I thought Alibaba was like a hybrid of E-Bay and Amazon, where they work as middlemen for other merchants. If that's the case, I don't know how a physical retail presence would work for them.
Have you bought Chinese products off of eBay? The fact that you're looking at a month transit time is a major obstacle to sale, and the fact that returns are nearly impossible is worse. Give 'em a preferred place they can warehouse and logistics out of the US and all of a sudden the equation changes.
