Hello, Is the supplier you are looking at a Gold Supplier? While we’re unable to comment on specific suppliers listed on Alibaba.com, it may reassure you to know that all Gold Suppliers undergo basic authentication and verification checks. These checks are conducted by an independent inspection service and let buyers know that the company in question holds a valid business license and have provided the government with basic registration information. Once again, our Product Inspection Service is a key way of finding out if your supplier is selling legitimate goods. These services are helping UK importers ensure that the goods they’re sourcing meet the quality standards they expect prior to purchase. Find out more here: http://inspection.alibaba.com/ May we also suggest that you look at this blog from The Wholesale Forums titled '14 ways to perform supplier due diligence like a pro'. http://www.dhlguide.co.uk/news/index.php/2012/06/07/14-ways-perform-supplier-due-diligence-pro/ We hope this is of use to you.

Hi there, Thanks for drawing our attention to this thread. We're pleased to see that you are considering using our service and would like to reassure you that at Alibaba, we’re always working hard to tackle unfair practices on our marketplace. We’ve developed a number of policies and procedures to tackle fraud, and systems of authentication and verification, including our Gold Supplier membership scheme. Of course, It’s very important to conduct due diligence before you make an order with a new supplier. Hiring a local inspection is a solution. We understand that it will incur extra costs but this can ensure that you are happy with the quality of the products you received. The other suggestion is to order the sample first before you make bulk purchasing. We recently launched our Product Inspection Service, which means you can find a local inspection agency to check out the products for you before you make the order.
