It comes to no surprise that the one and only reason one would purchase a ready made LED from China is price.&nbsp; Chinese prices are easily obtainable over the internet, and the numbers are often astonishingly low. Understanding why is important.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shockingly low prices are a reflection of substandard components. Oftentimes higher prices are also an indication of better quality components as well. The challenge is in identifying those factories that produce quality displays at a reasonable price.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5 Star LED utilizes a variety of components from S. Korea and China. All of our suppliers are carefully selected for quality, reliability and price. Most of our partners have worked with us for more than a decade.&nbsp; This long term relationship allows us to service our clients for many years as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of where a display is bought we hate to see customers suffer. Before deciding to purchase internationally, consider the issues that may arise post purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Legitimacy of the company- Buying from China is often no more than a chat online with someone who is oceans away. You cannot know if he or she is a legitimate representative of an actual company.<\/li><li>Communication- From start to finish communication will be a problem. Language barriers make it exceptionally difficult to receive any amount of tech support or troubleshooting.<\/li><li>Logistics- Shipping your LED display from China is costly and time consuming. After more than a month&#8217;s wait you will begin to experience all the difficulties of getting the sign to your door and successfully installed.<\/li><li>Quality- Hundreds of customers have sought our help after purchasing from China. They bear the mental and financial burdens of having to source parts from overseas, only to later struggle with finding a local technician capable of completing the repair.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The question of whether or not to purchase an LED display from China plagues a lot of buyers.
