I can't imagine why you'd buy commodity semis from a Chinese source when there are great distributors like Digi-Key and Mouser, that are quite happy to serve small orders. I buy lots of batches of 10 of some part when I'm not sure it will work for a particular application. I can usually get my parts in 2-3 days.
(The only place Digi-Key annoys me is if I buy 50 or less FPGAs or CPLDs from them, they repackage them in strips of 5 chips in tapes, rather than giving me the whole tape in one long strip. These don't feed well in my pick and place machine.) Sometimes they also pile delicate components in an anti-static bag, and the leads get a bit bent up, but that is pretty rare.
