No, but I am always paranoid of what I'm actually ordering now because I swear I've seen a bunch of fake shit on Amazon.

When I buy stuff online I usually buy it directly from the company's website if that's a possibility. Not every company bothers shipping from their own place but the one's that do you know you're buying something that is legit.

If I can't I just pick it up from a store.

Are you planning on buying counterfeit stuff? If so why?

Basically Feradyne (the parent company that owns Rage broadheads) took their issue with the Chinese knockoffs to the international trade commission. The ITC did the harshest thing they can legally do, and allow customs agents to confiscate any foreign imports that violate the Rage trademarks and patents.

There was a big deal lately in the hunting community , a company was making and selling broadheads for less then a third of the price . Guys didn't give a shit because the original product had been moved to China to be built . The parent company took legal action but it really doesn't mount to very much in the grand scheme of things.

When US companies send their products to China to be produced, what do you think the Chinese are doing with all the tooling after the production run is complete?

My wife bought a pair of jeans on amazon. When they came she knew right away
that they were knock offs as some of the detail stitching was missing. The slight
difference in cut from the authentic actually made them fit better, she kept them.

It's even worse then that , I've talk to guys that had jobs quoted over seas and they stole the design.

You live in the age of internet commerce and worldwide shipping and you are in a land absent of copyright protections wanting to set up manufacturing for your innovative new product.

I bought a couple things through the Ali site. A cycle jersey/pant kit for $35. The one I bought typically runs $120 for the real deal. The one I received is my go to kit now. I didn't expect that being a knock off.
Then some sports jerseys for $10/ea.

I've had several things never arrive and received a full refund no problem.

What happens is these get caught in customs and trashed (who really knows what they do with them).
The sellers play a numbers game. They can't catch them all.
