China has become a powerhouse of industry. It’s part of everything we do these days. Consider shopping retail. I was looking for an item to buy as a Christmas present. I am cheap, really cheap…. A similar item in a local store cost much more and had fewer features than the Chinese model, so I ordered via AliBaba on December 1. The credit card was processed by December 2 and the item was shipped December 7. I received acknowledgement that delivery will be by tomorrow, December 19… I was worried it would be late for Christmas but it looks as if I will be OK.
Wow! My own “Black Friday” kind of excitement at my own pace and without leaving my chair… :-))
UPDATE Picked the package up at the post-office today. It was in excellent condition, exactly as advertized, and it worked perfectly. Way to go!
