"alibaba" is not a vendor or distributor as such.
They are more of a on-line market much like Ebay, Amazon or Craigslist.
Your experience there will depend upon which vendor you actually wind up dealing with.

Where do you live ? Makes a difference on what's easily available.

It is worth, and they are not expensive, just look at this:

Also you can ask for quote from keeppower and evva from alibaba, they are reliable suppliers. Or you can get assembled em3ev pack.
