Hey guys!!

I have a question about buying in clothes and shoes etc. So I realized that shoes and clothes are very cheap on aliexpress and dhgate, but are these actually legal to sell? I have no idea if they are clones or not, since they are so cheap, I assume they are clones but i dont know. for example :

Cheap Shoes For Women The Chameleon Men'S And Women'S Shoes Zx Flux Xeno New Reflective Black Snake Spirit Leisure Shoes Leather Shoes From Mango3366, $26.18| Dhgate.Com

so what do I do? thanks

    Well, I have never bought clothes from sites like that, but if it's an obvious clone product with brand name and everything, for a much lower price than what you pay in stores....then just don't buy it. Are you going to sell the clothes or is it for yourself?

      Thanks, I changed my mind. I was trying to sell these shoes but it seems that they are shitty quality and i can get problems with selling them (obviously, but still). thanks for helping me out

    I would guess that 99% of all brand clothes you see there are fakes. Any site that advertises merchandise cheaper than the official manufacture's website is a fake, feel free to prove me wrong here..

    Statistics show about 56% of products on alibaba and aliexpress are cheap knock-off (Fake)

    So yes, they probably are fake.

    DHGate and Aliexpress not only sell fakes that can land you in big trouble, but they also have a bad reputation for scams by suppliers listed on their sites.

    You will also find that although the prices might look cheap, they are not as low as you can get by buying direct from manufacturers. You will have trouble finding genuine manufacturers on those sites
    or on Aliexpress' parent site Alibaba.

    There are plenty of options once you learn about safe sourcing, but you are taking a risk buying without knowing what you are doing.

    For reasons why you should look in places other than China, see: Importers should consider countries other than China
