Has anyone been to Shenzhen/China and brought a bike back?

I have the opportunity to head to Shenzhen for work and have been curious about the opportunity to grab a bike/wheelset from one of the many manufacturers / wholesalers located around that city.

Someone posted links to a Chinese website selling fake factor frames on the fake factor thread a couple of days ago. The paint jobs look so cool. No idea whether they have stock, or where they are. But at least it was in Chinese
Alternatively, any of the usual suspects, if they have stock, can ship to your hotel, presumably. Then the box becomes oversized luggage. If you do wheels frames and a few components, ghetto aggregate this into a bigger box, you have a bike for much cheaper. A good chunk of the prices you see on AliExpress, for example, is shipping. Duct tape can solve half of the world s problems.

Planning to get a local co-worker to take me to around with a fistful of yuan and try to stuff whatever I can get into my luggage.  If a person can't visit the sellers/makers in person, local delivery would be ok too.

Shenzhen has those giant wholesale "malls" for people to buy stuff, might be able to snag a bike bag for everything if I wound up with too much to fit into my largest suitcase.
