I've bought jerseys and never had a problem

That said I would never by anything that could mess up and actually do damage off one the those sites (like lightbulbs).


I knew a guy who bought one of those jerseys and the dyes they used were highly toxic. Every time he wore it chemicals were seeping into his skin. He finally died after about 3 years.

I had a roommate in college who thought he was purchasing 22" rims for $12 from some Chinese website. Turned out to be rims for a model car. Actual size was closer to 2".

What always gets me is the kids candy that's made China.

Some say it doesn't matter because candy is candy. Thats a stupid fricking statement.

It doesn't have to be US made (although I prefer it); made in England, Japan, Germany, Canada or even Mexico or Thailand.
Those countries don't have a reputation for killing their citizens with poison food.

I used DH gate to get a Brees jersey and Fournette jersey (one we wore against MS state last year) Only issue is the NIke swoosh on the fournette jersey is a bit out of place. Would recommend!

Crazy how cheap it is to have a package sent from freaking China.


The Chinese government subsidizes the shipping. There's also a deal between the USPS, eBay and ChinaPost for ePackets sent to the US. Sellers there basically pay zero to ship here.

Same website? I really am tempted to buy LED light bulbs. They are a fraction of the cost that I can get them for here, but I'm worried I will burn down my house lol


That would be funny as shite if your house burnt down because you were buying Chinese lightbulbs.



Assuming no one got hurt or injured.

I bought a box of ties and pocket squares. No problems with either but I was real uneasy putting a credit card on there.
