Sourcing from China...input appreciated

[Tarquin]

Hello

I have seen a company on Alibaba that I am interested in their product(s)

The Company has been registered since 2009 and is a gold alibaba member.

 I have read that even though they are a gold member there is still the risks of scammers on Alibaba.

However they do offer a sample service and payment through Escrow.....

Just wondered if any of you have any thoughts.....your input would be appreciated!

Many Thanks

Make sure any Escrow is picked by you and is a recognised company
Ali Baba and the 4 billion thieves
Never Pay for anything With western Union or Bank transfer unless you get to now and trust the company - verified Paypal account is best.
Put a link up to the company, some on here have got a lot of experience with Chinese companies and some know who to avoid, you are right not to trust Alibaba though as Gold really only means the seller has paid them a fee

I see cyltech charges 7% plus shipping if using paypal remember to factor that in as well aas the VAT and import charges when landing in this country

925e  - they seem to be making all the right noises and have been around for a long time - would still tend to make sure payment was by CC - again though factor in all your costs to ensure price is still viable.

Have been on Customs & Excise website for Taric codes etc......

As you say wise to do sums first before making a decision!

Many Thanks for your input!
