Is this a Scam?
Post 1 of 9
I am in the process of organising a sample order with Yongkang Haili Industrial Co., Ltd. which is a Gold Supplier
However, when they sent the invoice to me the company I am required to pay is ZHEJIANG YONGKANG FOREIGN ECONOMY AND TRADE CORP. who are NOT Gold Members
Does this sound like a scam.
Any help is appreciated

Hallo,
in many cases it is usual that chinese manufacturer use an Export Company, if they have no own Export license.
In case of a small sample order and when you have real interest you should try it.
If you have more doubts, mail the main supplier for your security,to confirm you by mail, that they use the export company as helper for export. If than problems will occur you can use this mail for a complaint against them with Alibaba, they will mediate in such cases when gold suppliers are involved.

I am going through the same thing, i am purchasing a sample order and have recieved a invoice from the same company. The owner has sent me an email explaining that this company exports for them as they cannot. Still am investigating though.
Hope that helps.

Hi kcimport
I eventually placed a sample order. They said it shipped out on Oct 17th. So will have to wait and see. I will keep you informed.

Replying to [legend]: It is not a Scam.! You said that you receive a sample but not the name of the company that you request to sent is it? OK, in that case, the company is a trading company not a manufacturer, so maybe the one that give the sample to you is their manufacturer, as you said that the gold member of alibaba is a trading company.. Thats why the Trading Company give the address to the free member, ask that sent a sample to this company for tasting. Hope that my answer help you to thinks.. Thank you..![[em19]](http://img.alibaba.com/images/eng/style/icon/emoticons_great.gif)

The time this happens is if you have made an order from another company too, or they buy from another company and send you money to a trade company, this is normal.
