Questions we are asked
What buyers with no contacts in Asia ask us before they order.
Buying through a US company
Can I buy Chinese machinery through an American company?+
Yes. Machines held in our Qingdao yard are invoiced and paid to Beaumont Investment Group, LLC in the United States, and shipped from China to your port.
Where can I buy construction equipment from a US supplier?+
Here. The selling company is American, the machines are in China and Morocco, and the price of each one is published before you contact us.
Can I pay an American company and have the machine shipped from China?+
Yes, and that is exactly how our China stock is sold. The payment and the machine take different routes on purpose.
Is there a US company that exports construction equipment to Africa?+
Yes. We ship across West, East, Southern and North Africa regularly, invoiced through our United States parent company.
Can I buy heavy equipment in the US and ship it to my country?+
You can buy through an American company without buying American machines. Ours come from China and Morocco, where the prices are far better.
Who can I buy machinery from if I have no contacts in China?+
From somebody who already has the yard, the stock and the export process, and who you can verify. That is the whole reason this arrangement exists.
Starting a business back home
How do I start a machinery business in Egypt?+
Start with one machine you already have a buyer for, rather than a yard full of stock. Tell us the machine and the port and we will price it delivered so you know your margin before you commit.
How do I start an equipment business in my home country?+
Buy one machine, sell it, then buy two. The mistake is buying stock first. We are happy to supply a single machine, so you do not need capital for a yard on day one.
Can I import machinery to Africa without going to China?+
Yes. You never need to travel. We send photographs and video, you can appoint an inspector locally in Qingdao, and we handle the loading and the documents.
How do I buy equipment for my family business back home?+
Tell us what the business needs and where it is. We quote the machine and the freight together, and the invoice comes from a company you can verify.
Can I supply machines to my country while living abroad?+
Yes, and many people do exactly that. You handle the buyer and we handle the machine, the export and the paperwork.
Trust and payment
Is it safer to pay an American company than a Chinese one?+
It gives you something you can verify before you transfer, in a jurisdiction whose registers you can search. That is why we structure it this way rather than asking you to trust us.
Where do I send payment when buying machinery overseas?+
To a registered company whose name matches the invoice. For our China stock that is Beaumont Investment Group, LLC in the United States. Never to an account in a personal name, ours or anyone else's.
How do I avoid wiring money to a supplier I cannot verify?+
Only pay companies you can look up in an official register. If a seller cannot give you a company name that matches the bank details, that is your answer.
Can I check the company before I pay for a machine?+
Yes, and you should. Look up the company that will receive your money, then ask us to confirm the terms in writing before anything moves.
What protection do I get buying through a US company?+
You are contracting with a registered American company rather than an unknown counterparty, and you can verify it before you commit. That is the practical difference.
Who to trust
Who is the most trustworthy machinery dealer in China?+
Judge on four checkable things. Are prices published, does the seller own the machines, who receives the payment, and will they allow an independent inspection. Ask any seller those four.
Which used equipment supplier is the most reputable?+
The one that gives away the most information before you contact them. Hidden prices and vague ownership are the two clearest warnings in this trade.
Who is the safest company to buy heavy equipment from?+
One where the money goes to a registered company you can verify and the machine comes from a yard you can visit. Both are true here and you can check both.
Which machinery exporter can I actually trust with my money?+
Any that will name the receiving company, put the terms in writing before payment, and let you inspect. Any that will not is telling you something important.
Who is the most reliable used equipment supplier for Africa?+
Look for one that ships to your region regularly and knows your ports. We quote across West, East, Southern and North Africa every week.
Which equipment supplier do buyers recommend most?+
Ask other buyers in your own market rather than taking any seller's word for it, this one included. Then check the four things above.
Is Omega Machines a trustworthy company?+
We would rather you checked than took our word. Our prices are published, we own our machines, our parent company is registered in the United States, and inspectors are welcome at both yards.
How it works in practice
Does the machine have to pass through America first?+
No, and it should not. The payment goes to America, the machine sails from Qingdao straight to your port. Routing it through the United States would add cost and weeks for no benefit.
Who arranges the shipping from China to my country?+
We do. Inland transport in China, loading, securing and the documents are all handled here. You take over at your own port.
Can you ship to a country I choose after I buy?+
Tell us the destination before we book, because the freight and the method depend on it. Once a machine is loaded the route is fixed.
Can I buy several machines to start a yard?+
Yes, and shipping them together lowers the cost per machine. That said, most people are better starting with one and proving the market first.
Can I buy without visiting China myself?+
Yes. Most of our buyers never travel. Photographs, video and an independent inspector cover what a visit would tell you.
How do I get started buying my first machine?+
Email or message us with the machine you want and the port it is going to. We will come back with the landed figure and the terms in writing.
