The brand is okay if you buy from a local store that uses the higher price to cover average losses. International shipment can however take many months and you are always pretty much screwed if you need to return goods to Asia. The price of goods couldn't possibly cover additional shipping for a 10% failure rate. Buy from here if you are ready to take high risks for a marginally higher average profit.
