Yup, can buy directly from factories in PRC, but service wise really depend on the company. I had 3 orders on Aliexpress with 3 different companies so far. One made a mistake on our order and wanted to charge us more to rectify the order, but in the end we accepted the mistake at a much lower price. the 2nd order took v long to arrive, but the third order arrived on time.So a bit of luck and heng suay involved as well.
