My extended family has opted out of holiday spending for many years now. It’s just not sensible to buy things we don’t want or need, and we’re not low income. Plus it’s a good way to stick it to the big firms who moved their factories overseas.

If I need a product made overseas I just buy it direct from China, which always saves money. End-arounding the nominally US companies who just take the moron cut is everybody’s duty.

how do you identify overseas merchants in china?

Probably just buys the thing on Alibaba. For most goods, it's gonna be close enough.
