Thanks for that.

I contacted them and asked if they posted samples to Australia, as this has been a deal breaker with other companies that have contacted me, and Malay replied back saying yes/no problem.

I had opened the attached XLM (Excel) file in the original invitation and viewed the product listing, and nothing really suited my channel audience, but the second invite didn't have an attachment and suggested there may be more to choose from online.

Is there more than just Senbono Store ?

I will sign up and see what is there. It will likely grow as it gets up steam.

It's an interesting development.

Cheers Rob

Hi,

When you log in, you have 3 different stores: Taobao, Aliexpress & Alibaba
Every store has 5-7 pages with 20 product per page.

For me, there is not too much things (for my channel)
But I try to get this:
Newest Torntisc Smart Watch Android - Aliexpress ( $109 )
And now I have to wait for merchant's confirmation.
You can apply for 3 products at once.

 

[Xynudu]

Thanks for the feedback.

I would only be interested in items directly related to metal work, so my options may be limited.

It's probably worth signing up as this will certainly grow to be something much larger in the future, which will rival Ebay and Amazon.

I checked the prices of metal work items and they were significantly cheaper than on the competition sites.

Whether I can get any to review is the million dollar question.

Cheers Rob.

Looks like I had better sign up

Cheers Rob

I also got this invite... I'm someone who has purchased a ton from Taobao / Aliexpress / Alibaba (I think all of those things are actually tied together).... They are a MASSIVE Chinese company -- one the largest online retail hubs in the world. A lot of American department stores get their clothing from Alibaba for a fraction of the cost that they sell it...I've seen the exact same bralette things that H&M sells for $36.00 (with the tags "Made in China") for $3.50 on Alibaba lol. But, a lot of what Alibaba sells are also cheap knock-offs of things. I'd keep that in mind when purchasing electronics or "branded items." For example, I'd never buy "branded makeup" from them because it's most likely a fake with different chemicals. I personally would stick with buying things like things like clothing, curtains, pillows, cool paper, simple tools like screwdrivers...stuff like that...

Are they actually legit or just bots?

 

[iGameR88]

Legit - 99%
I already search for some reviews, there is simple rule, you must in review tell name of store and product name...
I found few reviews with that and same link (offer and review have same link to product from exactly same seller/store) to product in description box on YT.
