Hi Cheapshopper, and don't i wish I was at times.

if it is this site http://crafashion.com/, there is nothing that rings any alarms for me.

They accept all major credit cards which is a plus, as that gives you some way of recovering any money you may possibly lose.

I can't see anything to say it is a scam website, it looks as legitimate as any of the others.

So, 2 years registration, they seem to be doing the usual brand name runs with the overage sold off under a slightly different label.

The best you could do is order a low priced item initially, then move up if you want to. Provided the original order arrived.

Thanks! There is a large tax on all of the orders but they say if you order $150 or more then the tax is removed. This raised a few red flags for me.

I stronly advise against using these chinese sites to purchase anything. 90% of the times you're dealing with counterfeit material. When customs intercepts the shipment they won't be happy and go after you for importing counterfeit stuff - and then it is up to you to prove you didn't know they were fake. Not easy.

9.5% of the time they don't even send anything (many times combined with payment in Western Union)

In very, very rare cases those chinese sites can be real. They're so rare that I would never ever take the risk, though.

I can personally say that half of the claims against these Chinese businesses aren't true. I have consistently purchased things from Ebay and they were coming from China. As for this site personally, it isn't a scam. They sell real products at unbeatable prices. Western Union is an option but isn't mandatory. You can pay with Paypal. If you purchase from them, you will get your items. I have dealt with another site similar to this one and got the same results.

Nobody here has indicated that http://www.crafashion.com is a scam.

Personally I would never trust a site a site that has (on top of the things already mentioned) a 'VeriSign' logo that does not click through to the VeriSign site. Image and free Hotmail accounts for it's point of contact.



With this one, it's a case of ' you pay your money and you take your chance'.
