This is a good point. I've noticed Chinese sellers with terrible English advertising with "ships from within Canada". Corporate laws in my country have become so loose that you can rent a mail box and use that as your address which is what I've done with my business for mail protection as my office is technically my house. In some jurisdictions, shareholders and directors can reside in other countries making it easy to use the corporation as a shell or front for other nastiness. As long as the tax man gets his cut they don't care much.A company can have a business address anywhere in the world, and similarly, the fulfillment center can be anywhere in the world, and not necessarily the same place. I have been getting things from Shenhzen, Hongkong, Taipei, and Singapore over the last couple of years.
This is a good reason to use a payment method with teeth! PayPal has given me excellent results adjudicating disputes (or total lack of communication) with vendors. Credit cards would be next and don't even think about using a debit card as they have zero protection! Also, if they don't have PayPal as an option, beware! They have probably been dropped by PayPal for bad reasons...this has been going on for over 6 months now
Alibaba is only for the west the ! That would be about right ,I would expect most to be bought through 3rd parties who bypass international trade regulations. There was a recent article about their obtaining the latest (or near latest) generation chip fab equipment that most countries had denied them access to. But that is pure speculation based on little real evidence and a bit of personal antagonism from having bad experiences buying falsely advertised and poor quality goods from their vendors.
Not the complete story.Alibaba is only for the west the ! That would be about right ,

It was a naughty comment of mineNot the complete story.
I am in S.E.Asia and I occasionally buy from Alibaba and Aliexpress.
It doesn't matter. Even the US military has been a victim of counterfeiters.I do wonder
where does the Chinese space and aerospace industry purchase from ?
I'm quite surprised he didn't mail you a couple of good ones gratis along with his response!I emailed the company and the CEO indicated that they had a bad batch in 2017 or 2018.
I expected more than a "sorry you got one" because they knew they had a problem and discontinued the product. I thought about returning it to the surplus store, but decided it wasn't worth the gas for the trip and the hassle.I'm quite surprised he didn't mail you a couple of good ones gratis along with his response!
I have two of those and a 3200 I think. I wish the breadboards had power rails. I taped one to one of the ET-3100's after I fixed a ripple problem on the power supplies.Even my old Heathkit ET-3100 Electronics Trainer
