I'm checking on them and there is nothing to prove you wrong. It would be great if we had any German fella to go there and check.

This company looks too eerie! The accept only Bitcoin as payment method. There are neither names or pictures of the founders/CEO and other staff nor photos of their factory. Further, the photo of boxes are most probably stickers which they printed out themselves.

One more thing... on closer examination on the photo of the boxes, they just look too new. If those boxes are shipped to them, they would have have some scratch marks. They look just too smooth and clean! Then, think gravity and physics, and imagine the boxes are either filled (heavy) or empty (light). If you look at the how the boxes are stacked, it is probabaly reasonable to imagine that they are just empty inside. Hint: you need to enlarge the photo to study it.

Also the labels are taped on... I've worked in E-Commerce for years, no one shipping that many boxes tapes their labels on lol... A Zebra printer is like $60 now...

Definitely fake.
