That can derail you, what is in China is not always so in the US. I have been shipped chipped, broken and obsolete versions of what was ordered. Key switches for cars instead of a mountable boat dash switch, obviously used parts, and other tales. Doing the biz is fun, but be prepared to lose a few times too, part number changes, plus cost and big shipping charges. If you overpay when some stuff got short shipped -- be prepared " we will gladly credit your NEXT order" and "our records don't show that" so zero refunds seems to be the way it works. I have credits several places, so maybe $50. US, that is probably gone forever. Ali Baba tried to hijack one order, almost lost a $200. piece on that deal and it took a month to get it fixed and the stuff here, only because the company worked with me on it – way too close !! Fun ordering, like La Vegas getting here.
Just be Prepared EH !! ----- Cal

Jerry,
I went to the alibaba link you referenced and got a "sample price" of $200, not $30.
