Had my first chance today to see how in some instances business gets done in China.We are bringing back to Toronto some chrome shelving next week (we don't need it in Shanghai) and since it requires professional packing we decided to see if China Post could help us out.
Henry our trusted driver and I walked into the local China Post office which I might add was packed with people mailing letters and parcels. After a quick chat and the exchange of two packs of cigarettes (one for the clerk, one for his boss) our racks were packed bundled and given back to me with a smile.
It isn't necessarily right but boy it sure works when everyone is on the same wave length. No postal strikes here in China and the two gentleman we dealt with were as happy as can be. Next time I visit a Canada Post office in Toronto I just might bring a pack or two of Rothmans and see where it gets me.
