I personally would not do business directly with a company based in China, should the order get lost, or the product is defective in some manner they could ream you bad because they do not have to abide by any American or Western law, no lawyer can help you, the Better Business Bureau can't help you, you're completely on you own and at their mercy.

There was a guy, I think on this forum, about 3 or 4 years ago bought a titanium bike frame direct from a supposedly well known Chinese company, the head tube came out ovalized and the fork would not fit, the Chinese company said he must have damaged the frame but send it back and they'll look at...he never got the frame back, never got back any money either, so the amount of money he spent for the bike and shipping it back he could have gotten a TI bike from a Western supplier and been good to go. It's one thing to deal with a Western Supplier who deals with a Chinese company because no matter what you'll get taken care of, but trying to work directly with the Chinese not so much. Of course some people have had very good luck buying direct from China but those that have problems with the product most of them get screwed.
