re: Have you ever ordered anything from a cheap wholesale China website?

My wife accidentally ordered a Saints jersey from one, not knowing it was a Chinese knock off company. Four weeks later an Eagles Celek jersey came in the mail. Tried to deal with their customer service but as you can imagine it was about nonexistent, just emails in broken English. I charged back the purchase price to them on the credit card, which they did not dispute, and gave away the jersey. The jersey itself seemed pretty nice though.

I buy knockoff Star Wars Legos from China. You can get the huge sets that cost $300-$500 from Lego for around $100.
The only difference I can find is you don't get a box, and the Legos come in one big bag, rather than the neat labled bags you get from Lego.
Most of us don't support intellectual property theft.

Got a sweet looking Fournette jersey for my nephew, but it fell apart about the 3rd time they washed it.
Smh.

I think everyone i know, people at my office, friends, got Saints Superbowl Champion jerserys from China. They all looked fine and cost like $20 each.

A friend would buy a bunch of jerseys from China and sell them on Ebay. He made decent/good money. He moved on to flashlights which he made/broke even. It is hit or miss with the China market. It sounds like when you find a good China supplier you stick with them.

Not china websites but through ebay all the time. If you're willing to wait 2-6 weeks for your item to get there then it is usually a great deal. I mostly order electronic hobby type stuff and have had great results.
Crazy how cheap it is to have a package sent from freaking China. I bought a flea comb for 0.99 to check for infestation on my cat. One month later the postman was knocking on my door wanting a signature for the damn thing. I told him it was worth more in trouble for him to get out of his rural mail truck and knock on my door than I paid for the thing.

Has anyone ordered off of those websites and been screwed?
Ordered Saints Super Bowl Jerseys after the game. I cannot remember the name of the company in China, and I think it has changed names a few times.
I received just what I had ordered in a pretty timely manner considering. Very happy with my purchase and they still look like new; good quality. I think they were $25 a piece at the time.

Having lived there and bought many polos and pants from China, I should just warn you that while initially it seems like the shirts are good quality, they are not. They barely last a year. Granted I bought them for like 6 bucks a piece, so I wasn't too upset about it, but the quality is extremely poor.
That said, definitely trust them to make a suit for you. Only an Italian can make a better suit than a Chinaman.

I bought some phone cables and some sunglasses that must have been on a Chinese model whose head must have been bigger than Ted Kennedy's giant mellon

Sometimes you can find them on eBay, but hey are all over aliexpress. Just search for "lego compatible".
You can find exact copies of sets or something wild like this:

I had plantar fasciitis so was getting KT tape for $20 a roll at Walgreens. Bought it for $3 a roll on the Wish app, stuff was amazing. Also bought several watches for $2, one I am wearing now at work. Had it since February and still keeping perfect time. Other only worked for two months. Found it it was not waterproof.

I've been researching budget flashlights and related electronics and a lot of quality piece are coming out of China.
Tons of people buy them on sites like alibaba and fasttech.com
A good amount of vape gear comes from China and sites like fasttech too.
A turned aluminum part isn't revolutionary or difficult to make so these Chinese components make sense. A China made part can be 30 bucks and the American made part will be 70+.
