Everyone has had at least a few. I once got in an entire container of moldy furniture from Indonesia. Just a few months ago I got in a container that was confiscated by the office of cultural relics before it left china. When they finally got it released they neglected to wrap the pieces properly, every third piece was damaged. Such a pity because the antiques were gorgeous. Horror stories?

The container arrived and most of the items inside could be considered firewood. We just had a bad experience with a 20′ container from China as things were not packaged well

I'm not sure if you know of them... Ningbo Art International Furniture Trading Co. Ltd. I sent them a deposit of $4000 USD months ago and they still do not have any goods ready to leave. The General manager had promised to send me back my deposit a month ago. After many emails and countless ignored phone calls I am not sure how to proceed. Any ideas?? Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am still dealing with a couple of suppliers directly from Ningbo but
