Should I buy from China

This is usually one of the next questions I am asked: "Should I buy from China?"

The answer is - it depends. If you are looking to purchase BRAND NAME items, you'd be best avoiding purchasing it from China. There are a lot of fakes and knock-offs coming out of China, and it's very hard to know if what you are opurchising is legitimate. If it's too good to be true, it's ually fake, and unfortunately with product coming from China thats usually the norm

From a Coach Handbag to a Rolex Watch to a Sandisk Memory Card - you'd be best sticking to US distributors.

Now though, if you are looking top buy GENERIC products though - eg a no-name brand memory card, USB cable, knapsack, stationary or the like - feel free to get out there and buy from China. You'll get great pricing and amazing savings!
