Forum member Pliskin paved the way with the first order from TBTrends. I next placed an order with this Taobao agent. Since then, others have followed suit. Weldangrind has placed several orders with TBTrends. We have all had positive experiences with this Taobao agent.

Thanks for providing the link to the Zongshen group on Taobao! If you can order all your parts directly from Zongshen you might minimize the language problems. However, check to make sure the total cost of the parts, including shipping, is not more than the total cost at TBTrends.

If you decide to order parts from China, please do start a new thread on this subject and document your experience. I am especially interested to learn if you decided to order directly from the Zongshen group on Taobao.
