I've bought various stuff from hong kong and it's been great. Asuming you aren't buying electrical items you shouldn't worry

Personally I'd suggest finding a decent studio. Add the rental cost onto your fee and off you go. I don't have anything for my portrait work besides my camera, though I want to get a nice reflector asap. The issue is using it. Can't hold it and the camera at the same time.

The model has to hold it, just make sure you arent doing any full length shots Either that, or hire someone
