I wish I would have seen this article before I made the decision to purchase mobile phones from China. BlackBerry Storms to be exact, and 2 Macbook airs. $2800 I paid, haven't received anything.
Has anybody heard of xia men xin li electron commerce Co., Ltd.

This is the company that I sent money too. I guess the only thing to say is you live and learn. Don't order from them. They guys name is Rolly. But he is an "employee" of someone else. If his name is really Rolly. I feel so dumb. I doubt very seriously if I will every deal with another "gold verified" company on alibaba. I don't think it means anything other than the owners of alibaba got paid.
Quoting from [marcel11]:
Replying to [Ranger]:WATCH OUT I ORDERED SAMPLE MEMORY CARDS WORTH $800 USD AND THEY GAVE ME A TRUCKING NUMBER AND PACKAGE IS IN CUSTOMS, CUSTOMS REFUSE TO CLEAR THE GOODS AND SAID PACKAGE MUST BE DESTROYIED. LEO DONT CARE AND STOPS RESPONDING TO MY EMAILS/
WHAT I THINK THEY ARE SCAMMERS WHO PLAY LIKE THAT:
THEY DONT PUT YOUR PRODUCTS INTO THE PACKAGE THEY PUT SOME CRAP WORTH A DOLLAR AND THAT IS PROHIBITED AT THE BORDERS,THE CUSTOMS STOP THOSE ITEMS AND DESTROY THEM AND AND SUNSKY HAS CLEAN HANDS. THATS HOW THE SCAM PEOPLE.
IF YOU HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEM THEN CONTACT ME AND WE CAN RUIN THEM. MY AFFILIATES IN CHINA HAVE POLICE REPORTS FILED AGAINST THEM ALLREADY. AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR MORE EVIDENCE OF THIER MISCONDUCT. THEY SENT ME THE ITEMS IF THE ORDER IS 400 OR 300 DOLLARS BUT IF THE ORDER IS LARGE THEY SCAM U AND SEND YOU CRAP. THEY LURE YOU IN THEN STEAL FROM YOU. SOMETIMES THEY LOSE ON ITEMS JUST TO LURE YOU. YOU CANT EVEN BUY THIS CHEAP IN CHINA.

Quoting from [mrmicey]:
I am too new to alibaba. Looking for supplier of TomTom Go GPS systems and Console games. There seem to be lots and lots of them offering products at less than 1/2 price of what they'd sell in the North American market. Problem is they all want to be paid with Western Union (I wonder why ?), no credit card payment whatsoever accepted, no paypal. That's pretty scary, I'd say. All of them are giving hotmail or yahoo accounts. If they're so legit, why not give your ISP e-mail ? Has anyone actually established a good working relationship with any Asian country supplying the above ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I'm contacting with Malaysian and Indonesian compaies for buying A4 and A3 papers. and there are some companies offering good prices and they send me also their reg certificates. But I'm not sure that they are trustfull companies and I'm will get my order in quality and quantity. Can you advise if there are some trustfull intermediary companies whom we can order to make trading with that companies, to check them, inspect goods and make shipment to me?
Thanks,Alik / b2broyal@gmail.com

Hi
I've been very interested in reading both the initial article and all of the comments following. I am about to dip my toe in the importing pool and don't want to make any mistakes (may be harder than I thought!)![]()
Has anyone used the services of a third party inspection company to verify the company/ order before making full payment? One I'm looking into is "asiainspection.com". I would be interested to hear any stories about similar companies.
Also, can anyone recommend a reputable escrow company?
Thanks!!
