"packages/containers half-filled with stones, sand or whatever else."

"I personally know at least 4 businessmen who've been scammed exactly this way."

Lol. What??? You know "four separate businessmen" who were delivered "stones and sand" in containers?!?! Four!!!?? From some evil foreign country. Not one. Not two. Not three. Bit four! Lol. Yeah, right! Sweet Mother of God. Are you like 14 years old or something? Do you know how foreign trade works? Ever heard of product inspections, export monitoring, supplier audits.

And by the way, we moved pretty fast from OP is a scammer because he is a newbie to ok, maybe he won't scam you on the first few hundred thousand EUR, but if you send him a million bucks you are screwed. Eyeroll.

I have looked at a few other threads in the Bitcointalk "Goods" forum and I see the same 2-3 people attacking everyone who posts an ad.

Maybe you guys need to change the forum policy and ban advertisements from people selling wholesale KN95 masks. They seem to trigger a few of you.

I have not broken any of the forum's rules. I have been responsive and given thorough replies to all questions and concerns.

Again, I repeat. No Chinese trader, supplier or manufacturer will export wholesale amounts of KN95 masks without receiving full payment in advance.

NOBODY is selling 10 k quantities of masks wholesale on AliExpress. Especially not on stock! Are you guys nuts!?!?!

"You are wrong. I bought by AliExpress by credit card and had full protection. So is clear that you’re trying to scam people."

Excuse me, I never said that AliExpress does not offer buyer protection, I said that they don't offer escrow. You still have to pay 100 % upfront obviously.

Furthermore:

1. AliExpress is having enormous difficulty weeding out fake goods right now. Go to the CDC warning page showing the most prominent types of counterfeit particulate respirators and then go to AliExpress and compare. You will see a lot of them there.

2. The Korean government has issued several warnings against procuring fake masks via AliExpress, etc.

Your aim here is to buy large quantities of masks, sell them at a >200 % profit and make money. Right?

Your aim is not to spend 3 weeks fighting with AliExpress and your credit card company in order to get a refund.

I'm not forcing anyone to do business with me, and I'm doing very well thanks very much.

In this market with these products if you have stock you are king.

If you find a source that has >10,000 authentic particulate respirators from China using some magical escrow services, well good luck with that.

Hi Alex. Almost all sellers on Alibaba will request 100 % upfront. I do not! As a buyer of PPE you would not know who you are dealing with half the time. I offer a sales contract with a European company. I also offer goods inspection BEFORE the balance payment if you have an inspection agent in Shenzhen. In other words I offer greater levels of security.

HedgeFx, kindly re-read the original post. The price was clearly stated. It is EUR 1.90 per piece FOB Shenzhen. Expedited air freight is approx. EUR 25 per kilo for shipping to Europe or USA.

All these people on here shouting "escrow, escrow" are cracking me up. Global demand for particulate respirators (N95, KN95, FPP2, etc.) for April and May will top 2 billion pcs. Global manufacturing capacity over the same period is less than 7 % of that. These are not 3 ply masks, people.

Escrow? Don't make me laugh. This is a sellers' market like you've never seen before. Do you really think in this unprecedented global demand environment a trader in China with clients lining up day and night to pay in cash is going to advance you any form of quasi trade credit courtesy? Of course not.

You know how many sellers are offering escrow on Alibaba right now? ZERO obviously.

So your concern is that I'm a "newbie"? Seriously?!?

According to your logic, foreign trade professionals with experience in supplying medical devices and PPE should not post on this forum, which is apparently a specialised trade forum. However, if someone is a crypto enthusiast or so-called crypto expert who commented on a few questionable ICOs, etc. in 2017-18 then they are "legit" even if they know nothing about importing-exporting masks or any other goods for that matter. Interesting logic.

About me. Experienced exporter and importer of medical devices and registered pharma products for years, not a newbie to this.

I'm Irish. I live in Europe. You'll be given my web site, social media profiles, phone number, etc.

Here is how I do business...

Step 1. If you are interested please DM me and I'll confirm for you what I can get on stock over the next few days. Let me know if you need expedited air freight to USA or Europe, or whether you want to use your own freight forwarder. I'll give you an exact date when packaging will be finished (within 3-4 days usually). At the same time I'll send you the certs, lab reports, etc. and pictures of the exact samples, probably video too (depends on warehouse). If you accept my offer, I invoice you for 20 % of the price up front.

Step 2: 3-4 days later when the masks are packed and ready to go, I send you more photos of the prepared packs and then you transfer the rest of the money / BTC. You can inspect the goods before payment obviously if you have a local inspection agent in Shenzhen. Following receipt of balance the products are shipped to you within 24 hours (or released to your Chinese freight forwarder if you want to handle your own shipping).

That's it.

P.S. If you are not experienced at importing these kinds of goods, no problem. I'll hold your hand through the whole process.
