Just a few guys that win contests... however, even if you receive raws I would get them tested.
I will break it down how I literally could make a thread and pull this same shady practice.
I have China sources that will ship for roughly 60% the price that PurplePanda, Dynamite, or Anne charge. The thing is I have no idea the quality. I come in here and I price match the competitors on here or slightly undercut them and still make ~40% margins. Whenever you buy from me, I just turn around and by from my China source and put your address as the recipient. I buy it for cheap and sell it to you for more without adding any value to the chain.
The downside to this is that the customer is buying raws as blind as you can get. Whereas raw sources on this board buy in bulk and get their bulk shipments tested for quality (or at least we hope they do frequently), there is no quality control check in the reshipping method.
This is what I believe [mention]Beligas Rep [/mention] is doing since he lacks the capital to actually purchase raws in bulk and does not have a domestic or international warehouse.
He also claims in an old post that he was just drop-shipping for Beligas. This is a huge lie as an finished product manufacturer would never resell their raws this way. Additionally, their is no way any “large distributor” of [mention]Beligas Rep [/mention] is purchasing kg’s of raws and sending him upwards of $50k on a blind reshipper.
