OK. I can't find an official statement from DealExtreme saying that they operate a no-stock business (or JIT). However, here is a link to another forum where many members mention that they do this:

Last link I posted also mentions this in many places.
Its 3:00am here, maybe tomorrow morning I will post a link that shows an official statement. Having worked with DX many times as I used to buy laptops and mobile phones in bulk from China, I know its true and clearly remember them making a blog post that even showed the process at different stages.
Oh look, someone is selectively choosing evidence. One of the oldest argument techniques for butthurt people. lemme guess, did you look up "dealextreme no stock business" on google?http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?156479-How-does-Deal-Extreme-work

Also,
Return address obviously would still be DX's. Postal permit, if you mean the customs declaration, almost all chinese websites use the same declaration, I bet you it was signed by the elusive Brad or Tom wasn't it? Those are the two main names these guys use for some reason.
No, postal permit is the sticker/stamp/mark placed on a package indicating that the postage is paid for by an business account, rather than standard postage. Like the business reply letters that you don't have to pay postage for. If they all have the same packaging, the same return address, and the same postal permit, CHANCES ARE, they're shipped from the same warehouse.
