Collecting overstock can be tricky, with some dishonest suppliers using various tricks to cheat. Here are some common ones to watch out for:
Suppliers show you high-quality samples but send low-quality or defective overstock. They may mix in damaged items or even rubbish. To avoid this, check the goods on-site if possible, or ask for a detailed video of the entire stock.
They promise you can pay after checking the goods, but collude with couriers to force you to pay first. Once you pay, you find the goods are worthless. Always insist on checking before paying and use reputable couriers.
They offer "too good to be true" prices for brand overstock to make you pay quickly. After getting your money, they send poor-quality goods or disappear. Don't trust prices much lower than the market average.
Some pretend to be factory managers or wholesalers with fake documents to gain trust. Verify their identity through official channels before dealing.
In short, be careful, check goods thoroughly, and use secure payment methods to avoid falling for these tricks.
