Has anyone noticed that the TaoBaoBee website has been down for a week?  Anyone know what happened to them?

Don't know but another member has recived the "wrong" items the other day and now cannot sort it out. I have 2 ssks from them that have just cleared customs. I hope there hasn't been a "mistake" there as well.

They weighed it wrong firstly 1.2kg and they refused to answer any questions about taking pics. I'm a bit worried TBH.

I have tracking and it has just cleared customs. But I'm not sure that they will be the SSK's.

This is one of the many reasons why you will never see Taobao-related purchasing recommended at keyboardlover.com.

Sorry, these are moderator grandfathered in.

Does that mean if you made the joke pre-moderation then you can still make it post-moderation?

Nice deal for them.
Make some money by playing brokers.

Then attract loads of customers over a short period by offering free charges. And run with the money/items.

Hello everyone,

I believe at least some of these guys reside in the US.
And they registered other domains:
4designadeck.com, http://www.taobaobee.com, gardenaccentsinc.com, anatomyandphysiologyquiz.com, comicbookcollectorsclub.com, http://www.lovelikeghosts.com, http://www.kevinfarrisphotography.com, nuteakdecking.com, skrewcap.com, bryantheatingandcooling.net.

Can anyone living in the US follow up on this?
