I would never buy a measuring instrument from a supplier in China in order to save a few £.

If it is DOA or has any other issues, the buyer will at least have long wait, most likely have to return the faulty unit to China at his/her expense and possibly wasted the full amount for the sake of a few £.

My recommendation would always be to purchase from a reputable UK supplier such as Rapid, RS or CPC/Farnell as returns are easy and free.

Remember that UK buyer safeguards do not apply when buying from far-away places. Also, there is no contribution to the UK economy/tax revenue.

But, it's individual choice at the end of the day.
