EXAMPLE OF SAVINGS!
One customer purchased 3 items: Chinoisorie Sideboard, Alter table and English Bombay dresser
Her total expense: cost of the trip, items, commission, delivery, exchange rate = $14,375
If she had purchased at a Hong Kong Retail store with delivery charges = $28,400
That's a savings of over $14,000 in one day. - just over 50%
A TYPICAL DAY TRIP
We meet at the 3rd floor Macau Ferry Terminal - East Departure Gate - at 8:10am
Ferry departs at 8:35 and arrives in Zhuhai in 70 minutes. By the time we are out of customs it's about 10-10:15
RMB can be achieved at the local ferry terminal cash machines. Suggestion is to get what you need before departure at your local bank. We cannot stop while out - we are not near banks.
It takes about 30 minutes to get to our first factory.
We can achieve as many as 4-5 factories if we return on the 7:30 ferry. In the fall, with less daylight, we return on the 6pm ferry.
The time allotted for each factory is about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
If we don't see all the factories and you want to stroll the market place - we can do this for 1 hour. It's a good place to have the picnic lunch.
When returning on the 6pm ferry - we need to leave the factories about 4:45pm because of rush hour. We land in HK and out of customs about 7:30pm. When departing on the 7:30pm ferry - we can leave the factories about 6:15 and out of HK customs about 9pm.
