Let us know if the stamps are good or not. I like their dies and have never had a problem but I have heard mixed reviews on the stamps.

so are these leftovers from when the US companies made them? Or are they rip offs? Or? SaveSave |

I understand the cost difference. And you know, for simple shapes, like circle dies and tags, there's not a lot of unique design work involved. If Ali Express sells these at a low cost and they work reasonably well, I don't have an issue with it. But when a US company designs a specific set like the bears above and someone copies it image for image and sentiment for sentiment, I have a big problem with it. I want US stamp companies to be around for a long time and they won't continue to invest in innovative products, quality lines, design teams, etc. if their designs are stolen and sold for pennies on the dollar. |

Oh wow. Not good. I don't follow stamp companies so I didnt know who was US based, etc. I agree with you statement about US companies. SaveSave |

I'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for. I will pay more for a high quality well designed product. And I will add that I love MFT and will support them. I've always had excellent customer service from them and appreciate having beautiful products to choose from.

problem is, what if people find these things on AliExpress and don't KNOW they're ripped off from other companies?? Or for the extremely low price, do you- as a consumer- just have to assume that anything besides the very basic shapes has been ripped off from somewhere else?

Exactly I ordered a die off of AE never saw it before but today on another thread some shared a link to the original never new it was a copy of some other companies die.
I feel a bit bad but as a consumer I'm also not going to research everything I may buy off of AE

I'm wondering if MFT really are made in the US? How would we know? Do they assert that for all their items? some? none?

I used to buy stamps off AE. After having my card compromised SEVERAL times (and I had a card ONLY for AE) I stopped buying. Also I had guilt especially when I clearly knew I was buying the "knock offs". So only real products for me now.
I do however LOVE the washi tape they have for sale on AE.
