You make it sound like it's either Amazon or chinese crap made to last 2 minutes.

Good news, you can have both!

Not either or, because most of the stuff amazon sells is from china.

They are just like TCP/IP for a purchase from china, with buffering in the US, chunking, retransmit and guaranteed delivery.

You can probably be more efficient with UDP from china, but you could lose packets.

Amazon is now selling the "chinese crap made to last 2 minutes":

I will no longer use Amazon for anything where I actually care about quality or getting a legitimate product.

A few weeks ago I ordered the same USB charger a second time and got a different (but similar) item altogether.
