That's what I call 'stupid'. Would you do the same thing if the unknown service were in Asia, given the above facts?
| While I personally will NOT be trusting this company with my inventory unless I find some sort of evidence that they are trustworthy, I don't think Isabel is "stupid" for taking a risk. She's likely sending a small amount of product as a test to see if they're legit, then going from there. Quote:

Ghost... isn't everybody always complaining that you can ship from China cheaper than the US because the Chinese government subsidizes the cost of the mail? So what exactly, other than the possible time lag, which can be minimized by quick packaging, is the advantage to doing this?
| Ok, now this just sounds bad....
Did you LOOK at the flag? Did you read the post? China is NOT in "South east" Asia. There are MANY countries in Asia that are NOT China. OP is from Malaysia, and they do NOT have cheap shipping to the states. In fact, they are a very developed nation with relatively high wages, much like Japan. All of Asia is not the same....Are the rules and shipping the same for the USA, Canada, and Mexico the same, just because we are all technically "North American"? This is just some straight up ignorant talk that's unbecoming of you. |
