Meh, I buy stuff from alibaba from europe, cheap stuff like e15 worth of usb connectors. They seem to manage just fine shipping, for free too, thanks to subsidized china mail. For those low amounts they don&#x27;t even bother with returns; most are so afraid of bad ratings&#x2F;open disputes that they&#x27;ll ship another batch the moment you voice a complaint.<p>Not saying I disagree with you I guess, it&#x27;s also about westerners finding alibaba a bit too exotic (and dangerous), but once you get used to the asian style shopping, it&#x27;s fine.
