The customer service piece will likely work better on Amazon, but there will be some initial pain.<p>The low prices on Alibaba have a lot to do with sellers that provide zero customer service.  For example, order something at the beginning of Chinese New Years.  You&#x27;ll go two straight weeks, or more, no communication, nothing ships.  Similar for returns...many just don&#x27;t support it at all.  There&#x27;s also a fair amount of mispresentation...what ships isn&#x27;t at all what&#x27;s pictured.<p>Amazon, of course, sticks it to sellers that do these sorts of things, so you&#x27;ll see a cycle where it starts with unbelievable low prices, then the pricing will normalize after Amazon puts the screws to the sellers.
