Agreed. They are no less dishonest than we are. It is mostly a communications problem but also a cost of shipping problem and now a time to ship problem. When I buy from China, it's not something that absolutely has to satisfy me, and it's with money I can afford to lose. It has worked out well for me. Many makers contact me frequently to be a reviewer/influencer.
