Seller is in China

I wanted to buy an item that I needed quickly, so I chose UK Only. The listing showed the seller to be in Manchester. I received email comfirmation of the order, which showed that the seller is actually in China. 

 

I could have bought the item from Ali Express for half price, but I paid more for get it faster. How are Chinese sellers able to fiddle the item location?

The location on listings show the location of the item,  not where the seller is registered.

  

 Many sellers use a UK  depot / forwarding company to facilitate a faster dispatch,  this is all above board.

 

The way to check is to click on the seller's feedback to bring up their profile,  and there you will see their country of registration, and make your decision to buy from them,  or not.

Do you know if you are going to receive the item you purchased . I was told 3 day delivery item isn't in the UK. There is a union jack plastered all over the listing pics  I bought from.

13 days from purchase to get a refund what a joke.
