Jiangsu SUNEL transformers co. Ltd, where Money is their God, Cheating is their company policy and lying is their religion. If you really want to experience the nightmare of dealing with a typical Chinese company, this is one such company. I am writing this on the net just to caution anyone else who may want to buy Transformer using Alibaba or some other B2B portals from a Chinese company. Never trust their words.
This SUNEL transformer is totally untrustworthy and starting from their Designers (I really doubt if they follow any standards) to their big Boss all are aiming only to swindle the customers as much as possible. They will even lick your shoe before ordering and make you lick their’s after ordering. Just be beware of this Fraudster Company.
They will show the test certificates for any test you want even when they do not have the capability to test. They insist that they design the transformers to Chinese National Standards but they would not even know anything of it.
They commit attractive delivery terms and prices but you only will loose your advance if you order on them. They company boosts they have many overseas clients but it is all bullshit. They can not build a transformer to international standards.
Huh, ofcourse he is GOLD Supplier..so beware

Tony, Alibaba.com is well known company. It’s not a scam, nor it can be. It’s just a b2b marketing platform connecting buyers with suppliers…

unfortunately it is
i had contact with one person who cheated on me for 300$.

Michael, I’m sorry to hear that.
But, I believe Alibaba, as a company, has nothing with the person who cheated you, right?

alibaba’s abit of a bugger to be honest. There are alot of scams going on alibaba with the chinese, especially in electronics.
I dealt with a certain person named “Alan Huang” of “Ninghai Dikang Machinery Factory” attempting to purchase laptops. everything seemed to check out he was fully trustpassed and had a gold rating with alibaba yet took my money and ran.
ontop of that I had actually received a tracking number for my package that was supposedly on its way. couldnt have looked more genuine.
I dont know how the hell your supposed to find genuine suppliers apart from hand them all over around $600 for the minimum order quantities and hope that one actually sends you the goods.. you certainly cant trust any of alibaba’s trust pass checks or gold supplier status.
Ive since reported them to alibaba and they were deleted immidately.
if you’re going to trade on alibaba take the upmost extreme care, dont spend money that you cant afford, dont trust any trustpass profiles etc, dont be sweet talked and watch out for very low prices.

Our company is also listed as Gold Member on Alibaba and fortunately we can help many buyers supplying the goods they need who have had bad experience Chinese scammers.
We produce and source consumer electronics, promotional items, and source other non-food merchandising. let me know what you need and i will supply you, exactly as promised.
PLEASE BE AWARE! you cannot buy branded goods from China! there is no black market for these goods. all branded goods are more expensive in CHina than in the West. Believe me, i am in the international trade business for many years here in Shenzhen, China. Either they send nothing, or they send copies. 1000% sure there is NOT EVEN ONE Chinese supplier that has BRANDED goods.
For OEM or copy contact me and i give you honest products…
bye. Rudi

we r also the gold member in alibaba.though there was some bad voice from buyers, most of good suppliers are in and will never cheat buyers

I tried purchasing several products but the supplier expected me to send the money through Western Union? When I insisted on it being sent through PayPal…they refused.

Hello
I’m European living and doing business in China.
Rudi is right, never ever try to buy famous brands in China. Forget it. All brands are more expensive than in Europe and much more expensive than in States. Doesn’t matter it is made in China.
Gold Membership is nothing, scammers change their company names so fast that you can’t even imagine.
One of our customers before he became one, he was cheated for 17.000USD for one company, Gold Member – and that was only advance payment.
The biggest problem in fact its not cheaters, its quality of products. Every time when you order from China you have to make an inspection of goods. Come to China and do it by yourself or hire an independent source.
That is my advice.
And the most important, never ever send money to personal accounts or by Western Union!!!

Everybody is trying to save a % here and there and everybody thinks they can deal with China directly from thousands of miles away.
World has changed significantly.
I suppose this is where HK traders such as myself are positioned correctly and clients still give us the business knowing they can sleep at night without these concerns.
