I thought I'd better chime in on this as I recently read the post by "cranium" and took the chance myself based on that post. I ordered 15 meters of the same 5V RGB LED strip that you can find on Adafruit.com and got them for something like $13 per meter. I was a little concerned about the process since I'd never ordered from China before or used Western Union but it all went smoothly. Just tested them a minute ago and they work perfectly. This is not an add. Just wanted to say thanks and give others a little confidence in buying from the same place. Yay! Thanks.
Here's where they have them listed: http://gree-leds.com/productshow.asp?ArticleID=TS7X2X7VTP
I can second this. I order a couple from gree-leds and they arrived in under 2 days (which surprised me as I was expecting 1-3weeks).
