basically, i think. I paid $155 for that goat stand, and it ranges from $210-$230 in stores, and other than branding, I cannot find a difference between them. Oh and free shipping over $99. I signed up for the pro account (free) and you get a little extra discount with that

I always see those ads for Vevor and it's hard to take the negative reviews seriously when they are rife with sinophobia, so I went ahead did some research, bought some things and I'm here to tell you:

It's the exact same items that you can buy in any Tractor Supply, Menards, Murdoch's, Bomgaar's, Ace Hardware, and the like.

And I don't mean similar to, or of a similar quality build. I mean it is the exact same items just rebranded for whatever store they are in.

Purchases I made include: a 600lbs capacity Goat Milking Stand, A wall mounted Hay Feeder, one of those push sweeper things, and a high pressure steam cleaner.

The goat stand is exactly the same as the one available at my closest Tractor Supply and Murdoch's. And I mean exactly, like down to the welds on the metal. And it was over $60 cheaper,

The hay feeder was about $20 cheaper and again exactly the same as the one available at the local Bomgaars.

The steam cleaner I bought kind of out of morbid curiosity and I wanted to see if it worked as well as the ads. Not quite, but it has tackled a number of very dirty jobs I have not been able to get clean without it. But it's not the miracle they make it out to be. Fantastic for cleaning the toilet. I don't have another steam cleaner to compare it to but I did see one that looked damn near similar with a different name for about $40 more than I paid.

Same kind of deal with the push sweeper. Actually works far better than I expected. Not great at cleaning up huge mess, but fantastic at maintaining a clean garage. Like you'll still have to pull out the broom once in awhile.

like what even is an economy and why do we need one? Madness.
