I would never buy in China directly, because it seems an harassment to communicate with them if you need service or warranty or send it back because someting is wrong with it.
Then I prefer to pay a little bit more to get local service.

Just my 2 cents.

You really get what you pay for. Buying from an international manufacturer who doesn't sell devices directly to your carrier can be risky.

Here in the US the carrier can deny or drop service to such things as they must only allow devices on the network that are tested. There are folk that don't know this and end up feeling burned.

And the carrier could drop you off the network.

At their discretion. We are seeing Huawei spammed in the forums and it gets cleaned off so beware that and other names from new members that jump in without telling you the caveats.
