Title: Multiple storefronts for the same vendor
Post by: SVChucko on January 15, 2022, 06:20:27 PM
Anyone who's been shopping for Chinese bikes and parts will start to recognize that the same companies own several storefronts under different names.
As an aid to the newcomer to Chinertown, here are a few of the ones I've noticed. Additions and corrections welcomed.

thanks a lot for this list.
 I am a newbie and I am trying to deal with different sellers and manufacturers.

I realized that a model from Shenzen Tantan (FM06)

is the same (?) as the one on the Dengfu website (M06):

has someone noted this?

It's very common for several Chinese vendors to have essentially the same product under slightly different names. Look at all the sellers hawking the FM831, for an example.

They could be independent distributors getting their products from the same factory. Or the design, and maybe the tooling, could have been sold to several different factories by an independent designer.

The stores I've listed in the original post are the ones I'm 95% sure are the same company.
