Common China Marketing Tactics

I thought I was the only one who never gotten my ordered paid items through wish.com and also another website until I found out they were mostly China based scams. There are some documentary articles and videos showing how they have infiltrated big websites like Amazon and others. The suspect reviewers are paid or part of their marketing strategy to lure unknowingly and to gain credibility, it was traced to China who purchased some of the goods advertised to get verified customer status! But too late because I only found out about these after waiting and waiting for my items to arrive. I only gotten one response to wait as they allegedly claimed they have back orders from 3 months ago and the other stop responding after my cheque was cashed. Only one order was received but the item received did not meet the advertised specs and now nobody wants to use it. Again, only after googling I found out a lot of China made products usually show somewhat similar specs to Japanese products but the truth is often their results are false and secret commissions are paid to gain sales in return.
Strangely so far I have never encountered any bad orders from online orders except from these China based sellers! Oh well, today I learned the hard way. It is nearly 4 months now and I am never ordering again from China. If there are others who have bad experiences, kindly share.

I am on maxis because I thought it is easier for my friends to connect to me unlike some others. But after a year, I received too many complaints about the voice quality. Is maxis suited for particular phones

How about others in here?

I have a big sofa that need re up holstering. I think the Johor company gave us poor quality leather. Mine is 2 years plus old.

I was thinking of getting new one from Cellini but a colleague told me her less than 2 year old sofa is also tearing easily and Cellini won't repair foc even it is under warranty still.

Any good ideas here?
