I recently ordered a portable ice bath for my sons Christmas present from “Recover portable ice baths” which was advertised on Facebook as being Australian owned. The item took almost 4 weeks to arrive even though they advertise fast shipping but 14 days processing time. Anyway the order arrived and the sender address is “union lucky returns” return address PO BOX 6008 CHULLORA NSW 1405. On their website their address is just noted as Gold Coast QLD but they do mention shipping from their Sydney warehouse and its a .com website not a .com.au website so it so appears to be drop shipping.
In my case I received the item I ordered and I also paid with PayPal which is pretty secure so the seller doesn’t get my financial info + if the order isn’t delivered you can easily get your money back from PayPal. Hence I only ever used PayPal for online orders.
I can’t judge quality of the product yet as it’s a Christmas present so I’ve left it in the original box but it looks like everything is in there.
I was just curious about the company name “Union lucky returns” so I googled it and when it came up as a “SCAM” I looked into it more. Considering everything is really well advertised (they even have an affiliate referral programme) in comparison to most dodgy Chinese online shops- my guess is that it’s all run by an Aussie & they’ve done the website/advertising but are using Chinese drop shipped products.
