Hivintage is an online store that claims to sell men’s and women’s winter jackets, mentioned as ‘stormsuits’ on the website. The site is more than a year old, but it does not seem to be very popular as it has no Alexa rank. However, it has been showing up in our list of most-searched websites, which suggests that Hivintage may be running ads to capitalize on online shoppers looking to buy winter clothing at this time of the year.
I found that the items seem to be lifted from various websites such as Amazon and Aliexpress. These products are supposedly being offered at comparatively lower prices on Hivintage or are out of stock on other website.
The website becomes more suspicious when you consider that it is not just the products that have been copied; the entire website seems to be using copied content. I found that the text being used on the ‘About Us’ page is being used by 58 websites and Facebook pages, most of which are selling clothing items. The full list is given at the end of the article.
Hinvitage accepts PayPal for payments. However, the PayPal account being used by this website is owned by ‘Shenzhen Feiyachi Industrial Co. LTD’. It is a Chinese company that is involved in the sale of Cleaning brushes for firearms; Apparatus for filling cartridge belts; Cartridge loading apparatus; Cartridge pouches; hunting…’. Therefore, it does not seem to be a clothing company at all.

There is absolutely no information given on the website about the company that is running Hivintage. There is no mention of Shenzhen Feiyachi Industrial Co. LTD either. There is no phone number or address, including a return address, provided on the website. The only contact information given is an email ID, which turned out to be fake when tested.

The images and descriptions of the products being sold by Hivintage seem to be copied from other websites such as Amazon and Aliexpress. The prices on the website are considerably lower than competitors, which might signal that it is a scam. The website content is not original and there are at least 58 online stores using the same text. Therefore, Hivintage looks like a low-quality store using plagiarized images and content.
There is some evidence that Hivintage is a Chinese website, as the Paypal account being used to collect payments belongs to a Chinese company named Shenzhen Feiyachi Industrial Co. LTD. This company is not in the business of selling clothing, which is another major suspicious sign that Hinvintage is not a legitimate online store.
The only contact information provided by Hivintage is an email ID that does not work. This means that there is no way to get in touch with the company after placing an order. Despite being active for more than a year, Hivintage has only one customer review where it has been alleged that it is a scam. It is advisable to avoid shopping on Hivintage as it does not seem to be a genuine online store.
