I Ordered DeWalt Tools From China

Well I never thought of that but now that you mention it there could be disruption in trade. I didn’t get any response from the three emails so I pulled the plug. Maybe PayPal will have some information.

I figure "Order at your own Risk". I have successfully ordered a few small things and have been ripped off once. Amazon refunded my money promptly.

My 16 ton hydraulic electrical crimper for sixteen bucks or something has not arrived from China via Ebay. It says shipped but the seller has closed their account! That's a first for me. It seems I always get the little stuff, even with delay, but larger stuff never gets here.

I think you are right that you assume all risks when ordering anything directly from China.

Sad part is...we had no clue we were even ordering items from China. Now we are more observant.

They are sneaky like that sometimes.

I ordered two batches of seeds from a local supplier, first lot arrived via local mail, second lot where conficated by customs as a prohibited import from china with an invitation to explain.
Was all cleared when i produced evidence of a single payment to the local seller and they got a please explain.
It is frustrating when you think you are buying locally and have this happen.

That's interesting bunyip. I have often seen seed advertised and wondered what the outcome would be if I ordered. Now I know not to bother.

Weird. Ebay refunded my money. Now, I still don't have a hydraulic electrical crimper! Start again! Maybe not pick the cheapest one this time. Go for the 17 dollar one instead of the 16 dollar one! Maybe even splurge a dollar for shipping.

When I order seeds, they are most always those known and labeled for my geographical location. I see no geographical similarities between China and Australia. I could be wrong.

Sellers cannot close their accounts for at least 60 days after all outstanding orders are delivered or issues resolved. If it says 'Not A Registered User' or similar, they were suspended (thrown off the site), at least under that ID.
