In global scientific equipment trade, overcoming challenges builds lasting partnerships. Dr. Siavash Sattar’s collaboration with SKZ—spanning an Alibaba inquiry to repeat business intent—proves how responsiveness and integrity turn obstacles into opportunities. Here’s the streamlined story of their successful
SKZ1052 DSC partnership.
Dr. Siavash Sattar, a university researcher, found SKZ on Alibaba and inquired about the SKZ1052 DSC (
Differential Scanning Calorimeter)—seeking price, delivery timelines, and technical details. Preferring formal email communication (standard for academic clients), we transitioned to detailed exchanges, aligning with his need for structured, documented discussions.
Dr. Sattar required in-depth insights to validate the instrument for his lab’s thermal analysis research. Our team delivered:
-
Full Specifications: Temperature range (-100°C to 600°C), heating rate, and precision details.
-
Practical Guidance: Step-by-step experiment workflows, accessory lists (sample pans, calibration kits), and lab environment requirements.
-
Tailored Support: Answers to material-specific (polymers, pharmaceuticals) use-case questions.
Impressed by our expertise, Dr. Sattar submitted a budget request to his university’s procurement department.
By March, the university’s procurement team issued a formal PO for the SKZ1052 DSC. Dr. Sattar promptly sent a 50% advance payment, and our manufacturing team initiated production—sharing progress updates and calibration photos to keep him informed.
As the SKZ1052 neared shipment, U.S.-China trade tensions led to a sudden 155% tariff hike on the instrument. Under the original CPT terms, Dr. Sattar faced duties exceeding 1.5x the product value—far beyond his budget. He notified us of potential refund plans due to the unforeseen cost burden.
Prioritizing Dr. Sattar’s satisfaction, we acted swiftly:
-
Reassurance: Committed to finding a solution without requiring refunds.
-
Logistics Outreach: Secured a DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping partner to cover all tariffs, taxes, and logistics.
-
Cost Absorption: Absorbed the higher DDP shipping expenses to keep Dr. Sattar’s total cost unchanged.
Dr. Sattar praised our integrity: “SKZ’s commitment to my budget speaks volumes—this is partnership, not just business.”
After the SKZ1052 arrived, Dr. Sattar reported a missing USB with operating software. We immediately sent secure download links for the software, digital manuals, and tutorials—plus direct technical support contact—resolving the issue within hours.
With the SKZ1052 fully operational, Dr. Sattar expressed his satisfaction: “From inquiry to post-delivery support, SKZ exceeded expectations. The tariff solution and quick software assistance make you a trusted partner.” He confirmed eagerness to collaborate on future equipment needs.
