I have a couple of "if, then never"'s for vendors. If they don't have a US warehouse, if they don't have shipping averages within one week, if they have ever squabbled with any of their customers in public, if they have ever said anything in a public forum that sounded arrogant, then I will never buy from them.

"if they are heavily discussed on TikTok or featured in any news article" is one of my "then I will never"'s.

That is quite the list of requirements! I like to throw money at China and see what shows up three weeks later.
