Ask yourself - do you feel lucky ?

When it comes to "direct from China" electrical items most are not UK legal as supplied as, most likley, it will have a US or EU plug fitted and have no independant safety certification.

Same basic item on Ebay for £7-8 delivered, but all with EU plugs. It will most likley have a "China Export" logo, but very unlikley it actually has had any form of safety testing.

Chinese supplier Vevor has stopped importing electrical goods to the UK after repeated electrical faults found on items sent for testing for safety and compliance with UK regs. Even when supposedly UK standard plugs fitted, most plugs were not compliant. Other items had serious issues such as no earth connections to metal chassis, or earth "connections" made to painted surfaces. So many items reported to Trading Standards that Vevor shipments were impounded at port of entry and most rejected. They chose to stop importing electrical items rather than make them compliant - which should be a big "Red Flag" WRT their interest in supplying safe items.

So - how lucky do you feel ? A £3 electrical item that burns your house down or kills you isn't much of a bargain in my eyes, but other opinions are available.
