Well I have bought something from China and am still waiting for it to arrive.They didnt track it,so I opened a dispute and got a refund. Teddy hat still not arrived.
Because theyre using international standard mail,it wont arrive for weeks.

Forgive my ignorance but are Ariats made in China? Because if they are and its a factory sell off I might be tempted but otherwise, no. Its not going to be a cheap buy becuase there is a reserve on them and who knows how high that is?

I've bought a couple of items for around a £100 each that were posted from China. Come quickly, well wrapped, no problems.

Sounds fishy! China is very good at copying gear from other companies and doesn't give a hoot about patents - with no labels and packaging missing sounds like a copy and will most likely not be made of quality material.

Maybe contact Ariat and see if they have their boots made in China.

Ariats are made in China, I've just checked mine while washing off the inch of mud from hunting.

Takes a while to come but at the prices they can do them at........... worth the wait

I think almost everything we buy is made in China & then imported here. We make very little really.

As POLLDARK said and also payment is via paypal which you are covered by. As long as you are happy to wait the delivery time I don't think thereis much to worry about.
