I used a clone of this and it didn't last long; water entered and fucked it up quite fast; I went back to shimano.

This works this year for a realy lot of km and much more than 50.000 meter down in rough terrain.
Hey i have the same issue with my frame i ordered a couple of derrailer hangers to see if the issue gets fixed, seems to be a QA issue
Let's not forget that we are buying frames at less than a third of the price of "reputable" brands, from a remote end of the world that does not always have good reputation. Unless we are completely naive, we know that we are gambling. If it's too good to be true, it may well be. I purchased mine with this in mind, and don't expect any warranty. Moreover, there are several manufacturers using the same mold, and not only Haideli is in question. I bought mine from Winow Cycles, and their attitude is no better.I 100% agree; the behaviour of Haideli is very chinese, when the problems come to surface they try to avoid direct confrontation. I also didn't expect any warranty, and even if they would offer a real warranty, it could cost over 200$ in shipping and maybe 3 months transit time. I was aware of this when I bought the frame and I knew that a new model (even on reputable brands) brings more problems. I just was hoping they made a carbon copy of Santa Cruz, but it's not the case unfortunately.
Otherwise, I'm pretty impressed by how the bike rides. The flexing issue does not impact me yet, as long as the press-fit of the bearings holds, but I'm not very heavy and I don't make my bike slide from side to side like cybrsrce.
