Has anyone bought anything from these guys or is it a case of "you get what you pay for"?

My understanding is that there's a reasonable assurance that you'll receive what you paid for (Alibaba holds the payment in escrow pending delivery confirmation), so "scam" would be unfairly harsh.

That said, what you paid for is unquestionably a cheap Chinese manufactured item (not implying that is redundant). But at least they're not, IMO, representing it as something other than that.

Or trample on Rapha's trademark. (I suspect they would be miffed at the use of their name and font, despite the wayward "L" in the name.)

Indeed, I was only alluding to the siteā€”no question about the certain disregard for intellectual property rights.

Also, the design is stolen from an Austin-based graphic designer...

My sons u10 soccer team used the sight one year for uniforms. It worked out but you get what you pay for. I highly doubt the fit will be that nice and how long it will hold up is a gamble. Some jerseys held up great, others not so much.
