Only wanted to purchase a wrist pedometer and there were a large number of sellers. Filtered the location as Australia only and auction type. Checked seller, no record in Australia, they had a number of other items and , as it turns out a number of other trading names. Was the site hijacked - no. Turns out the seller was one of the trading names of perhaps the biggest e commerce company in China, according to reports. Should have realised when they gave the delivery date due within a ten day time frame. Personally, have no issue with the item coming from China, particularly Shenzhen, would love to meet the logistics coordinator when it arrived within 7 days. But a PO box with no name, Australia post "sachel" being a stick on Australia Post prepaid for overseas suppliers - come on!! Why go to all that bother, if you are are delivering from China, fine, say so!! Not an issue. But say so. Then again, can I say definitively it was posted direct from Shenzhen, would I swear on a cricket program, probably not? Is it clever marketing or is it misleading marketing? Recognise the tricks, such as the span of 10 day delivery time, the company with no record or registration. As for the article, yep, delivered and works.
