Medicine Man 93 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 So burn them creating an environmental issue rather than donate to a needy cause like hill tribe villagers or similar. More crazy logic... Link to post Share on other sites

Scott Tracy 700 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Fake goods are destroyed world wide. Incineration is the preferred method. An appropriate company with appropriate safeguards on their incinerator is the appropriate way to go. I know not if this company has these safeguards, but I expect they do, and I also suggest no one here knows otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites

Donut21 28 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Look on line and see the fake goods being sold via the WISH site. I understand it is an American company having goods delivered direct from China. Link to post Share on other sites
RJRS1301 9,788 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Oh look at the "low rent" tourists with LV luggage at the airport, you know there is no way they would have gained admittance to the LV shop. Customs should spend a day or two at check-in confiscating the goods Link to post Share on other sites
