i have just read about 300 posts. and not one was about any chinese company doing the right thing. this alibaba is just nothing more than a cesspool for maggots preying on the greed of capitalist pig americans. sure we ar all greedy a little bit. but is it really too unreasonable to think that a person can create a relationship with a chinese wholesaler so they can turn a profit in the western world? i think not. what i find amazing is that every songle company is a scam. i have yet to hear one good thing about even one company and the larceny is widespread and alibaba moderates it without passing judgement. whatever you want to buy whoever you are and whatever market you are in do yourself a favor and only buy name brand goods from authorized name brand goods dealers. buy from them in bulk and be happy turning out single units for a 30% profit on ebay. you will NEVER make more than this nor will any real distributor aywhere in the world make more then 50% roi. just a bunch of wellmeaning folks trying to make an honest buck are getting chewed up and spit out by the **** machine. these zipperheads are ruthless. im tellin you take this site off of your favorites right now and dont ever look back. you will only get ripped off here. even if you knowingly buy fake goods it is still highly unlikely that they will ever be delivered to you. your money goes [poof] up in smoke.
heed this advice - you will find no better words of wisdom in this entire forum. beware the slimy ****. pure chinese dirt. heathen of the world. master of the underbelly of greed.
run, run, run.
Quoting from [Geordies]:Ladies and GentlemenI have spent days and days searching this site for information, facts, assurances and above all, common decency in business...
There are areas where you indeed won't find an honest business. I can't give you a list or a "golden rule", but for example brand-named consumer electronics are among the items you won't find in China. The manufacturing facilities may be there, but you can't buy from them. Or would you go to Detroit to buy a car from the factory?
So you have to have the knowledge of the market and a few other details, or you'll be "fair game" for scammers. Nobody - including Alibaba or these forums - can help you there. Unfortunately, that's a fact.
I rarely hear people talking about Incoterms or payment terms,everyone is looking to log on the net and make a purchase and make a 1000% profit without breaking a sweat,GOOD LUCK with that plan.
My advice learn about international trade,perform due dilligence on companies you are interested in dealing with,most of use your common sense
