[aces_up1504]

I was have a look on ebay at cycling jersey and came across this shop Howdoilook, they seemed to have some very reasonable priced stuff although comming from China.

What your thoughts on it? Fake, older gear that never made it to the shopfloor

I dont mind buying from China, in reality it is where most stuff is made anway and not in a rush to receive it and at around £20 its hardly end of the world if it all goes a bit wrong.

thanks

It's only reasonable because it is fake. You also stand a very good chance of customs seizing it at the point of entry into the UK.

You can't buy branded goods direct from China .... it will in all honesty be fake.

Chinese fake stuff is slightly inferior - you don't get the metal zip tags or proper labels and the material is a bit harsher.

But then it is a lot cheaper.

One thing - you are supposed to pay VAT on vatable new imports over £15 and an £8 handling fee by Royal Mail. So something for £20 could cost £30.

Not all imported stuff is picked up by HMRC but you are still taking a chance.
