My first ever Android Smartphone - Busted (Cherry Mobile Jelly) [feat. my Paper Dolls]

DeviantART version → [CLICK ME!]

Hello, August... 🏫🎒 It's been a rough and depressing month for me from nothing to earn funds for myself, to struggling with my life staying at home. 😟😞 Although I do occasionally go outside to get some fresh air when the sun is bright, it remains the same. 😔 I'm still stuck on my mom's slow-performance laptop, and I can't make item reviews because of the aforementioned laptop. 👩💻 Meanwhile, I'm still browsing some job openings, though the only problem was the "lack of trustworthy". I did apply once and I was going to go anyway, however, my mom investigated the details of where the venue at for a schedule, and it turns out that the job that I applied for was a sham... Yeah, I dodged the bullet on going there owning to my flashbacks of what happened in 2019. *Sigh* So much for that... 😟 I wish this type of fraud job would be ended by the time the government and authorities caught red-handed on fake application jobs. Right now, I've already applied for a job by submitting a resume to legit hiring via email, and to this day nobody answered my call. I'm still a helper for my parents' small rug business, although they didn't give me a raise, but small treats and food. Also, I'm selling my scrap computer parts, unfortunately, nobody seemed to be interested in my items... Bummer. 😔

[I want a end my life... But, I refused to kill myself. Not yet... 😟😞]

Should I keep posting and sharing my items on tumblr? 🤔 I'm still thinking about it, but for now this could be my last item... As we hit the first "Ber" month (September 📆), I need to take a break from posting it until my custom PC desktop brought back to life with a brand new GPU Card. 🖥️🔧

Anyway, let's head back to my last item (before I go *semi* hiatus):

• What I have here is my first ever cheap Android Smartphone after I graduated from vocational college [Computer Programing] in 2014. 👨‍🎓🏫💻 This here is the "Cherry Mobile Jelly". 🤖📱 Actually, it's now simply called "Cherry" which we'll get to that later. Nonetheless, I bought this cheap and small smartphone for ₱ 2,299 💵 from a local trustworthy cellular phone store at the mall, I should it picked the blue color because I loved that color for life 💙, although it is out of stock so I guess I'll settle with green anyway. 🟩📱🤷‍♀️ (After all, green signifies an android phone, right? 🟩🤖📲 Nonetheless...) As for the specs of this phone, it is pretty low-profile standard considering that this is a budget-friendly smartphone. Here, go see it by click here → [CLICK ME! #1]. Unfortunately, as you can see, my first cheap smartphone ended in 2015 due to poor quality, as I accidentally fell off my phone numerous times causing it to crack the touch screen (not to mention, the battery phone had bloated.), and my Jelly phone ended its life. It was only a matter of time before my old phone was replaced by the outdated "Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2" [GT-S7582] (which was also decommissioned somewhere in 2019). As for the so-called "Cherry" brand, they're still producing smartphones albeit a small ranges because they've already expanded to daily electronic appliances (e.g. slim smart TV, washing machine, air purifier, etc...). Pls, click here to see → [CLICK ME! #2]. One more thing, the only feature really I missed from using the old Cherry Mobile Jelly is the ability to watch TV by raising the mini antenna and opening the TV app, as you've seen on my snapshot. 📺📲😊

• When it comes to comparison with my current Tecno Spark 20 Pro [CLICK ME!] smartphone, well... You noticed the BIG difference. 📱📲 To be honest, I missed holding a small Android smartphone, as holding it could be a very advantage (which is like holding an old MP4 player) over a tall and bulky smartphone, like my aforementioned Tecno mobile brand. 😊 And surprisingly, they're still producing small smartphones albeit in ✌"Made in China"✌ and they're using a vanilla yet recent Android Operating System, unlike Samsung, Huawei, Oppo, Xiaomi, and other giant smartphone brands with their state-of-the-art features and current running Android OS. Maybe someday I'll get my hands on the small Android phone for a nostalgic sake? Who knows? 🤷‍♀️ For now, though, I guess I'll stick with the taller smartphones. And as for my first ever owned cheap Android phone, it's already a relic of its time. Time for you to return to the memorabilia box. 🙂

Well, that's all for now. If you want to see my previous topic, then please → [CLICK ME!].

[mariacallous]

Shortly before noon on Aug. 19, 2023, a Russian cruise missile sliced past the golden onion domes and squat apartment blocks of the Chernihiv skyline in northern Ukraine. The Iskander-K missile slammed into its target: the city’s drama theater, which was hosting a meeting of drone manufacturers at the time of the attack. More than 140 people were injured and seven killed. The youngest, 6-year-old Sofia Golynska, had been playing in a nearby park.

Fragments of the missile recovered by the Ukrainian armed forces and analyzed by Ukrainian researchers found numerous components made by U.S. manufacturers in the missile’s onboard navigation system, which enabled it to reach its target with devastating precision. In December, Ukraine’s state anti-corruption agency released an online database of the thousands of foreign-made components recovered from Russian weapons so far.

Russia’s struggle to produce the advanced semiconductors, electrical components, and machine tools needed to fuel its defense industrial base predates the current war and has left it reliant on imports even amid its estrangement from the West. So when Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, major manufacturing countries from North America, Europe, and East Asia swiftly imposed export controls on a broad swath of items deemed critical for the Russian arms industry.

Russia quickly became the world’s most sanctioned country: Some 16,000 people and companies were subject to a patchwork of international sanctions and export control orders imposed by a coalition of 39 countries. Export restrictions were painted with such a broad brush that sunglasses, contact lenses, and false teeth were also swept up in the prohibitions. Even items manufactured overseas by foreign companies are prohibited from being sold to Russia if they are made with U.S. tools or software, under a regulation known as the foreign direct product rule.

But as the war reaches its two-year anniversary, export controls have failed to stem the flow of advanced electronics and machinery making their way into Russia as new and convoluted supply chains have been forged through third countries such as Kazakhstan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, which are not party to the export control efforts. An investigation by Nikkei Asia found a tenfold increase in the export of semiconductors from China and Hong Kong to Russia in the immediate aftermath of the war—the majority of them from U.S. manufacturers.

“Life finds a way,” said a senior U.S. intelligence official, quoting the movie Jurassic Park. The official spoke on background to discuss Russia’s evasion of export controls.

Some of the weapons and components analyzed by investigators were likely stockpiled before the war. But widely available Russian trade data reveals a brisk business in imports. More than $1 billion worth of advanced semiconductors from U.S. and European manufacturers made their way into the country last year, according to classified Russian customs service data obtained by Bloomberg. A recent report by the Kyiv School of Economics found that imports of components considered critical for the battlefield had dipped by just 10 percent during the first 10 months of 2023, compared with prewar levels.

This has created a Kafkaesque scenario, the report notes, in which the Ukrainian army is doing battle with Western weapons against a Russian arsenal that also runs on Western components.

It is an obvious problem, well documented by numerous think tank and media reports, but one without an easy solution. Tracking illicit trade in items such as semiconductors is an exponentially greater challenge than monitoring shipments of conventional weapons. Around 1 trillion chips are produced every year. Found in credit cards, toasters, tanks, missile systems, and much, much more, they power the global economy as well as the Russian military. Cutting Russia out of the global supply chain for semiconductors is easier said than done.

“Both Russia and China, and basically all militaries, are using a large number of consumer electronic components in their systems,” said Chris Miller, the author of Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology. “All of the world’s militaries rely on the same supply chain, which is the supply chain that primarily services consumer electronics.”

Export controls were once neatly tailored to keep specific items, such as nuclear technology, out of the hands of rogue states and terrorist groups. But as Washington vies for technological supremacy with Beijing while also seeking to contain Russia and Iran, it has increasingly used these trade restrictions to advance broader U.S. strategic objectives. For instance, the Biden administration has placed wide-ranging prohibitions on the export of advanced chips to China.

“At no point in history have export controls been more central to our collective security than right now,” Matthew Axelrod, the assistant secretary for export enforcement at the U.S. Commerce Department, said in a speech last September. U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has described export controls as “a new strategic asset in the U.S. and allied toolkit.”

Russia’s ability to defy these restrictions doesn’t just have implications for the war in Ukraine. It also raises significant questions about the challenge ahead vis-à-vis China.

“The technological question becomes a key part of this story and whether or not we can restrict it from our adversaries,” said James Byrne, the director of open-source intelligence and analysis at the Royal United Services Institute, a British think tank.

In the Russian city of Izhevsk, home to the factory that manufactures Kalashnikov rifles, shopping malls are being converted into drone factories amid a surge in defense spending that has helped the country’s economy weather its Western estrangement. Arms manufacturers have been urged to work around the clock to feed the Russian war machine, while defense is set to account for one-third of the state budget this year.

“We have developed a concept to convert shopping centers—which, before the start of the SMO [special military operation], sold mainly the products of Western brands—to factories for assembly lines of types of domestic drones,” Alexander Zakharov, the chief designer of the Zala Aero drone company, said at a closed event in August 2022, according to the Russian business newspaper Vedomosti. “Special military operation” is what the Russian government calls its war on Ukraine. Zala Aero is a subsidiary of the Kalashnikov Concern that, along with Zakharov, was sanctioned by the United States last November.

Defense companies have bought at least three shopping malls in Izhevsk to be repurposed for the manufacture of drones, according to local media, including Lancet attack drones, which the British defense ministry described as one of the most effective new weapons that Russia introduced to the battlefield last year. Lancets, which cost about $35,000 to produce, wreaked havoc during Ukraine’s offensive last year and have been captured on video striking valuable Ukrainian tanks and parked MiG fighter jets.

Like a lot of Russia’s weapons systems, Lancets are filled with Western components. An analysis of images of the drones published in December by the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security found that they contained several parts from U.S., Swiss, and Czech manufacturers, including image processing and analytical components that play a pivotal role in enabling the drones to reach their targets on the battlefield.

“The recurring appearance of these Western products in Russian drone systems shows a keen dependence on them for key capabilities in the drone systems,” the report notes. Lancets are not the only drones found to contain Western components. Almost all of the electronic components in the Iranian Shahed-136 drones, which Russia is now manufacturing with Iranian help to use in Ukraine, are of Western origin, a separate analysis published in November concluded.

Early in the war, the Royal United Services Institute analyzed 27 Russian military systems, including cruise missiles, electronic warfare complexes, and communications systems, and found that they contained at least 450 foreign-made components, revealing Russia’s dependence on imports.

One of the principal ways that Russia has evaded Western export controls has been through transshipment via third countries such as Turkey, the UAE, and neighboring states once part of the Soviet Union. Bloomberg reported last November that amid mounting Western pressure, the UAE had agreed to restrict the export of sensitive goods to Russia and that Turkey was considering a similar move. Kazakh officials announced a ban on the export of certain battlefield goods to Russia in October.

Suspected transshipment is often revealed by striking changes in trade patterns before and after the invasion. The Maldives, an island chain in the Indian Ocean that has no domestic semiconductor industry, shipped almost $54 million worth of U.S.-made semiconductors to Russia in the year after the invasion of Ukraine, Nikkei Asia reported last July.

Semiconductor supply chains often span several countries, with chips designed in one country and manufactured in another before being sold to a series of downstream distributors around the world. That makes it difficult for companies to know the ultimate end user of their products. This may seem odd—until you realize that this is the case for many everyday products that are sold around the world. “When Coca-Cola sells Coca-Cola, it doesn’t know where every bottle goes, and they don’t have systems to track where every bottle goes,” said Kevin Wolf, a former assistant secretary for export administration at the U.S. Commerce Department.

While a coalition of 39 countries, including the world’s major manufacturers of advanced electronics, imposed export restrictions on Russia, much of the rest of the world continues to trade freely with Moscow. Components manufactured in coalition countries will often begin their journey to Moscow’s weapons factories through a series of entirely legal transactions before ending up with a final distributor that takes them across the border into Russia. “It starts off as licit trade and ends up as illicit trade,” said a second senior U.S. intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The further items move down the supply chain, the less insight governments and companies have into their ultimate destination, although sudden changes in behavior of importers can offer a red flag. In his speech last September, Axelrod, the assistant secretary, used the example of a beauty salon that suddenly starts to import electronic components.

But the Grand Canyon of loopholes is China, which has stood by Moscow since the invasion. In the first days of the war, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo warned that Washington could shut down Chinese companies that ignored semiconductor export controls placed on Russia. Last October, 42 Chinese companies were added to export control lists—severely undercutting their ability to do business with U.S. companies—for supplying Russian defense manufacturers with U.S. chips.

But as the Biden administration carefully calibrates its China policy in a bid to keep a lid on escalating tensions, it has held off from taking Beijing to task. “I think the biggest issue is that we—the West—have been unwilling to put pressure on China that would get China to start enforcing some of these rules itself,” said Miller, the author of Chip Wars.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) said: “Due to the restrictions imposed by the United States and key allies and partners, Russia has been left with no choice but to spend more, lower its ambitions for high-tech weaponry, build alliances with other international pariah states, and develop nefarious trade networks to covertly obtain the technologies it needs.

“We are deeply concerned regarding [Chinese] support for Russia’s defense industrial base. BIS has acted to add over 100 [China]-based entities to the Entity List for supporting Russia’s military industrial base and related activities.”

Export controls have typically focused on keeping specific U.S.-made goods out of the hands of adversaries, while economic and financial sanctions have served broader foreign-policy objectives of isolating rogue states and cauterizing the financing of terrorist groups and drug cartels. The use of sanctions as a national security tool grew in wake of the 9/11 attacks; in the intervening decades, companies, government agencies, and financial institutions have built up a wealth of experience in sanctions compliance. By contrast, the use of export controls for strategic ends is relatively novel, and compliance expertise is still in its infancy.

“It used to be that people like me could keep export controls and sanctions in one person’s head. The level of complexity for each area of law is so intense. I don’t know anyone who is truly an export control and sanctions expert,” Wolf said.

Export controls, experts say, are at best speed bumps designed to make it harder for Russia’s defense industrial base to procure Western components. They create “extra friction and pressure on the Russian economy,” said Daniel Fried, who as the State Department coordinator for sanctions policy helped craft U.S. sanctions on Russia after its annexation of Crimea in 2014. Russia is now paying 80 percent more to import semiconductors than it did before the war, according to forthcoming research by Miller, and the components it is able to acquire are often of dubious quality.

But although it may be more cumbersome and expensive, it’s a cost that Moscow has been willing to bear in its war on Ukraine.

Western components—and lots of them—will continue to be found in the weapons Russia uses on Ukraine’s battlefields for the duration of the war. “This problem is as old as export controls are,” said Jasper Helder, an expert on export controls and sanctions with the law firm Akin Gump. But there are ways to further plug the gaps.

Steeper penalties could incentivize U.S. companies to take a more proactive role in ensuring their products don’t wind up in the hands of the Russian military, said Elina Ribakova, a nonresident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “At the moment, they’re not truly motivated,” she said.

Companies that run afoul of sanctions and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a U.S. federal law that prohibits the payment of bribes, have been fined billions of dollars. Settlements of export control violations are often an order of magnitude smaller, according to recently published research.

In a speech last month, Axelrod said the United States would begin issuing steeper penalties for export control violations. “Build one case against one of the companies extremely well, put out a multibillion-dollar fine negotiation, and watch everybody else fall in line,” Ribakova said.

And then there’s the question of resources. BIS has an annual budget of just $200 million. “That’s like the cost of a few fighter jets. Come on,” said Raimondo, speaking at the Reagan National Defense Forum last December.

The agency’s core budget for export control has, adjusted for inflation, remained flat since 2010, while its workload has surged. Between 2014 and 2022, the volume of U.S. exports subject to licensing scrutiny increased by 126 percent, according to an agency spokesperson. A 2022 study of export control enforcement by the Center for Strategic and International Studies recommended a budget increase of $45 million annually, describing it as “one of the best opportunities available anywhere in U.S. national security.”

When it comes to enforcement, the bureau has about 150 officers across the country who work with law enforcement and conduct outreach to companies. The Commerce Department has also established a task force with the Justice Department to keep advanced technologies out of the hands of Russia, China, and Iran. “The U.S. has the most robust export enforcement on the planet,” Wolf said.

But compared with other law enforcement and national security agencies, the bureau’s budgets have not kept pace with its expanding mission. The Department of Homeland Security has more investigators in the city of Tampa, Florida, than BIS does across the entire country, Axelrod noted in his January speech.

On the other side, you have Russia, which is extremely motivated to acquire the critical technologies it needs to continue to prosecute its war. The Kremlin has tasked its intelligence agencies with finding ways around sanctions and export controls, U.S. Treasury Undersecretary Brian Nelson said in a speech last year. “We are not talking about a profit-seeking firm looking for efficiencies,” the second senior U.S. intelligence official said. “There will be supply if there is sufficient demand.”

[candy-floss-crazy]

Another of our classic lines, cotton candy. Or as we call it in the UK, candy floss, our Aussie cousins fairy floss, and in various parts of the world papas beard, spider sugar and even Ghosts breath. Well today is national cotton candy day. Invented in 1897 by Dr. William Morrison an American dentist. Who perhaps was taking the long term view of drumming up more customers for his main profession. Its made by spinning a drum at high speed full of sugar. Around the perimeter of the drum is a mesh heating element. The sugar is heated to 186C where it melts and begin to ooze through the holes in the mesh. It instantly solidifies into long thin strands thinner than a human hair. The only real ingredient is sugar, with a tiny amount of powdered food colouring to change its colour and flavour. New Adult Flavoured Candy Floss Traditionally candy floss has had flavours such as strawberry, apple and so on. New for 2020 we are launching a range of adult orientated flavours. The initial batches will be Gin and Tonic, Sherry and Prosecco. We hope to add brandy and rum in the near future. World Record In June 2009 a candy floss 1400 metres long was made, entering the Guinness Book of Records. This culinary delight took over 6 hours to make. There are even vending machines available now that make a candy floss for you. In China, the street vendors make stunning flowers and other shapes using just candy floss. Candy Floss Carts were the very first offering we had when we launched the company. It is still one of our most popular lines, and is quite often hired with popcorn as an extra. You can choose from a range of carts and bars to serve candy floss from, with our original Victorian style carts the most popular. Victorian Catering Cart Read the full article

Crisis-hit EV battery maker Northvolt struggles to meet production targets

Northvolt failed to meet plans by curtailing production at its battery cell plant in northern Sweden, according to Reuters.

Since early September, the company has consistently failed to meet weekly battery production targets deemed good enough to deliver to customers, according to two unpublished documents.

The documents state a target of 51,000 cells delivered in one week by the end of 2024. However, Northvolt said in response to the appeal that the targets were set on 5 September and were “long out of date.” The company also did not specify its current production targets, which it said were based on contracted customer deliveries.

Hailed as Europe’s best chance to weaken China’s overwhelming dominance of the electric vehicle (EV) battery market, Northvolt laid off a fifth of its global workforce and cut its operations in September to stay afloat. The Swedish company, headed by former Tesla executive Peter Carlsson, has yet to turn a profit.

Northvolt is discussing the possibility of filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the US. The company lost a €2 billion ($2.1 billion) contract with BMW in June due to delays in deliveries and its inability to produce sufficient volumes of high-quality batteries.

The plan is currently under review based on the execution of our strategic review, which has influence on the way we operate our main facility Northvolt Ett.

The company publicly launched the strategic review in July and began publishing the results from 9 September. The main actions taken as part of the review included adjusting customer orders and reducing shifts.

This is a very challenging industry. However, we have made great progress through this year, to the point that today we are consistently, week-on-week producing high-performance cells for our customers.

In September, Northvolt said it had tripled its cell manufacturing volumes since the beginning of the year. However, weekly production reports showed that the company collected more than 51,000 serviceable batteries per week only once, between late August and early November.

For machines that are in serial production, we have very good levels of performance. Naturally, following installation we have a period of commissioning, during which machines are fine-tuned and calibrated.

Battery experts say that production levels can fluctuate on a weekly basis. Manufacturing batteries is a delicate process, and scaling it up is widely recognised by experts as a major challenge for any battery manufacturer. However, despite the challenges, Northvolt is still ahead of other European battery makers.

Increasing production and reducing costs with Smartjet

Facing intense competition and the need to maintain high-quality yarn production, Wugang Longshan Textile Technology Co. Ltd. partnered with Rieter to implement the innovative Smartjet power nozzle technology for their automatic winding machine Autoconer X5. This upgrade boosted machine efficiency by up to 3%, reduced operator workload and cut conversion costs, enabling Wugang Longshan Textile Co. Ltd. to strengthen their market position.

Rieter’s customer, Wugang Longshan Textile Technology Co. Ltd., located in Pingdingshan, Henan, China, operates with a substantial capacity of 360 000 spindles. Founded in 1988, it is a leading supplier of high-quality yarn in the market. Wugang Longshan Textile Technology Co. Ltd. is a subsidiary of Wugang Yinglong Group which has a total capacity of 700 000 spindles and specializes in producing compact cotton yarn in a yarn count range of Ne 32 to Ne 80, with an annual output of 60 000 tons of weaving and knitting yarn. Their average yarn count is Ne 45, and they consume around 70 000 tons of cotton annually. Additionally, they operate 2 160 rotor spinning units.

Coping with challenging market dynamics

In the face of intense competition and declining yarn prices, Wugang Longshan Textile Technology Co. Ltd. was looking for upgrades and conversions to reduce operational costs. They aim to be cost competitive without compromising on yarn quality.

Increased machine efficiency lowers conversion costs

Rieter’s after-sales team worked closely with Wugang Longshan Textile Technology Co. Ltd. to understand their specific challenges and needs. In March 2024, the Rieter team installed Smartjet conversions on three winding machines Autoconer X5. This upgrade included introducing additional parts to enhance machine performance. The installation of the first batch of Smartjet power nozzles on the existing doffer unit significantly reduced downtime and the frequency of red lights on the machines. Smartjet functions as a search device, improving the success rate of upper yarn end manually searches by 51%. This technology supports the suction nozzle in picking up upper yarn ends that would otherwise be missed. The increased efficiency in yarn end searches translates directly to higher machine efficiency and reduced downtime. Impressed with the initial results, Wugang Longshan Textile Technology Co. Ltd. ordered the Smartjet upgrade for another ten Autoconer X5.

Smartjet helps improve yarn production and reduce labor cost

The Smartjet nozzles had a profound impact on the efficiency, productivity and labor cost of Wugang Longshan Textile’s operations:

Machine efficiency rose from 80% to 83%, translating to an increase in production to 21 kg per machine per eight-hour shift.

Annual yarn production expanded by 20 790 kg.

The demand for manual yarn searching was reduced by 51%, significantly lowering the operators’ workload.

Operators were able to manage one additional winding machine, thereby reducing labor costs.

The energy cost per kilogram of yarn was reduced due to increased efficiency.

With the Smartjet nozzle upgrade, not only did production increase, but the need for manual intervention was greatly diminished too. This allowed operators to handle more winding machines simultaneously, effectively lowering labor costs. Additionally, the increased production efficiency led to a reduction in energy consumption per kilogram of yarn produced. These improvements in turn lowered conversion costs which made the customer cost competitive.

”The Smartjet nozzle strengthens our market position significantly. It helps reduce operator workload and conversion costs while increasing yarn production. The retrofit of the Smartjet power nozzle on the doffer has been a game-changer for our operations, enhancing our productivity and reducing overall costs. Wang Ping, Chief Engineer at Wugang Yinglong Group.”

Saleh's Shipment to Saudi Arabia: Factories Far Apart, Only We Could Quickly Consolidate Without Delaying the Deadline

Saleh's Shipment to Saudi Arabia: Factories Far Apart, Only We Could Quickly Consolidate Without Delaying the Deadline

On May 8, 2022, a Saudi client named Saleh found me online. He was extremely anxious as he was looking for a logistics company to consolidate his shipment to King Abdullah Port, Saudi Arabia.

Saleh had two suppliers, but unfortunately, the two factories were very far from each other. He wanted to consolidate the goods from both suppliers into one container for shipment. However, he had no idea how to organize the shipment and was struggling to find a reliable freight forwarder China to Saudi Arabia.

Saleh explained that the goods from Factory A and Factory B were evenly split. Factory A’s cargo was heavy and included some loose items, while Factory B’s goods were light and mostly in cartons.

I reassured Saleh that Sunny Worldwide Logistics has its own fleet of trucks, something only 10% of companies in the industry have. Another key factor for overseas customers choosing a freight forwarder China to Saudi Arabia is that the forwarder must have its own warehouse. This allows full control over the logistics process, ensuring efficiency and high-quality management of the goods. We have a dedicated foreign trade warehouse at Yantian Port. Out of 60,000 logistics companies in Shenzhen, only three have such capabilities.

Saleh was convinced and asked me to arrange the shipment as soon as possible. The next day, he brought up an unexpected issue: Factory B's machines had broken down, causing a delay in production. Saleh was very stressed because his factory was about to halt production, and they needed these parts to continue operations. Otherwise, they would face a complete shutdown.

Understanding the urgency, I immediately contacted Factory B to determine the earliest possible time for pickup. Time was tight, and the logistics timeline was a significant challenge. If any step went wrong, the shipment would miss the boat. This delay tested both the time management and coordination skills of the freight forwarder.

I confirmed the ready times for both factories and then selected the nearest port to Factory A. Based on the estimated loading time, I secured a suitable vessel bound for Saudi Arabia. I pre-arranged for our trucks to be on standby at Factory B. As soon as production finished, the goods were immediately transported to Factory A, where both shipments were loaded into the container together.

This approach allowed Factory B’s goods to go directly into the container without needing to first unload them at Factory A’s warehouse. This saved on consolidation unloading fees and minimized the risk of damaged or lost goods. Additionally, by negotiating with Factory A to load both shipments on-site, we saved the client the cost of warehouse loading fees. Skipping the extra warehouse stop also significantly reduced consolidation time. We loaded at Factory A on the day of the shipping cutoff, and the vessel departed three days later— the fastest possible schedule after Factory B's goods were ready.

This consolidation plan made Saleh very happy, saving him both time and money. He was finally able to relax.

My clients are all quality-conscious. They understand the principle that you get what you pay for. While ensuring quality control, I also look for ways to help my clients save money. This is something only an experienced freight forwarder China to Saudi Arabia can do, and there aren’t many who can. Saleh is just one of my many clients needing consolidation services.

Many of my clients have encountered all kinds of issues with freight forwarders from China to Saudi Arabia—hidden costs, poor service, and unmet promises. Unfortunately, it's common for small operators to run businesses from tiny apartments with only two or three people, accepting any shipment, and disappearing when problems arise. That’s never the case with Sunny Worldwide Logistics. We operate from a full-floor, 1800-square-meter Grade A office in Shenzhen, ranking among the top 3% in the industry.

If you want to know more, check out my diary where I share stories about international shipping and the memorable moments we’ve had with our clients. Feel free to reach out if you need anything!

Invented in 1897 by Dr. William Morrison an American dentist. Who perhaps was taking the long term view of drumming up more customers for his main profession. Its made by spinning a drum at high speed full of sugar. Around the perimeter of the drum is a mesh heating element. The sugar is heated to 186C where it melts and begin to ooze through the holes in the mesh. It instantly solidifies into long thin strands thinner than a human hair. The only real ingredient is sugar, with a tiny amount of powdered food colouring to change its colour and flavour. New Adult Flavoured Candy Floss Traditionally candy floss has had flavours such as strawberry, apple and so on. New for 2020 we are launching a range of adult orientated flavours. The initial batches will be Gin and Tonic, Sherry and Prosecco. We hope to add brandy and rum in the near future. World Record In June 2009 a candy floss 1400 metres long was made, entering the Guinness Book of Records. This culinary delight took over 6 hours to make. There are even vending machines available now that make a candy floss for you. In China, the street vendors make stunning flowers and other shapes using just candy floss. Candy Floss Carts were the very first offering we had when we launched the company. It is still one of our most popular lines, and is quite often hired with popcorn as an extra. You can choose from a range of carts and bars to serve candy floss from, with our original Victorian style carts the most popular. Victorian Catering Cart Read the full article
