Question ????davidjacket.com???

I ran across this website called davidjacket.com while looking for some new shirts. The prices are outrageously cheap. Like $18 for a $40-49 shirt (eBay prices). The only way to pay is thorugh Western Union or Swift Wire Transfer. They even have a page on here! Has anyone heard of or have any experience with these guys? Their email address looks like BS to me too. Its a yahoo email. Anyone know?

Anybody have any experiences with them good or bad??
I just stumbled on them today when I was searching for a new leather jacket. I would hate to send money to China, but the prices seem super cheap. They seem to be half the price that dealerships want...

Western Union? #1 sign this is a scam. I wouldn't send them a dime.

someone a while back was taking orders for folks. basically the same thing, he was ordering from one of these chinese places. i didn't save the info, but everyone that got in with him seemed to be happy with the deal that they got.

it's pretty much a given that you're ordering from one of the 'factories' in china. and technically, you're buying a 'sample'.

a lot of the stuff that you are buying on ebay that is listed as new with tag, where do you think they are getting them from?

though, i would be nervous about wiring them money as well.....

If they accepted Paypal, I would give it a try. I've bought unrelated items through eBay direct from China with no problems.

I sent them the amount for a Harley jacket via Western Union and shipped thru local postal carrier, sure enough 2 weeks later I received my jacket 1/3 the cost. No problem here, the experience I had was great.
