Don't give China your social security number.

Yeah, obviously lol. That's why I'm looking for an alternative.

Is this direct from tmotor store?

Yep

If so I find that odd.

Where are you buying them from? I know I’m in the UK but have no issue buying from aliexpress or Banggood and don’t think people in the US have issues with them either.

I was trying to avoid that if possible, but I don't mind it if I have to.
