Importing From China – Need A Reliable Supplier?

I contacted a supplier in China 3 months ago with view to importing their electrical goods this month. I am in the position of importing them and have just been informed by a friend that they take your money and run! (www.ausonto.com) – close escape.

-Also assuming the Chinese government doesn’t reveal all its spending (and the US most likely does the same).
-Links to good sources are more than welcome.
