Is that just your opinion, or have you bought stuff from them?

Its common sense.

Imagine the wages and conditions for the workers making that stuff.

I have and the stuff came pretty quickly.
It is cheap and because you pay next to nothing for the product and no fee for delivery, it's okay.
Not the best stuff you'll ever buy on the Net but they're not robbing you.

Seems okay. Stuff was cheap rubbish but if that is your thing, then go for it.

You can always give it a try, my advice on these type of sites is try buying something that is a reasonable price and is NON electrical. I have had some real bargains including a few years ago purchased some plastic inner door handle parts for my old 1998 Hyundai Lantra estate car, dealers price was over £25 and I got the same thing from a Korean/Chinese online site for £3 including post and packing, took around 4 weeks to arrive and no different to the original parts on my car, quite amazing ! My advice, suck it and see. Another tip, I find Paypal is a very safe way to pay online. You can also get bargain prices on eBay and even Amazon. I buy various vegetable seeds on ebay and a fraction of the cost to shop prices.

How much were your seeds? A chap in a boozer down the Old Kent Road a few months back was trying to sell seeds to me at a bargain rate.

Depends on what the seed variety is. Had great success this year using disease free Mountain Magic salad type tomatoes and Legend tomatoes also have excellent disease resistance and produce amazingly sweet tomatoes with just the right amount of acidity. The big, 4–5 inch, fruit are glossy red, with a uniform round shape. ' I grow my tomatoes outside not in a greenhouse. Cucumbers I have grown so many that I cant give them away ! For Cucumber Seeds for outside growing I use the Marketmore 76 Variety . My runner beans have not liked these hot spells and gone to seed far too early.
Premium seeds direct are good quality and reasonably priced. https://www.premierseedsdirect.com/

Stop moaning and get on with consuming. There isn't much planetary time left. Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.

It’s nothing new

A former boarder was a pioneer in selling cheap tat from his shop
