**ange1273** · 05-02-2009, 09:22 PM

Hi been on a few websites looking to buy some clothing and footwear from china and i am not sure which ones are ligit,as i have been on fraudwatchers and there are loads of scammers,i have never bought from abroad before and am not sure who to trust,i would be very happy if someone could point me in the right direction and give me some information on any good suppliers in china,i have just read so many horror stories and am a little worried that i will chose the wrong one.
Has anyone got anything good to report back and reccomend a good supplier,if anyone could help me with this i will be very grateful
thanks ange

I also came across http://www.made-in-china.com the other day. They seem to be the china equivalent of hktdc.com

Anyone used made-in-china.com ?

There's scammers and sellers of counterfeit goods on the made-in-china website.You still have to do your own research on the companies!

Yes and they also publish a highly detailed (and slightly pricey) Magazine on sourcing from China depending on the product category you are looking to import.

There is also Alibaba.com and made-in-china.com
However, they are filled with scammers and thieves so make sure and do your due diligence prior to sending any money, and it is ALWAYS a smart idea to get yourself an agent in China. :niceone:

An agent can do the factory and product inspections prior to your purchase, AND they can arrange LCL's shipments for you.
