鴉PieFedFind the real item?
submitted by
I’ve seen 4 site on FB (I know I know) all offering the same exact item (a mag safe adjustable phone stand that can clip to things or has a tripod and adjusts). They are literally all the same thing for the same price. I would assume they’re from the same manufacturer. So how can I find out which is the real source, or does it matter and just pick one.
I'd say it doesn't matter. If it is the same product, chances are they are all reselling from the same manufacturer.
Seems likely that it's dropshipped. So I would wager there is no real source
Aliexpress, you'll probably find it for significantly cheaper as well.
When ever Im in one of those knick-knack stores, I like to play a game of "find the jewelry from Aliexpress". Its usually the stuff claiming to be hand-made :(
Edit: Is this it: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007016568231.html ?
Aliexpress has an increasing number of items that apparently can't be shipped to my state, for some undisclosed reason. I use it only infrequently, but recently I had occasion to look for two items, and it wouldn't let me add them to my cart unless I changed my exit node to a different country or state.
I have no idea what that's about, but it made me sad. Sometimes you just want a cheap nicknack that you'll receive some months in the future after forgetting you ordered it.
I'm not OP, BTW. I'm just injecting commentary.
They've been scaling back sales to the US due to the tariffs and changes to the exceptions not requiring import duties on things under $800
I'm in Australia, only thing I've had issues with are archery stuff, which sometimes gets marked as firearms, which triggers our customs agents.
Probably all the same company tracking which variations in how they advertise it get the most clicks.
It's always the same steps.
Reverse image search the stock photo
You'll get a lot of results obviously find your way to the wholesaler if you want bulk purchase
If you just want one for yourself it will come up on aliexpress/dh gate/temu where you can also find similar items
Thank you!
@[email protected] I don't understand how this is profitable. We were shopping for a kitchen light fixture. Found the same light at several stores. Ordered it from one that claimed to be in Italy. Item shipped from China. I understand A/B testing and having multiple storefront you treat live burner phones when you get a reputation/review issue, but these sites were all using the same retargetting to place ads in my socials for weeks after the light was installed. Normally I add users to a list NOT to retarget after conversion. The other stores carrying the same product kept advertising something I had already purchased.
