Express Delivery In China

"Made in China" we all know how many things in America are made in China. It occurred to me that there must be some sort of "outlet" for all the products that are not quite at quality standard but how and where would I be able to find these American products for sale here in China... Thanks to colleagues at George's work we found the mother load... Taobao is the name of the website where you can find EVERYTHING and they are at China prices. Of course this is very appealing to me, the bargain shopper. It has been a great find. I needed a office chair for our computer station so Mandy, George's assistant ordered one and said to expect the express delivery on Wed. Being accustom to the Fed Ex truck sound in America I was listening carefully for the delivery at the scheduled time. No truck but I did get a phone call from the office stating that my express delivery would be there shortly. The doorbell rang. There was the delivery man with the large box with a picture of my chair. Signed the delivery slip and was looking outside for the truck... No truck just the Chinese express delivery bike! Yes, he was overloaded with packages that he as delivering that morning. Now that guy really knows the meaning of a full load! This is just one way China has become? green....
