, language, time and cultural barriers the client may desire that PassageMaker's China based, Bi-lingual Project Managers serve as a liaison between the client and sub-suppliers to ensure that customer requirements for price, quality and lead-time are realized. This entails coordinating production schedules with the sub-suppliers and arranging outbound shipping to ensure a smooth supply chain.

Project Managers and Quality Assurance Engineers are also available to conduct sub-supplier audits across China as required by the customer.

Pls. view the "Vendor Coordination & Quality Control" section of our website for details on services and fees should you need assistance.

V. Shipping and/or Duties

Shipping and US customs are either paid directly by the client or PassageMaker can arrange door to door delivery which is billed at cost, in an open fashion. For example, the Project Manager would work with the client to book the best rates and shortest lead times on freight by checking with 4 or 5 agents at each shipping date.

In summary, the above system offers the benefits of going factory direct without the hassle of setting up your own China infrastructure for Vendor Mgmt, QC and Assembly. The direct savings that our customers enjoy when their supply chains run smoothly under our management far outweigh the costs to retain PassageMaker.
