Frequently asked Questions

 

Since I get a lot of questions form people who want to join our trips, I tried to give here an overview of the frequently asked questions. If there is still some uncertainty, please contact me.

1. Are these trips a scam or where is the catch?

This questions I probably hear from almost every new participant and I totally understand it. In order to create more trust I also build this website. By providing TV reports, newspaper articles, photos of past events, comments from participants I try to create more understanding. I furthermore recommend to do a web research about trade2cn or about the individual past trips. If you are still uncertain, feel free to contact me. I can probably answer your questions or give you references who can give you another objective opinion.

 

 

2. Why are the trips for free?

The different local Chinese governments want to support their local factories to promote their products. Therefore they sponsor these trips.

 

 

3. Any costs for the hotel or food?

For the check-in you just need to bring your passport. No need to pay deposit or anything else. You will be provided with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Most of the time there will be a buffet. For special requirements about food, please let me know.

 

 

4. Are there any costs about the transportation?

The transportation costs (plane/train/bus) will be reimbursed after your arrival in the event location. 

 

 

5. Why do I have to buy my ticket first by myself?

In the past we bought the tickets for the participants. But some people took advantage of that. They finally did not participate and the money was lost. Therefore we changed the strategy. 

 

 

5.1. How can I be sure that I will get my money back?

This event is organized by trade2cn. They have a good reputation. You can check the internet for fraud or scam or contact your embassy. I also can provide you with as many references as you like. Please contact me if you have doubts.

 

 

5.2. What do I need to do to get my money back?

Please bring the blue invoice (fapiao) of your flight ticket to the event. (link)

 

 

5.3. How can I get this blue invoice (fapiao)?

All the airlines or travel agencies can provide you with this invoice. In order to make sure that everything will work out fine, I will send you a guide after your application is approved.

 

 

6. Are there any hidden or extra cost?

Definetly no hidden costs. There might be some extra costs for some individual leisure activity such as sightseeing or a drink in a bar etc.

 

 

7. Is there any obligation to make a purchase?

Absolutely not. As long as you don't want to purchase a product, there is no need to buy anything. 

 

 

8. Are there any comissions paid?

If you find a supplier, you will deal with the supplier without any middlemen. So their quotation won't include any comission to trade2cn, the local government or anyone else

 

 

9. Do the suppliers/factories/sellers have to pay a participation fee?

No, it is also free for them, so it won‘t make the products more expensive.
