How does Triton ensure quality?
Simply put, Triton guarantees the quality of our products. We take the following steps to make sure quality is not sacrificed for low price.

In which countries are Triton's vendors located?
Although Triton maintains a few suppliers in India, Vietnam and Russia, Chinese suppliers typically offer the most competitive overall package, thanks to low labor rates, a large and disciplined workforce, abundant raw materials and resources, a well-developed industrial infrastructure, and increasing Internet usage.
What about delivery times for offshore manufacturing?
Careful customer planning and early ordering that allows for five to six weeks shipping can have your parts where you need them when you need them. Time-sensitive orders can be expedited through UPS express or a combination of air and sea transport. Due to our large buying volume, Triton can obtain big discount from UPS and major airline carriers that offer favorable rate to reduce air freight cost. Triton also offers local warehousing options in the US to maintain inventory so that orders can be delivered within a few days.
