And an online merchant with a good reputation will resolve any issues you have with your purchase. I'm not sure if this is true, but merchants selling through Amazon, even if they suck themselves you can take things up with Amazon.com and rely on their own customer support to resolve things. @Joon – Yea, I’ve managed to find some great deals online, mostly from sites that were clearing out old inventory of products.

They always have an incredibly large selection of vegetables that are usually very fresh. On top of this, the prices are lower than your typical supermarket. However, H-Mart itself is larger than a supermarket. How could a store like this function? Also, my experience with online deal shopping is that there are things that aren't too good to be true. My original mentality of choosing to pass on deals due to their ridiculous nature has burned me in the past. If you find a ridiculous deal from a reputable source and do your research properly, you can filter out amazing deals that are just amazing.

My family has never had any problems with Chinese grocery stores, big or small. It's good to know why :) Thanks!
