you won't know until A. you been scammed by them
B. do a proper supplier audit or at least a factory visit

That's all i can suggest

Hope it helps

we should know more details about a company no matter you are a buyer or seller.

Quoting from [samik]:

I want to buy some musical Instruments from China. But can any body tell me how can I be sure that the importer is authenticated? I've read about the scammers here. Also I want to know all costs and rules to import from China to India (Kolkata).

i would like to order some underwear to make business, but i don't know if i can make confident on them, i don't know where my money go, with who i have to make business. That look uncredible...naomi

It' s safe way to send one friend local to visit them before you transfer your money,

good luck for you

Very good advice. Thanks for your help!

Check sample first, then check the factory.

I HAVE ORDERED ONE 46 LCD FROM ONE OF THE SUPPLIER FROM CHINA WHOM I MEET THROUGH ALIBABA.COM

I HAVE POST ONE ENQUIRY ABOUT THE 46 LCD ON ALIBABA.COM

AND AFTER THAT THAT PERSON CONTACTED ME AND HE SAYS THAT I DEPOSIT MONEY IN HIS ACCOUNT AND HE WILL SEND ME THE LCD IN FIVE WORKING DAYS . I HAVE DEPOSITED THE MONEY IN HIS ACCOUNT ON 19 MAR 2009 BUT I HAVENT RECEVED ANY THING .

I M ALSO SENDING U HIS DETAILS AND THE COPY OF CONVERSATION WHICH I HAVE WITH HIM.

good luck
