EGbassing Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Just found this site because I'm looking for an ultra-light rod. fishingequipmentsale.com Everything is so low priced that I'm wondering if it's a scam, or used equipment or something. Have any of you ever bought from this site? Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted February 4, 2019 Super User Posted February 4, 2019 From the FAQs: How do you send a fishing to me ? We will ship the bike in box packaging, in a fullof assembly whether the fishing will be given a free shipping? We will give you a free shipping if your reservation is above than 1000 dollars. I'm not shopping there even with YOUR credit card 1 16 Quote

BigSkyBasser Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 The fact that they keep mentioning bicycles would be the first and only red flag needed to say NO. So, why should you buy from us? 1. Price is very competitive, because we directly cooperate with bicycle distributors from all over the world. 2. Fast delivery only 6 - 8 Business days to worldwide. 3. give 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied. 4. give 10% discount for all fishing and equipment. 5. all fishing equipment have official warranty 1-5 years depending on the brands."

They seem to have used an auto-translate function. Whether it was Malay, Mandarin or Tamil as the original language is up in the air. 1 1 Quote

But still....at best, its lazy .... and not worthy of my cash. If I was broadcasting anything on the interwebs in Chinese and wanted positive traffic, I would, at the very least, have a fluent speaker proof it. 1 Quote

schplurg Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 I think they use the bicycles for delivery. That's where the big savings probably come from. 8 days is impressive via bike messenger. 6 Quote

I'm not shopping there even with YOUR credit card Aha! Joke is on you guys, they take bank transfer. You know, the "I'll never get my money back now" payment system. I am amazed Western Union is not a transfer option at this point. HOW TO MAKE PAYMENT BY BANK T/T ? To send funds using a traditional bank wire you’ll need the following information for the account that will receive the funds. Bank Name, Bank Branch, Beneficiary Name, Beneficiary Account, Bank Swift code, Beneficiary Name. To get this Information just ask. Please Go to your Local Bank, and Tell your Bank Teller to do Bank T/T / BANK WIRE TRANSFER. they will explain details how to do it. it's simple and easy. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 9, 2019 Super User Posted February 9, 2019 Wow. I think I will keep my online shopping on the sites I am familiar with. No pun intended but this website seems a bit fishy.... Quote
