[asterisk-biz] Why so many international customers ask for freesamples

[Dean Collins]

Of course Chinese businesses can process usa credit cards.

 

Go to your local bank for a credit card processing account.

Dear Everyone my friends,

 

Thanks for you so many people talk about my questions, yes, I do sell
hardware like Voip phone, ATA, wifi sip phone, GSM/WIFI phone and so on.
About the sample, we take the policy like that charge sample first, if
the customer like it and when you place bulk order next time, then the
sample fee charged before will be returned to them, if the customer do
not like it, when they return the sample, we will also return their
money of sample.

Do you think this way is good for our business.

 

Also, I have still a further question, many people in US request our
business with credit card, But I do not know whether we can go by credit
card with US customer or some other foreign customer outside China, I
mean not the problem of us and our cusotmer, but the bank of China and
the bank of US or any other country's. Yes, for sure, it can go in local
China when both parties are in China, but if one is in China and one is
in US, can we still go on the business with the credit card, as far as I
know, we can only do business with US or any other outside China
customers by the payment method of bank transfer or LC or DP, DA. do you
have any other good payment mothed?

or could you kindly advise whether we can go by credit card, anyone have
this exeperience?  thank you very much my friends everyone.

 

Best regards

andy

I am not too sure how that would work across boarders and in
particular, the US and China if someone didn't keep up their end of
the bargain.
