stuff from China

I ordered some LED bulbs from Amazon, and they came today. Return address is:

FU YA FU
407 SI HENG
YE DA DAO
CHENCHON QIAONAN FANYUQU
GUANGZHOUSHI GUANGDONG

I am guessing that is from China. I can't even pronounce those words.

No, but I thought they would be sold by someone in the US and mailed by them, not directly from China.

That was very interesting. Considering there are over a hundred million people in that provence, the post office must be pretty good to send that here in less than a week. Imagine the volumn of mail they must have.

There's quite a few things on Epay now that come straight from China.
I was looking for a 28MM reamer on epay and most of them were coming
from China so I ordered one from Amazon, I figured it would get here faster
ended up coming from China.

Order on ebay. They tell you where it comes from.

When ordering from Amazon.com I always ensure that it states "Sold by Amazon". A lot of stuff is sold 'on' Amazon but not 'by' Amazon.

Anything not sold 'by' Amazon good luck returning it.

I was putting a couple of Apple computer systems a couple of years ago. Bits and pieces kept coming from China. And by FedEx. If I had that same part shipped from anywhere in the US by FedEx, it would have more than doubled the cost of the part itself.

Now here's the weird part: When I looked it up on the FedEx tracking, it showed that it was shipped from China, went to Anchorage, then to Memphis, then back to Anchorage for delivery. All for a $10 part with "free" shipping.

There's the "LED" shop where they came from, just like you said......in downtown Chenchon, Guangdong Hung Low. DD

I figured you would have a good comment, Vince.
I did pronounce the FU. The 407 was not too hard also.

BAHahaha, LMAO. And next door to that is their casting shop. Unfortunately it's all probably TRUE.

That's not an address. That's the sound that is made when you dump a box of silverware down your cellar stairs. I'm an old fart now!
