Buying from overseas
 
Looking at buying some stuff from a manufacturer in China, it's not really something I've done before, how do I go about it? I don't wanna get screwed, and it's kinda hard to drive over there and check it out. Is there anyway to hold money in escrow until the product shows up?

I ordered so much crap form overseas its crazy. Escrow.... :lol: cmon I never had one problem and stuff arrives surprisingly quick.

Just watched Import Tuners on Spike. The guy ordered a turbo from the Orient and when it came the turbo impeller was trash. :roll:

On the other hand, my daughter ordered a grad dress from China. It cost about $20 and looked like it cost $500. :shock:

It's some carbon fiber tubing, 6" in diameter, 36" long. It's not a company I've ever heard of, it's a factory. Normally there's a minimum order, but I'm getting a sample order to see if it'll work for what I want. Basically it's direct from the manufacturer, and I want to make sure the manufacturer isn't some schmuck from Niegeria just taking my money.
