Post by: OzBuzz on February 09, 2011, 09:13:03 PM
Just wondering if anyone has ever purchased anything from Zairong Li at Chinabees? www.chinabees.com (http://www.chinabees.com) also known as WUHAN YIMIN BEEPRODUCT CO.,LTD

Never heard of them, but the Bee larva (frozen), queen larva, queen larva powder looks nice.    What are you looking at from them.  I could not find any prices or shipping info from them.  Look like wholesalers to me.

They do not give you much info on them on the web site.  Not much at all.  Make sure you check out that motor and make sure you get the right voltage since they ship everywhere.

No they don't but all of their communication has been encouraging so far - i'll definitely be talking to them in person before $$ changes hands. I have confirmed that the motor is matched to Australian voltage - i will just need to put an Australian plug on when they arrive (A friend is a sparky/tagger so it's all good)

  Are you going to pay first? Or insist on COD?  Thanks.  Just wondering the best way to deal with China and India, where you are not familiar with the reputation of the company.

I guess no matter where we go, we wind up cornered into Chinese products. I think I'd recommend dealing with a distributor in your own country (even if they're distributing Chinese products); because customer service and return/repair issues can get painful.
