>>711607I think it's more a matter of placing a value on the 'reliability' of the goods on Alibaba.
If the goods have a 20% lemon-rate, that could be quite the inconvenience-- ESPECIALLY if the goods start to act faulty weeks or months after you've bought them.
Though on the other hand... frequently, the goods are far cheaper on Alibaba than in U.S. stores, and are regularly even THE EXACT SAME GOODS as the ones sold in the U.S. stores.
So... it's a balancing act between 'reliability' and 'cost'.
I honestly don't know how to properly decide on the issue myself.
