Standard eBay disclaimer, a lot of Chinese vendors use the same or similar wording. They almost always ship to the US as a gift item so I have never heard of any US delivery hit with Shipping/Brokerage Fees. Also Economy shipping from China usually means ChinaPost/USPS. When was the last time the USPS opened up a small package from anywhere.

Ask yourself why any manufacturer would want to conceal their identity.
I am assuming it is a clone of a clone. Probably with a shoddy battery. MTBR has said over and over that this light will not output 5000 lumens, neither did I say that. It is about 2000 lumens based on power consumption from all the threads I have seen. Still 2000 lumens is not shabby provided the light doesn't burn out after its first use on High Intensity.
