New Chinese seller scam

[lewmur]

Seems the Chinese have found a new way to get around "US only" buyers.  Their ads will claim "US stock" and have a Ca or NY address.  When you place an order, right away you'll get a USPO tracking no.  But there isn't actually any "US stock".  There is merely a Chinese shipping agent in NY or CA that creates the shipping label and then orders the item from China, along with many other orders.  When they have accumulated enough orders they are shipped by air to the agent in the US, who then repacks them with the USPO shipping labels.  Problem for the buyer is that there will be a long delay between the time the USPO llabel is created and the time the PO actually get the shipment.  I have such an order right now where the label was created on Nov 22 and the PO still doesn't have it on Nov 30.  When I looked up the item in my PayPal transactions, this is the co that received the payment. 佛山市盛耀网络有限公司

Thanks. I came here looking for  answers as to why shipping from China is taking so long.  I have orders going as far back as Sept. 13  that have not been delivered, and with an estimated delivery date of almost 9 weeks to the Eastern US.

Some of the media tells us China is  first major economy to recover from Covid-19,  but I have my doubts as to "recover" meaning recover.

They lie about everything. If the virus was under control why are they still wearing masks

Many were wearing masks before the virus, because air quality is so bad. Same with Japan and other Asian country's.

I personally like to use the "X amount of miles from zip code****"  I live in TX, so I can cut out the CA locations, but it doesn't always work, but it cuts down on the chyna **bleep** a lot.  I can still use the filter by price feature when I use the zip code parameters.

Before you buy, compare the shipping location on the listing with the sellers location with their feedback.  One or both may say China.  And I wouldn't buy it either one said it.
