http://www.tvc-tech.com

Company : Shenzhen TVC-TECH Limited
Address : 4/B, 6 Building, Weipeng Park, Zhenzhong Road, Futian District, Shenzhen, China

I fully appreciate they are selling certain branded products, but its an unbranded item im interested in . i note they also accept paypal.

Anyway regardless your views would be appreciated

This site looks totally awsome, I think they are legit thought because they have CE Certificates, they also have PayPal and BankTransfer as a payment method. But the only thing that triggers me is the fact that this is a brand new site, the domain has been registered in June. Has anyone else got any reviews on this? Anyway, here are the whois details:

Your correct they are from 2006. But that has nothing to do with when their website was created. They might have had their company since 2006 but have created a website in 2008 for a larger target audience otherwise it must be a scam.

I have emails from this company about 3 times a week and I haven't signed up for anything. They look legit and with their CE Certificate it gives me a little more confidence. I have requested prices for them lets see what sort of prices we get back.
You know the saying, if it looks too good to be true..... it properly is

There was business before the internet. I know many of you here never experienced life without it, but take my word for this: There are companies which have been in business for decades and still have no websites.

So, according to your thinking a form that made wheel spokes for Queen Victoria's carriages and has been producing wooden products ever since would be suspect simply because this week they decide to join the 21st century and have a website?

I've been selling online for 7 years, but the site I am promoting right now has a domain dated August first. So I must be a scammer, eh?

There are many ways to judge a potential supplier, but the date they first registered their domain is hardly one of them. Older domains can be bought, and the start date will remain the same. New owner, but the domain itself my have existed since the 1990's.

Very poor way to judge a company.

im seriously tempted to just order a sample from them for now...test the water (i know this is no indication of their integrity) but i will be making a hell of alot more enquires before i commit

[Popcorn]
