Be careful Fish, couple of folks on here will hammer ya for buying from China. I ordered a Whopper Plopper from Alibaba, took a couple of weeks but turned out good and was 1/2 price. Mainly just wanted to see if it was worth it. Guess it was ok but prolly won't do it again. I think we would all be shocked at the mark up of the stuff we buy at BPS, Academy, Walmart, Tackle Warehouse, etc. and 90% of it comes from other country's.

I have a buddy that regularly orders from Wish and even though it sometimes takes several weeks for him to get it, it's always worth his while.

The retailers mark up on brand name stuff is about 35%. It is around 65% on their private brand import stuff.
But on their private brand stuff have no manufacturer backing so they have to eat any returns.
The only reason I don’t use the China sites is I don’t like to wait that long for my stuff.
