China Wholesale Group Buy Review: Is It Cheaper? Is it safer or just another scam?

There was no doubt that Chinese commodities alleviated the cost of  living, especially when the global economy fell down. We had talked about “China Wholesale” since 2007, woohooo, and 4 years already. And  I found a new trend:” Wholesale + Group Buy” lat month. I would like to make some briefing here.

What is the difference between Wholesale and Group Buy Wholesale?

In fact, they had no differences. Most of the products were still made in China, shipping from China. Aliexpress Grubee was an exception, for most of its products were ship from US.

How about those websites, offering “China Wholesale Group Buy”. Are they brand new? Reliable?

I would like to fall them into 5 categories.

1 Just for more traffic. Like DHgate.com, their wholesale Group buy page was just product search result. When you clicked to buy, you did not need to wait. The following site took some similar actions to promote :
tradehong.com: It had been on our watch list for almost 1 year. It was a small wholesaler.
chinawholesalegroup.com: It seemed just another copy of Lightinthebox.com, and it was built in the old interface of Lightinthebox.com. It means the site was in low quality. No contact detail also disclosed the uncertainty.
Tradeage.com & chinese-factory.com: just small sites, copying other big wholesalers and make a tough living by manipulated the search results in Google.

2 Just a new promotion in Chinese wholesale website. The typical example was everbuying.com, if you would like to learn more about everbuying.com`s history, our everbuying.com reviews would help you. The price would be very cheap; you might even not found it in eBay. One feature for these sites was their promotion would never end.

3 A new wholesale Option for Buyer.  Aliexpress.com promoted its new Brand Grubee for the US market. All the clients could enjoy fast shipping direct from it US warehouse.
It seemed they stop listing new deals from December.
360ten.com was another example, buy the group buy page was just like another “recommended products” with count down.

4 Offering Wholesale in the name of Group Buy: Orderwithme.com, which we reviewed it last month. It really looked like another Groupon, but, believed or not, the home page were only for acquiring your email. (You could just browse the content like other wholesale sites category by category or item by item without login.

5 Offer group buying dropship services: like www.chinabuydropship.com, which just offering taobao dropship and buy from China services. The exchange rate was 1 usd= 6.2 rmb for this bloody site. No friendly at all, some of friends told me that lots of Chinese EBay sellers resell the taboo items in eBay, so you could just ignore them. Kill the middle man!!
