It would depend on what products and what vendor. If you read some of the review of supplier threads, I believe there is a thread there where someone ordered many of a product, received something totally different, and had an endless go round trying to even get them to understand what the problem was (not sure if that ever got squared away). There is also the risk, depending on what product you're ordering, of something getting hung up in customs. I've ordered a couple times from our forum suppliers in China and it has happened, but I hold my breath until tracking shows US Customs has released it because, especially now, it's a distinct possibility. I don't know if I really think it would be worth the time and worry to save $5, but I'm an immediate gratification person, and I have a hard enough time waiting for packages to get to me from two states over.
