Buying C Stands from Alibaba - guidance needed

TimTomTum

Hey Vitaliy and the PW crew,

I know that Vitaliy is a lot of experience with chinese factories. I have been searching for affordable C Stands for ages and basically already decided to just buy Avenger ones for 250€ each. BUT now I found an offer on Alibaba which seem to be the ones that build the KUPO C Stands. I have never ever bought something from alibaba no idea how it works:

Cheers and happy holidays Tim

Well, send them request. You can tell that you need samples, direct payment by paypal.
Note that shipping will be really expensive.

Alibaba is not made for small orders usually.

I purchased some Flashpoint C-Stands from Adorama and they are excellent quality. On sale for $119 right now and includes free shipping. They include the 40" arm and 2 of the gobo heads. Highly recommended. Seems like a good deal if you are in the US. They are back ordered til the Jan 22, 2017... if you can wait the price and quality are right.
