Worth buying DHS Gear from China?

[schrodingerskoalabear]

I have a friend visiting China soon and I was wondering if it is worth having him get me a DHS blade and a bunch of H3Ns.

Would there be a significant price differential versus buying off of Aliexpress?

if your friend is chinese or fluent with the lingo and if he /she knows the good shops and is up with the play when it comes to ping pong gear, then Yes.
However, my friend and club member, a Chinese, went back to china for a holiday and came back with some fakes. They were cheap alright. 🤣

Haha, probably will only try and get some Hurricane rubbers (commercial and prov.) then. I am pretty sure they are too cheap to be faked ... right?

If your friend can find any local TT shops nearby where he is traveling then there is definitely money to save.
