Guess I won't be ordering any $700 suitcases from China

I went global entry. It gives you everything tiered beneath it. When I fly with the family, they get get to bypass the lines along with me. I love it. Well worth the price of admission. It sucks that something so one off like not realizing your online purchase is counterfeit can screw it up. It's not like the seller says, "BTW, this item is counterfeit".

Ignorance is no excuse... And the majority of the people are doomed for it.

If I had $700 to drop on a purchase, it wouldn't be a suitcase from China...

I would ask a family to borrow one before spending any kind of extra money on a suitcase.

Often you have no clue where it's being shipped from until it is shipped

Amazon is getting rife with scammers, just like ebay.

As mentioned in previous posts, Ive "purchased" items that were never shipped. The seller was supposedly an American company with tons of positive reviews.. it was all fake.

Amazon made good on one of the refunds but the other I never got the other because their claims system online was quite convoluted via the phone app and never got where I needed to in order to file the claim. That and the amount was under $5

Recently got a killer deal on a Dewalt right angle drill, the one that now use the 20volt batteries instead of the 18v.. of which Im heavily invested in..
So far it seems legit.. but the price was phenomenal for the entire kit. Compared to local stores.
