Oops I did it again!

You could ask ‘chat’ to check for you.

If I am buying electrical, I make sure it doesn't come from China because two items in the past were dangerous so they ended up in the bin.

I now don't drive, so I rely a lot on online.

Well worth looking the company up on Trustpilot. The reviews stopped me from buying some lovely dresses from a supposedly London company, which turned out to be in China.
I did fall foul of a similar offer a while ago, they would only accept returns to China which cost a lot. I never did get my money back.

If venturing away from my usual sites I always check reviews and do a little research.
They’re so crafty.

I also fell for a kaftan which looked attractive and was supposed to be reduced to half price.
Then I got an email which indicated it was from Amsterdam.
Then I next one said China and my heart sank.
I did write it off but unexpectedly it arrived about two weeks ago. It was in a plastic bag , creased up and certainly not worth what I paid but now it has dropped out a bit and when it has an iron run over I shall wear it in the garden on hot nihjyt.
Ihope I have learned my lesson.
Incidentally there was no delivery note in the parcel or suggestion for returning it, just nothing at all.

Yes, everything DOES come from China nowadays.

Way back, when I was a kiddie, everything had "Empire Made" stamped on it.

If they advertise the selves as a small uk company there’s every chance that they are buying in from China.
MrP buys from small uk companies by these are specialist engineering companies.
Even then you can’t be 100% certain as there are thousands of Chinese companies registered in the uk.
