Should I ship to this address. The Shippers name is random and not the buyers. The Buyer is from China-Good FB and has bought similar items.
I'm just confused about what to do here.

·6 days agoFor me...I ended up blocking the country.
And...I only sell stamps.
Here's the question : are they buying something they can't get in their country?
Phone, computer, expensive jewelry or coins, etc.?
Then for me it would be no to any of those items.
In the past I was putting both Chinese and English addresses on the package...plus for some reason their telephone number.
I found too many dishonest with good feedbacks.
And none were freight forward.
Good luck.

·6 days agoLooks like a freight forwarder,
In reality, no greater risk than any other address. But a lot of internet sellers think that the thousands of buyers who use a freight forwarder are all thieves, knaves and scammers.
I have never had a problem with any order I have shipped to a freight forwarder in the decades I have sold online.
