I guess sometimes you need to have some good fashion trust.
Really, i guess it comes back to service.
Just like there are many people out there that buy the 3 year extended plan, with their new electronic item.
So just incase that manufacture used some bad component that happens to die with in 6 to 12 months, they
would be absolutely covered.
If you ended up buying a botched part from Mouser or Digi-Key.
They both have phones you can call, and Customer Service people that will bend over backwards for paying customers.
Giving you free replacements, Money back… Free shipping whatever it takes to keep you happy.
I guess even ebay has that buyers protection, They just extended the protection from 60 days to 90 days,
just for plenty of time to get things in from china.
Aliexpress has 30 days till after you receive the item.
In my case these 2200uf 16v counterfeits did come from aliexpress, they were like 14.99 for 200 caps, including shipping.
I basically bought them just to re assure my self that buying the absolute cheapest on the internet is bad.
Could have received my 14.99 back, but 30 days had already passed before i even opened the package.
Was not planning on using them, even if they were not counterfeit, I'm a big believer in you get what you pay for.
So I tossed most of the whole box in the trash, and just kept a few in my drawer, to keep as a specimen.
