[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 281426, member: 17556"] Check their feedback. If it is near 100% positive, and they have a lot of it, then its pretty safe to buy from them. Read the feedback ratings and if there are negatives or neutrals see what the buyer was dissatisfied with. Most of the time its shipping time, wrong item or a damaged item. Research what you are thinking about buying. I have bought lots of stuff that was from China and some of it is just absolutely junk. A lot of it is actually not bad. Almost none of it is as good as the well known brand it is a copy of but, if you are paying a third of the price, or even less, then it can be a good deal anyway. I did buy a Black Rapid style knock-off strap called "Quick Strap" with a "K" logo. It is a decent piece and, with some modification just for my peace of mind, I do not fear carrying my camera with it. Its comfortable and it works as I want it too. A lot of the stuff you get from China is the exact same stuff you would buy anywhere else with a "Made in China" tag on it. I hate to recommend it because I hate them but use PayPal with a credit card as the payment method. It is the only way to protect what you buy with a guarantee. [/QUOTE]
