Buying a MP3 Player from abroad

I am looking to buy a cheap mp3 player for every day use and have seen some that are from Hong Kong or China advertised.
Does any one know if these are reliable and will work in the UK. Or are they basically junk ???
Any help gratefully recieved

    Yes, they are generally fine, but will not match in quality to say an iPod or a Zune, but will do the job. Be warned though that delivery may be up to a month but is generally between 4 and 14 days.

    Trouble is, these will most likely be not the capacity advertised and could corrupt your data stored on them.

    Also, don't forget to do a scan when you plug it into your computer as it may be virused.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine
