No problems here. Ordered many items and they come along as promised. There are scammers on this site for sure and I have carefully avoided them. First I check their reviews in feedback and take into consideration their feedback score and compare it with how many successful transactions they have verses bad ones and how old. For instance they may have had a bad transaction six months ago but haven't had any problems since and have a hundred happy reviews. Their score may appear nasty and this is an example of a skewed score only by outward appearances. I would avoid those who keep dropping the price of an item you are interested in and do contact sellers for any questions or concerns. I always start with a small inexpensive item ordered first and see how they do. Then a second one behind it and if everything goes ok then I add this store and shop till I drop. Take your time and research and read read read before you decide to buy. Stay with stores and vendors you have proven to be trustworthy. Please be aware that shipping times and in item stocks have so many variables that shipments become delayed and stocks can't be guaranteed. Patience is key.

I HAVE NEVER FAILED TO GET MY SHIPMENTS AS ADVERTISED AND PAID FOR! Bad reviews here had my fears reeling and I have done a lot of research into some of the claims before I decided to give my review. I have a Chinese friend who helped a bit only because I know they have an unfamiliar culture to me and a lot of problems arise from this fact. You claim bad customer service? Chinese people's culture centers around respect. Americans culture centers around the fact if you don't shoot off profanities nobody will listen to you. If you have in any way been rude or profaned to them you will be ignored and your order will most likely be lost in a trash can and you can count on being given the run around. If you are guilty of rudeness; serves you right! Now notice how Maple is working herself grey-headed trying to address complaints here. This alone disproves that they don't care or won't deal with you in a timely fashion. I honestly can't see where she gets the time to address any complaints off the website itself. Of course she can only deal with legitimate order numbers left on these pages. Some complaints claim their Chinese factory workers are leaving reviews here. I see Americans pretending to be Chinese leaving broken English to skew the review rating. Look closely and you will see it too. Its becoming clearer to me that this is just an old fashion American Black-Balling internet style. One lists a BBB complaint. Really? 23 complaints? Have you any ideal how many successful transactions these hardworking Chinese people accomplish in a day and all you offer me is 23 complaints? Who is trying to fool who here? As for the shipping problem... I have worked in warehouses everywhere in the United States in shipping, recieving, and quality control so I have a little insight on this. Further I have been mail-ordering since I was a child. Your ideals of fast shipping are grossly unrealistic. When you are dealing with wholesale you can expect delays caused by outside factors beyond anyones control. Sh*t happens! Can't tell me you don't know about that one on a personal level. From the second your order is place with the factory or wholesaler guess what? Your order goes to the bottom of the pile. There can be literally hundreds of them. Some of these are merchants who place order of items into the hundreds if not thousands. Ever hear about first come, first serve? Expect any international shipping to take 6-10 weeks. If you get it sooner, get on your hands and knees and give thanks. My Chinese friend set my computer to read the website in the original Chinese and then English to compare. Ships in 24 hours isn't exactly translated like it should. 24 hours is for the people in China; not anyone else outside of that country. They do however put your order in at the wholesaler or factory in that amount of time. You actually fall under international shipping. Go back and read that part. It plainly states you will receive your order ABOUT 7-14 days. What does the word ABOUT mean to you? Those tracking numbers aren't tracking number. This part of the website needs an overhaul. If you didn't pay for tracking you don't get tracking. These are a shipping receipt number where it was handed off to a shipping or postal service. No tracking will be avaible. I was concerned about this because I couldn't find anything on these shipping companies until Li, my Chinese friend pointed out to me that I wouldn't be able to research these companies because its China. They don't let Americans go poking around shipping companies. They are not free to list it either. Li's own words"They not free like we here."Li has pointed out countless problems that are do to poor translation. They aren't deliberately trying to fraud you. They are not a scam site! They have thousands of thousands of successful transactions and millions of happy customers all around the globe. The amount of complaints here are only a tiny drop in the bucket and matter not. Again a point system designed against an honest seller and geared towards just a handful of disgruntled customers. Please this is not the place for an American-Chinese war! Know that any dialect between you and another country such as China that you are indeed a representative of your country and Americans here are embarrasing me and all Americans to no end. Now I know there are gonna be a few of you who are gonna fill my email box full of nasties. Well forget it! I am done with this site and not accepting any responses so you are just waisting your time! I am Casper Van Martin, Hillbilly farmer from the land of former President Bill Clinton; Arkansas; zip ******* and thats all you get folks! Good Day!

Used to buy and sell. Only got burned once on a dvd that was only a buck or two. No longer good for selling. By the time they get done with the fees, percentages both for ebay and paypal; a seller gets little. The buying end of it has gotten too many dropshippers listing pages upon pages of the same boring entries. It used to be like a big interesting flea market with bargains abound from individuals like you and me. Now its just a big walmart style dropshipping store. You can still find the rare seller who is emptying their garage; but you have to wade through search engines and pages of dropshippers. Boring!

Can't say enough good things about these folks. I have two great experiences to relate. 1: Used up all my internet time with had some talk time still availble. Wanted to purchase more time and of course you talk to someone in India with a very thick accent. I myself have a very thick hillbilly southern accent. This man was named H****N! (I have ommitted his name in case there might be any reprisal from his boss!) After some time of trying to understand one another we started poking fun at each other and were laughing. I already understood that by uploading another card for internet I would loose my leftover talk minutes. God Bless H****N! He gave me two months of internet and talk time for the price of one. Wish I could find him again lol. 2: Bought a reconditioned Proclaim which quite working two months after purchase. It came with a one year warranty. Again talked to a young women from India! Her english was better than mine. She had a hard time understanding me. She sent me a new Centura and with it came a box plus return paid shipping to send the defective one back. Can't beat that with a stick! Thumbs up and all smiles!

Was able to find food-grade diatomaceous earth here more reasonably priced than anywhere else. They ship very quick and you can use Paypal for online protection of your purchases! For gardening supplies its a trusted source. Their prices aren't the cheapest but fair. Many gardening items to choose from and links to other sites that are most helpful. Thumbs up!

Great! Been using them for years. Never failed to get what I ordered and most are of good to excellent quality. Can also find many hard to find items. Shipping is usually quick. I have found that the best quality items seem to ship slower. Don't know if this makes a difference. Totally recommend!

I have had a completely good experience. We bought an antennae and were so taken by its performance we ordered one for my son and one for a friend. Our friends didn't work right. They sent us a new antennae and paid shipping to send the other back lickety split just like that. Just trusted us to do the right thing which we did. We always call in our order rather than do it online. Maybe it is better that way. I understand that nothing can be perfect 100% of the time but I can only give them a thumbs up according to my own experience. Hopes this helps.
