Are you just suspicious or do you have some kind of evidence that this out fit is not fit to deal with ? It is not really fair to bash a company with out giving a reason in my opinion I do appreciate a heads up when its appropriate though..

Site looks suspicious to me.
Those prices are waaaaaaay low.
The old story of :"If it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't true" should come into play when ordering something from anyone.
However I would like to know how you come to the conclusion that they do something wrong!

Looks like the only way to pay is by money transfer to China. Not much chance of getting a refund or cancelling payment when your order doesn't arrive.

I wouldn't touch it with a 20ft pole! Just the write up of the terms is suspect, not to mention the suspicious low prices.

Anybody order from them yet? They have a $400 minimum. I would order, something less expensive, to check them out, but no way am I gonna wire 4bills.... Paypal, I would do, but they don't take it. TF giant P47 arf and DA 50, $445. Such a deal! When HK first started in buisness, I was dubious, but felt OK cause they took paypal. But this outfits prices are just insane, top brands too.

That's the tip-off. Brand name good below wholesale. American made gas engines sold from China. No protection for the buyer. Cash in advance. Minimum purchase. STOP looking at the pricing and protect yourself. Scams always work on greed.
