Are the words in front of "Bike Co" generic, or specific to you, or random?
They are identical on both invoices, and not my name, just a made up company name that used the name of my house (misspelled in the same way) as part of the company name (not wanting to broadcast my whole address was the reason for me editing the images).
The wording of the invoice goods descriptions seems identical and doesn't relate to what either company actually shipped to me (neither order included any controllers, for example).
The more I think about it, the more sense it makes that both GBK and BMS are just agents, who don't hold stock. This, apparently, isn't that unusual in China. It seems that sometimes sellers there don't actually ever own any products to sell, they just act as agents for distributors of manufacturers. We saw the same thing a few years ago with Headway, where the person selling us cells wasn't an employee of Headway, but was an independent agent who collected money from us, took their cut, and then passed the order to Headway for them to ship out cells.
