Description
Ordered a single hardware item on FaceBook, paid with PayPal, order confirmed, began to receive a series of weekly emails purportedly to explain shipment status - order never arrived. Finally an email from seller arrived saying item had been delivered to my front porch 30 days earlier. I'm home every day and typically received numerous packages from USPS, UPS, Amazon, FedEx, etc. and have never missed a package or had one stolen. When I contacted seller all they did was give me a tracking number that meant nothing. My experience with Banbain Trade was identical to someone else who reported to BBB, so I decided to report my experience.
