Quoting from [sgmo666]:Hello,
I need some help to advice, what should to do, please help!!!
I have found by alibaba a seller, whose is based in UK and I am still checking, whether the phone, fax-no and address is right or not. Anyway, he prefered, that the shipping/payment will be made using by "aplus-transport.com". Does anyone know this kind of shipping/payment transaction? Is it 100 % safe?
DO NOT TRUST THEM - THERE ARE FRAUDSTERS
For an English company their website is full of bad english and spelling mistakes and bad coding.
T/T is a onesided not secure term of payment. Many sellers wants T/T mode of payment for thier advantage to make sure they have the ACES before the deliver the products. It's a matter of trust to the part of the buyer to conform with the seller requirement to pay on T/T mode.
In my opinion L/C is fair to both parties involved in regards to worldwide trading. A little expensive but you can add it to the cost of the products.
i agree to both Terry and Angie's opinion !
Our company exports office furniture !
If the order quantity is small ,it is inconvinience by L/C. it is more perferable by T/T.
For small amount,advice use T/T ,as you known,bank charge is very expensive to your L/c. For large amount,advice use L/c for payment .

Here comes how we are going to do :
1. Seller will ship the products with : aplus-transport.com.
2. They will contact me and let me know that I sent you the products and the
status of the products .
3.I will transfer the money to aplus-transport.com.
4.I will receive the products and check them , test them etc.
5. I have 5 days to inspect the goods. I must confirm to aplus-transport.com
that the products are as I expected to be so seller can receive my money from them.If I am not satisfied of the products he sent , they will come , pick up the
products and give all my money back. Seller will have to pay again the shipping
taxes to receive the products back .Do anybody know and had good experience with aplus-transport.com? Is this way better than escrow??
Thanks for your help in advanced.

Dear Helen, Although it sounds very fair but I never heard of aplus-transport.com?
Contact the chamber of commerce in your residence first before you accept any unknown deal's conditions. All the best.
Quoting from [sharon]:If this is a initial deal, be careful.
In my opionin, L/C is the most secure ways, but cost much.
Oh, Our factory is an underwear garment factory registered in Hong Kong and have factory in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China Mainland. Anyone who like to import underwear products, our factory is not a bad choice!
Dear Sharon,
I am interested in your companies products. Please contact me at info@sabcontrading.com, thank you.

Hi guys. These days I have been searching serious sellers over the net. Sadly, there are half of them ask me to use Western Union. (Yes, scammers) There are other 50% only accept using T/T payment. I am just curious why sellers do not accept L/C or escrow? Are they all scammers? Is it really secure to use T/T payment to pay some one oversea?
Thank you very much. =) Wish this post can help other buyers too. =)

T/T is very secure, but does not insure that you will receive products. Once sent, that is it. Like handing over cash.
