Actually the quality of Febest IS known - it's usually crap!

But down here we sometime have to use what we can get. Sure, we can order a GKN from the US - and pay six times it's value in postage and then get nailed by local sales tax on import, on top of the exchange rate. All that can make a GKN from the USA cost over $100.... - I shit you not.

Changing a CV isn't something I want to do more than I have to but I've had reasonable success with brands like Febest (and others that don't even have a brand on them) - never had to re-do one (yet!).

But yes, that's good advice - get the best parts you can.
