Having had close contact with the cheap import industry, I will tell you how most of the sellers work. When a container or a sellers minimum quantity is purchased from the Chinese or similar supplier, they usually include a few extra of the item in question, as freebies, just to cover any warranty or spare parts issues that might arise. If and when all of these are butchered for parts, or used as a replacement under warranty, the seller is on their own, and left to fob the buyer off best way they can. This usually ends up with misfitting parts from other known brands being modified to try and get the junk item going again, as by this time, the manufacturer has changed production of the earlier model, and the new type parts won't fit. The moral of this story is to buy a brand name from a B&M store that has been around for a while, and you can buy parts in years to come, if needed.
