these are probably from the same manufacturer as those found on Ebay and sewing sites. Like much of Walmarts stuff sold online it actually is shipped from a vendor, in this case Kudosale. I would have no problem ordering one here, as I've had no problems with the two I ordered off Ebay to convert two belt driven vintage machines to handcranks. No worries, and hand cranking is fun, restful, and quiet.
