Is Milanoo Scam True or Not?

Over the past two years, as Milanoo developed amazingly fast, we notice that the so called “Milanoo scam” started to show up in some forums or blogs. It’s not at all surprising to us. Being a devoted reviewer of the China wholesale market, we’ve been a witness of the development and progression of all major China-based international online stores.

Almost for every fast-developing store, it seems inevitable to encounter the dilemma that complaints or distrust about them emerges only naturally. We guess this is how noise about Milanoo scam comes out too. After all, no companies are born perfect. If the complaints arising amongst customers are within the appropriate range, it can only explain that the store still has some aspects to improve.

I have a long list of posts reviewing the wedding dresses offered by various Chinese stores here at my site. You can use the search box at the right top to search for topics of your interest. Before you go ahead, I would encourage you to read “My Criteria for Reviewing Wedding Dresses Offered by Chinese Suppliers” first.

Wedding gowns made by Chinese manufacturers are first of all famous for the unbeatable pricing. While a common wedding dress in your local store requires hundreds of US dollars, you can get it at around $100 only; for high-end wedding gowns which may cost you over $1,000 USD, they are available at the Chinese stores at $150-$350 only. When a promotional code or discount is offered, the pricing is even more alluring. Even without the extra discounts, they are already very attractive in terms of pricing. That is exactly why more and more people choose to shop their wedding dresses directly from online Chinese suppliers.

Creative Home and Garden Item: Mini Portable Sewing Machine

Every day I receive dozens of newsletters or promotional emails from online Chinese stores. I subscribe to these emails just to get myself alert to the latest great offers as well as the interesting products. A few days ago, I got an email from Focalprice.com (a Shenzhen based shopping site), which promote their collection of Creative Home and Garden products and was impressed by the portable sewing machine.

Coincidently, the next day one visitor of my site asked me about my opinion about this kind of product. Be honest, as a housewife I myself am not familiar with the mini sewing machines. I am not a good housewife and I never do any sewing with a machine – I do some quick fixes on clothes or bags with a needle anyway. Besides, I never see any people around me use this stuff to sew clothes or do fixing jobs. Considering that this machine may help me somehow with my housework and also a good item for re-sellers, I decided to do some research on it. Below are my findings:

The machine is compact in size, fitting well in hand being portable and easy to use.

It’s great for quick repairs or jobs that conventional desktop machines can’t handle, like sewing curtains while on the rod, or seal up a torn pocket without having to remove your pants.
