When I shop on Amazon and see the obvious China companies that sell the same product but have the strangest names. Definitely avoid those products. If I see a.company only ships via fedex, I avoid doing business with that company. Dang, I know I have more just can't think of them right now with morning brain.
Edit: I avoid many major brands too. I belive them to be selling because of the name alone rather than having a quality product anymore. Dr Scholls is one of those,
They're all random names consisting of 7 capital letters too DINGBAO, VXSUFEN, WEGTHOS, etc.
At least "dingbao" can be pronounced. Some of the others sound like names for elder gods in bad Lovecraftian fanfic.
Love it when they consist only of consonants. Saw something along the lines of XYGDLFW the other day
Ia! XYGDLFW ftaghn!
yeah, I do still buy from Chinese companies sometimes, but only if they are smart enough to use a name that doesn't sound like someone just used a random password generator and said "good enough"... or ... whatever the Cantonese equivalent of "good enough" is, I suppose.
