Yes, I heard about it. I just thought it was funny how it came up in the thread. I heard they were using crazier chemicals than the real manufacturers do. Cigarettes are already bad, can you imagine what China was putting in them?

So many designer things DO come from China. Most quality brand name companies have their goods manufactured in China or other countries, even though the company HQ says Idaho or Nebraska or wherever.

As long as you have documentation that you attempted to obtain what you believe to be legal goods obtained by legal means, then you are in a defensible position if a problem comes up and you decide to invest in a fight. Practicality rules here. Choose your battles wisely, of course.

But if you are asked by PP for invoices and proof of inventory, technically an invoice from a Chinese supplier is just as valid as any other invoice.

Common sense and logic says that there's a 90% chance something is f ake if it DOESN'T come from China. That's based purely on numeric statistics. I don't think Marlboros are ever made in China. And I'm pretty sure Shakespeare Ugly Sticks aren't either. So a bit of research would be in order from seller to seller.

Chinese invoices are accepted by PP, though.
