i want to get figures from a site called AliExpress where you can buy generic dinosaur figures that you can buy and i could but what if the site is for only employees to buy at this site and not for customers only?

I think it's wholesale...meaning it's for retailers to purchase in bulk amounts and sell in their stores. I checked the site, it seems to be bootlegs galore...

I say no it is not for customers to buy. Only Retailers can purchase from them, meaning that, if you don't own a shop, you cant buy from them.

I bought items from aliexpress and am a customer.

That is a lie!

It was a mistake. I have seen sites like this, which also happened to be in China, where the owners only sell in bulk to retailers, and I got confused.

We're not liars, thank you.

Sorry. I apologize. Sick so not thinking straight.

That site is knock-off central and with shipping costs factored in you're better off buying the higher quality real thing from reputable sellers. Sites like that are going to make it harder and harder for companies like Safari and Collecta and losing one of them would be a massive disappointment.  I really think we're in a golden age of dino representation and it would be a shame if third rate knock off artists blow it up. Collecta is particularly being ripped off on that site.

I like the site. Cause i can get other items cheaply. :)
