The trouble with China, purchasingwise, is that so much known brand stuff is made there,

The difference is that, if you're buying direct from China, you've got very little comeback if the product is faulty.

You might get a refund,  but you've no legal right to it.
[/quote]The point I was making is, buying directly from China, as you say, is very much getting what you pay for, and agree there's no chance of recompense if faulty etc. It's just very disappointing, after making a researched decision to buy a named make quality item, you find out it's made in China. Admittedly there will be a guarantee on the item, but the stigma of Made in China certainly takes the wind out of your sails, when you thought the item was made in the UK/Germany/USA etc.
