Charlie Chan and the case of the fake Husky

[spike60]

Are you sure? I wonder if there is not a middleman who imports them and ships them out?

No, it was definitely shipped from China, not antywhere in the US. The fake Husky box was placed in a slightly larger brown box.

If I get it, I'm going to put a used 372 tank on there, (if it'll fit), and see if the thing will run.

Hurry up and get down here. I'm gonna start starving ole Blue tonight and in a few days he'll be real hungry. I'll get him to sniff that saw and all we gotta is follow ole Blue to China and then to the seller. Might a take few days over air and water but we'll get them sumabiches. You sharpen up ya Bowie knife and I'll bring a frying pan. Nothing ole Blue likes better than Chinese mountain oysters.....

I think they serve them just down the road at the Ming Moon.

Of course they are preying on the American and other places looking to get the deal without doing the research and/or where price point is more important than ethics.. A case of you get what you pay for...but in this case I doubt that's even true. Yet another risk of online sales vs. dealers who hopefully buy thru established brand distributes.

It has been attempted to sell those saws (both "Husky" and "Stihl" versions) as the real thing at at least one Internet Sales site here in Norway. When I contacted the seller (a Norwegian) he said that he really believed they were the real thing, but the ad got pulled......

I have seen them on Evilbay UK too.

As they say you get what you pay for...

What a POS....Sometimes a person can find a decent deal and there is times where it sounds to good to be true...So there ya go....

In all honesty, I purchased my 383XP from a member here, he cut me a deal.
I paid what I thought was a fair price, and I hope he got what he thoguht was fair.
The deal was not too good to be true.
Looking at the box pics, I think I would think it was a real Husky

Man! I can't believe you guys!...

My wife is Chinese and her family back in the old country owns ali express. They bought the rights from Husky to sell their factory seconds at a discounted price....

Seriously....

Seriously....

I hope she call the family and let them know of the tinker toy that was sent...Maybe she can make them send that dude a diffrent saw that isnt into pieces ....

 

[Country1]

Now why would she want to do that?..

If they did that for him, they'd have to do it for everyone. Just the price ya pay I guess for buying Husky factory seconds....:msp_wink:

The worst part of it is that the forgery doesn't just include saws but literally any item that is considered a premium brand. Having been over there many times I've seen it all, there are several levels of quality in their fakes, some are done cheaply, others take some degree of inspection to determine they are fake. They are priced according to the quality of the fake. Hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars of goods are counterfeited each year, US customs does a pizz poor job of catching them. Look for it to only get worse, sad part is once they figure out they can move a reasonable volume, they will improve they quality to a point where it will be even more difficult for the average joe to figure them out. I've bought excellent copies of name brand watches to give as gifts for around 150-200 dollars apiece that a small town jeweler prolly wouldn't know it's a fake, compared to the 15 dollars copies sold on the street. The same will happen with saws in time.

 

[Country1]

Yeah, a common copy is the 70cc 4 stroke Honda engine in pit bikes.....

 

[Guido Salvage]

The same will happen with saws in time.

That is why I buy old, used saws....

 

[Country1]

Sucks for your customer. Hope the letter to the CC company works and the Sh!t Bags at ali express get the money revoked!

 

[The Count]

not gonna happen guys; forget it. do you think this is the first guy coned ?
think again. if every hoaxed Joe got his money back, would those forgers be in business?

the money are bygones I think. deal with it.
deception is a reality since the Snake and Eve.
